RA Report Storage Control via Configuration Matching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional management of Random Access (RA) reports is not optimal, leading to inefficient use of resources due to unnecessary storage and transmission of reports associated with outdated or irrelevant RA configurations, which hinders RA optimization and increases memory, processing, and signaling overhead.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus and method that selectively control the storage and transmission of RA reports based on criteria such as whether the RA configuration is current, outdated, or associated with specific cells or procedures, allowing only relevant reports to be stored and transmitted, thereby optimizing resource usage and facilitating RA optimization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If all RA reports are stored and transmitted regardless of relevance, then complete logging coverage is achieved, but resource efficiency deteriorates due to unnecessary storage and transmission overhead
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and identifies only the relevant RA reports that need to be logged and transmitted by applying selection criteria based on RA configuration matching. This extraction principle filters out unnecessary reports while retaining essential ones, resolving the contradiction between complete logging coverage and resource efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of report selection from unconditional (all reports) to conditional (matching RA configuration). By introducing configuration-based criteria as a filtering parameter, the system optimizes resource usage while maintaining necessary logging coverage.
2Reliability
If RA reports with outdated configurations are stored and transmitted, then comprehensive historical data is preserved, but device complexity increases due to processing and managing irrelevant data
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the RA reports associated with current or relevant RA configurations, removing outdated and irrelevant reports from storage and transmission. This reduces processing overhead while preserving data completeness for relevant cases.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of processing all RA reports excessively, the patent applies partial action by selectively processing only those reports that match current RA configurations. This partial processing approach reduces device complexity while maintaining reliability for relevant data.
3Loss of information
If memory resources are allocated for storing all RA reports, then full reporting capability is maintained, but resource efficiency deteriorates due to unnecessary memory consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and retains only RA reports that correspond to current or relevant RA configurations in memory. By removing unnecessary reports from storage, memory usage is optimized while full reporting capability is maintained for relevant configurations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the memory storage parameter from storing all reports to storing only configuration-matched reports. This parameter change optimizes memory resource efficiency while preserving complete reporting capability for relevant RA procedures.
4Loss of information
If transmission resources are used to send all RA reports, then complete network visibility is achieved, but resource efficiency deteriorates due to unnecessary signaling overhead
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and transmits only RA reports that match current or relevant RA configurations. By filtering out unnecessary reports before transmission, network visibility is maintained for relevant data while signaling overhead is significantly reduced.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the transmission parameter from sending all reports to sending only configuration-matched reports. This optimization reduces signaling overhead and energy consumption while preserving complete network visibility for relevant RA procedures.
