Solution Overview

Problem

In communication systems, there is a lack of support for reporting successful primary secondary cell (PScell) addition or change, which can lead to failures affecting subsequent transmission services such as dropped calls.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for a terminal device to send indication information to a network-side device upon meeting a reporting trigger condition, indicating successful PScell addition or change, and for the network-side device to receive and obtain this report.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If PScell addition or change is performed without reporting support, then the operation can be executed, but the reliability of the operation is compromised due to lack of confirmation

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovePScell addition or change success confirmationVSAvoidreporting mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the terminal device sends indication information to the network-side device to report whether PScell addition or change was successful. The network-side device receives this indication and determines the outcome based on the reported information, creating a closed-loop feedback system that confirms operation success without requiring complex additional reporting procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Stability of the object's composition

If no reporting mechanism is implemented, then the system remains simple, but service continuity cannot be ensured

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice continuityVSAvoidreporting procedure
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by having the terminal device prepare and send indication information about PScell addition or change results before any potential service disruption occurs. The network-side device uses this advance information to determine operation success and take preventive measures, ensuring service continuity without requiring complex post-failure recovery procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If indication information is sent to report success, then confirmation opportunity is provided, but communication overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation success confirmationVSAvoidcommunication overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential information needed for success confirmation by sending compact indication information from the terminal device to the network-side device. This indication contains only the critical success/failure status without requiring transmission of complete detailed reports, thereby providing reliable confirmation while minimizing communication overhead and information loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
