Solution Overview

Problem

In communication technology, user equipment (UE) may not respond to paging from a base station when the service type does not match its expectations, leading to resource waste and communication interference.

Innovation Solution

The UE sends inactive paging restriction information to the network-side device, indicating conditions under which it should restrict paging, allowing the network-side device to determine whether to page the UE based on its state, thereby avoiding unnecessary paging and resource waste.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the base station sends paging to the UE for a service type, then the network can communicate with the UE, but the UE may not respond if the service type does not match its expectations, causing resource waste

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepaging efficiencyVSAvoidnetwork resource waste
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal performs preliminary action by sending inactive paging restriction information to the network-side device before the actual paging occurs. This information indicates the terminal's service type expectations and paging restriction conditions, allowing the network to pre-determine whether paging is necessary, thereby avoiding unnecessary paging and resource waste while maintaining communication efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If the base station pages the UE frequently to ensure communication, then communication reliability is improved, but unnecessary paging affects terminal communication and wastes resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidunnecessary paging interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal provides feedback through inactive paging restriction information to the network-side device, indicating its service type expectations and current state. This feedback mechanism enables the network to adjust paging behavior accordingly, ensuring reliable communication when needed while avoiding unnecessary paging that would interfere with terminal communication and waste resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If the network pages all SIM cards in inactive state, then no communication is missed, but communication quality is affected and resources are wasted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication completenessVSAvoidcommunication quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating paging behavior for different SIM cards based on their individual inactive paging restriction information. Each SIM card's paging is independently controlled according to its service type expectations and restriction conditions, allowing the network to page only relevant SIM cards while maintaining communication completeness and avoiding quality degradation from unnecessary paging.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

An information sending method, a paging restriction method, communication apparatuses, and storage media that improve paging in a wireless communication system. The paging is improved by: sending inactive paging restriction information to a network-side device, where the inactive paging restriction information is configured to indicate a condition for the network-side device to restrict paging of the terminal when the terminal is in an inactive state.
