Location Recording for Successful PSCell Addition or Change Reports
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In communication systems, there is a lack of support for recording location information during successful primary secondary cell (PSCell) addition or change, leading to potential failures and affecting subsequent transmission services.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for recording location information by terminals and network devices upon successful PSCell addition or change, using various location measurement configurations and user consent mechanisms.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If location information recording is not implemented during PSCell addition or change, then the system complexity remains low, but the reliability of PSCell addition or change operations deteriorates due to lack of confirmation opportunities
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by recording location information of the terminal before and during PSCell addition or change operations. The network device obtains location information (such as GPS coordinates, cell ID, or tracking area) in advance and stores it for later verification. This preliminary recording creates a confirmation basis that can be used to verify whether the PSCell addition or change was successful, thereby improving reliability without significantly increasing system complexity.
2Reliability
If location information is recorded during successful PSCell addition or change, then the reliability improves with additional confirmation opportunity, but the loss of time increases due to additional recording operations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by utilizing location information that the terminal device already possesses and maintains for other purposes (such as positioning services, billing, or mobility management). The network device retrieves this pre-existing location information without requiring separate acquisition operations. Since the terminal already stores location data for its normal operations, reusing this information for PSCell addition/change confirmation adds minimal time overhead while improving reliability through additional verification.
