Network Entity Low Reliability Period Detection Handover
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current handover solutions in wireless communication networks, such as those in 5G New Radio systems, do not provide sufficient reliability during multi-connectivity handovers, leading to communication disruptions and reliability issues.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for identifying low reliability periods in wireless communication networks, where a processor determines when communication reliability falls below a threshold and initiates remedial actions, such as increasing transmit power, using packet duplication, and adjusting modulation and coding schemes, to enhance reliability during handovers and other reliability challenges.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If current handover solutions are used in wireless communication networks, then the handover process can be completed, but the reliability of communications during multi-connectivity handovers is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The network entity identifies low reliability periods in advance before they occur, allowing remedial actions to be prepared and executed proactively. The system monitors communication reliability metrics and detects when reliability is trending below the threshold, enabling preemptive intervention rather than reactive response.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors communication reliability metrics and uses this feedback to trigger remedial actions when reliability falls below the threshold. The network entity receives feedback about communication quality and adjusts its operations accordingly to maintain reliability during handover processes.
2Reliability
If remedial actions are implemented to increase reliability during low reliability periods, then communication reliability improves, but additional network control and processing are required
Solution Approach 1:
The network entity changes operational parameters such as transmit power levels, modulation schemes, and resource allocation when low reliability periods are detected. By adjusting these parameters dynamically, the system improves communication reliability without requiring fundamental changes to network architecture or complex new protocols.

AI summary
The present disclosure generally relates to techniques to increase reliability of communications within a network during a low reliability period. The network may include a user equipment (UE) communicatively coupled with one or more transmit/receive points (TRPs), with the communications between the UE and the one more TRPs requiring a reliability above a first reliability threshold. A processor of a network entity may identify a low reliability period which occurs when the reliability of the communications is determined to be below a second reliability threshold. The processor may cause the network to perform one or more remedial actions to increase the reliability during the low reliability period.
