Solution Overview

Problem

In LTE systems, UE_IDs are equally distributed across paging time units, making it impossible to implement differentiated allocation of paging resources, especially when paging time units have different time-frequency resource types, leading to inefficient use of resources.

Innovation Solution

The method involves determining paging time units based on UE IDs, configuration parameters, and preset rules, which differentiate between at least two types of paging time units with distinct time-frequency resource types, allowing for unequal distribution of UEs and optimizing resource allocation by varying the multiplexing schemes and resource sizes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If UE_IDs are equally distributed across paging time units, then the distribution is simple and uniform, but differentiated allocation of paging resources cannot be implemented when paging time units have different time-frequency resource types

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedifferentiated allocation capabilityVSAvoiddistribution rule complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by assigning different distribution rules to different types of paging time units based on their time-frequency resource characteristics. Specifically, paging time units with larger resource sizes use one distribution rule while those with smaller resource sizes use another distribution rule, enabling differentiated resource allocation tailored to local resource conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the distribution parameter from a uniform approach to a type-dependent approach. By introducing paging time unit types as a distinguishing parameter, the system selects different distribution rules based on resource size characteristics, transforming a single-parameter uniform distribution into a multi-parameter differentiated distribution system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If paging time units have different time-frequency resource types with different sizes, then resource utilization can be optimized, but equal distribution of UEs cannot be implemented

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilization efficiencyVSAvoiddistribution flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements local quality by matching distribution strategies to local resource characteristics. Paging time units with larger time-frequency resource sizes are assigned UEs according to one rule, while those with smaller sizes follow another rule, optimizing resource utilization efficiency by adapting the distribution approach to local resource availability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamics by making the distribution rule selection dependent on the paging time unit type and resource size. Rather than a static uniform distribution, the system dynamically selects appropriate distribution rules based on the specific characteristics of each paging time unit, enabling flexible adaptation to varying resource conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Quantity of substance

If the number of paging time units is reduced, then paging message overhead is minimized, but the ability to accommodate different resource types is compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepaging message overheadVSAvoidresource type accommodation
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the approach from increasing the number of paging time units to optimizing the utilization of existing units through type-based differentiation. By introducing type parameters and corresponding distribution rules, the system achieves better resource utilization efficiency with fewer paging time units, thereby reducing paging message overhead while maintaining adaptability to different resource types

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
