Network Handover Policy for Thermal-Latency Balance in 5G Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In electronic devices operating on 5G networks, high power consumption leads to heat generation, which can cause freezing or disconnection when the device switches to a 4G network to cool down, due to increased latency, affecting user experience.
Innovation Solution
The method involves monitoring network latencies and temperatures to determine a network handover policy, adjusting fluency parameters like frame rate or resolution, and prioritizing networks based on latency to prevent freezing or disconnection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Temperature
If the electronic device triggers handover from 5G network to 4G network to cool down, then the temperature is reduced, but the network latency increases causing freezing or disconnection on the interface
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic network handover policies that adapt to real-time temperature and latency conditions. The system continuously monitors device temperature and network performance, dynamically adjusting handover thresholds and parameters to balance thermal management with network performance requirements
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes multiple parameters simultaneously including temperature thresholds, latency thresholds, handover timing, and network selection criteria. By adjusting these parameters dynamically based on device state and network conditions, the system optimizes the balance between cooling effectiveness and maintaining acceptable network performance
2Productivity
If the electronic device operates on 5G network, then the data service performance is improved, but the power consumption increases leading to heat generation
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements periodic monitoring of temperature and network performance metrics, with scheduled evaluations of handover conditions. This periodic assessment allows the device to maintain optimal 5G performance while periodically checking whether thermal thresholds require network transitions for cooling
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs feedback mechanisms that continuously monitor device temperature, power consumption, and network performance. This feedback loop enables the system to adjust network selection and handover decisions based on real-time operational data, optimizing the balance between performance and thermal management
3Temperature
If the fluency parameter is reduced to resolve heat generation, then the temperature is controlled, but the user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces network handover as an intermediary mechanism between thermal management requirements and user experience preservation. Instead of directly reducing fluency parameters to control temperature, the system uses network switching as an intermediate approach that addresses thermal issues while maintaining acceptable user experience through optimized network selection

AI summary
Embodiments of this application provide a method for adjusting interface balance and an electronic device, to resolve a conventional-technology problem that when the electronic device is cooled down, freezing or even disconnection may occur on an interface of the electronic device. The method includes: In response to an operation of enabling a first data service by a user, the electronic device detects a current network. If the current network is a first network, the electronic device obtains a first service latency of running the first data service in the first network by the electronic device, and continuously monitors a first temperature of the electronic device. When the first temperature is greater than a first preset temperature, the electronic device triggers handover from the first network to a second network, and obtains a second service latency of running the first data service in the second network by the electronic device, where network performance of the first network is higher than network performance of the second network. The electronic device determines a network handover policy based on the first service latency and the second service latency.
