Paging Message Configuration for Variable UE Capacity in LTE and 5G
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In LTE and 5G wireless communication systems, the uniform maximum number of UEs supported by a paging message leads to high overhead due to the inability to differently configure parameters for varying time-frequency resources, resulting in inefficient use of resources and increased message size with the number of paged UEs.
Innovation Solution
The method involves determining the maximum number of UEs paged by a paging message based on specific paging configuration parameters that differentiate between types of paging time units, allowing for varying maximum numbers of UEs to be supported in each type, thereby optimizing resource usage and reducing message overhead.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a uniform maximum number of UEs (16) is supported by all paging messages in LTE system, then all paging messages can be standardized with the same configuration, but the paging message overhead increases and resource utilization becomes inefficient when different paging time units have different resource capacities
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by allowing different paging time units to have different maximum numbers of supported UEs based on their specific resource characteristics. Instead of a uniform configuration, each paging time unit is locally optimized according to its time-frequency resource capacity, enabling better adaptation to varying resource conditions while reducing overall system overhead.
2Productivity
If the maximum number of UEs per paging message is increased to handle more UEs in single paging time unit, then fewer paging messages are needed, but the paging message size and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamics by making the maximum number of supported UEs variable rather than fixed. The system dynamically adjusts the maximum number of UEs per paging message based on the specific paging time unit's resource capacity and configuration, allowing flexible adaptation to different scenarios without increasing overall system complexity.
3Quantity of substance
If different paging time units are configured with different maximum numbers of supported UEs, then resource utilization improves, but the system complexity and configuration management become more complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the maxPageRec parameter to be configurable per paging time unit rather than a fixed system-wide value. This allows the system to optimize resource utilization by adjusting the maximum number of supported UEs according to each paging time unit's specific characteristics, while maintaining manageable configuration complexity through standardized parameter management.
