Solution Overview

Problem

Terminal devices in RRC idle or inactive states continuously monitor paging messages despite infrequent page receptions, leading to excessive power consumption.

Innovation Solution

Implementing an indication signal to determine whether a terminal device receives a paging message, reducing unnecessary monitoring and conserving power.

1Reliability

If terminal devices continuously monitor paging messages in RRC idle or inactive states, then paging message reception reliability is improved, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepaging message reception reliabilityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The network device sends an indication signal before the terminal device monitors the paging message. This preliminary indication allows the terminal to determine in advance whether paging monitoring is necessary, avoiding unnecessary power consumption while ensuring reliable reception when needed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal device autonomously determines whether to monitor paging messages based on the received indication signal. This self-service mechanism allows the terminal to independently optimize its power consumption without continuous network control, reducing unnecessary monitoring while maintaining reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
