Solution Overview

Problem

Existing mobile communication systems face challenges in effectively transmitting Quality of Experience (QoE) measurement reports, particularly during cell group changes, which can lead to incomplete or failed transmissions.

Innovation Solution

The method involves processing control signals to transmit QoE measurement reports using Radio Resource Control (RRC) messages, allowing for RRC segmentation when necessary, ensuring complete reporting even during cell group changes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If QoE measurement reports are transmitted using standard RRC messages without segmentation support, then the transmission process is simple, but the transmission reliability deteriorates during cell group changes leading to incomplete or failed transmissions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission reliabilityVSAvoidmessage processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the QoE measurement report transmission into multiple segments when the report size exceeds the maximum RRC message size. The segmentation is controlled by the segmentationIndicator field, and each segment is transmitted separately with proper reassembly at the receiver, ensuring complete and reliable transmission even during cell group changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If QoE measurement reports are segmented and retransmitted during cell group changes, then transmission completeness is improved, but the transmission time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission completenessVSAvoidtransmission time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by preparing and transmitting the segmentationIndicator and other necessary control information along with the QoE measurement report before actual data transmission. This allows the receiving end to properly reconstruct and process the segmented data, reducing retransmission delays and improving overall transmission efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If RRC segmentation is enabled for QoE measurement reports, then transmission reliability during cell group changes is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional processing requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission reliabilityVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by implementing segmentation and reassembly functionality only where needed - specifically at the UE and gNB ends for QoE measurement report transmissions. The segmentationIndicator and related processing are localized to the RRC layer, allowing other parts of the system to operate without modification, thus minimizing overall device complexity while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
