Solution Overview

Problem

Paging failures in wireless communications networks adversely impact services, and existing methods do not effectively predict or mitigate these failures.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for predicting paging failures by network units, which transmit alert messages to determine inactive assistance information and transition remote units to an inactive state, using network data analytics to analyze paging failure possibilities and send timely notifications to reduce network resource usage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If remote units remain in active state to ensure reliable service, then service reliability is improved, but network resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice reliabilityVSAvoidnetwork resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by predicting paging failures before they occur and proactively transitioning remote units to inactive state in advance, preventing service disruptions while optimizing resource usage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically transitions remote units between active and inactive states based on real-time predictions of paging failure risk, allowing the network to adapt resource allocation to actual service needs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Use of energy by moving object

If remote units are transitioned to inactive state to conserve network resources, then network resource usage is reduced, but service reliability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork resource usageVSAvoidservice reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses feedback from paging failure predictions to dynamically adjust the state of remote units, transitioning them to inactive state only when prediction indicates low failure risk, thus maintaining service reliability while optimizing resource usage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the operational state parameter of remote units (active/inactive) based on predicted paging failure probabilities, optimizing the balance between resource consumption and service reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Device complexity

If traditional paging methods are used without prediction, then system complexity is low, but paging failure rate increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidpaging success rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary prediction of paging failures using analytics functions before attempting paging operations, enabling proactive prevention of failures without significantly increasing operational complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary prediction function that analyzes paging failure risks and provides recommendations, acting as a mediator between the network and remote units to improve paging success rates

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
