Solution Overview

Problem

In wireless communication systems, particularly in 5G networks, Redcap terminals and general terminals share the same paging indication information, leading to unnecessary paging monitoring due to differing paging probabilities and transmission characteristics, resulting in inefficient power usage and reduced coverage capacity.

Innovation Solution

The method involves sending multiple paging indication information configured to instruct different types of terminals, such as Redcap terminals and general terminals, to monitor paging messages based on their specific types, using Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) with multiple information fields and sequences to determine appropriate monitoring instructions.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Use of energy by moving object

If multiple paging indication information are sent to different terminal types, then power efficiency and monitoring accuracy are improved, but system complexity and signaling overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The paging indication information is segmented into multiple types (first paging indication information for Redcap terminals, second paging indication information for general terminals). Each terminal type receives customized paging indication information tailored to its specific characteristics, enabling optimized power management and monitoring strategies for each segment without imposing unnecessary complexity on other terminal types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If paging indication information is customized for different terminal types, then monitoring accuracy and power usage are optimized, but signaling overhead and processing complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemonitoring accuracyVSAvoidsignaling overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

Different paging indication information are transmitted to different terminal types based on their local characteristics. Redcap terminals receive first paging indication information optimized for their coverage enhancement needs, while general terminals receive second paging indication information optimized for their power efficiency needs. This local quality approach ensures each terminal type receives precisely the right information for its specific requirements, avoiding both over-provisioning and under-provisioning.
