Paging Grouping Indication for Base Station-UE Consistency
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication systems face challenges in ensuring consistency between base stations and terminals regarding paging grouping modes, leading to potential disruptions in the paging process due to lack of standardized indication methods.
Innovation Solution
The method involves a base station sending indication information to a terminal indicating supported paging grouping modes, such as network-assigned or UE-ID-based modes, using Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling or downlink control information (DCI) to ensure both entities select the same mode, thereby maintaining the normal progress of paging processes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a base station notifies the terminal of supported paging grouping modes, then consistency between base station and terminal is improved, but device complexity increases due to additional signaling requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces indication information as an intermediary element that carries paging grouping mode support details between the base station and terminal. This mediator structure standardizes the communication of capability information, resolving the contradiction by providing a clear signaling mechanism that improves reliability while managing complexity through structured data transmission.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter representation by introducing specific indication information fields that encode paging grouping mode support. Instead of complex negotiated protocols, the system uses parameter-based indication where the base station transmits predefined mode indicators, simplifying the interaction while ensuring both parties understand the supported modes.
2Reliability
If paging grouping mode indication is implemented, then paging process reliability is improved, but loss of time occurs due to additional signaling exchange
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by having the base station notify the terminal of supported paging grouping modes in advance, before the actual paging process begins. This advance notification ensures that both entities have consistent understanding of available modes, improving reliability while allowing the paging procedure to proceed efficiently without delays during critical paging moments.
3Ease of operation
If standardized indication method is used, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases due to implementation requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements universality by creating a standardized indication information structure that can be applied across different paging grouping modes and scenarios. This universal signaling mechanism simplifies operation by providing a consistent interface for mode indication, while the standardized nature reduces implementation complexity through reuse of proven protocols and structures.
