Solution Overview
Problem
Existing radio access network technologies face inefficiencies due to single reporting content and inflexible conditions, leading to excessive network resource usage and load, which affects service processing and new network access requests.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for reporting radio access network element information, where reporting policy information including set content and conditions are used to configure flexible reporting scenarios, allowing reports to be sent to control network elements or gateway devices via signaling or tunnels based on satisfied conditions, reducing network load and resource occupation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If location information is frequently reported when UE location changes in small range cells, then location information accuracy is improved, but network resource usage and load increase excessively
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter of reporting frequency based on cell size. For small-range cells, it reduces reporting frequency to save network resources, while for large-range cells, it maintains higher reporting frequency to ensure location accuracy. This parameter adjustment resolves the contradiction between location accuracy and network resource consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic reporting policies that adapt to different scenarios. The reporting behavior is made dynamic by adjusting it according to cell size, UE mobility state, and service requirements, rather than using a fixed reporting mechanism. This dynamic approach optimizes the balance between location accuracy and network resource usage.
2Loss of information
If location information is frequently reported, then location information completeness is improved, but service processing capability deteriorates due to heavy network load
Solution Approach 1:
The patent adjusts reporting parameters such as reporting threshold and frequency based on network conditions and service requirements. By changing these parameters dynamically, the system maintains sufficient location information completeness while reducing unnecessary reporting that would burden network services.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies partial reporting action by selectively reporting location information only when necessary (e.g., when location changes exceed a threshold or when triggered by specific events). This partial action approach maintains information completeness for critical scenarios while avoiding excessive reporting that would degrade service processing capability.
3Device complexity
If single reporting content and inflexible conditions are used, then system complexity is reduced, but adaptability to different scenarios deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the reporting system into multiple independent components: reporting triggers, reporting content, reporting frequency, and reporting targets. Each component can be independently configured and adjusted. This segmentation allows the system to maintain relatively simple individual components while achieving high overall adaptability through flexible combination of segments.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic configuration capabilities that allow reporting parameters and conditions to be adjusted based on different scenarios without changing the underlying system structure. This dynamic approach enables the system to adapt to various scenarios while maintaining a relatively simple and stable core architecture.

AI summary
A method for reporting radio access network element information includes: acquiring reporting policy information, where the reporting policy information includes set reporting content and a set reporting condition (101); and if the reporting condition is satisfied, reporting a radio access network element information report to a control network element by using signaling according to the reporting content that includes location information and corresponding time information or reporting a radio access network element information report to a gateway device by using a tunnel according to the reporting content that includes location information (102). In embodiments of the present invention, reporting policy information, for example, reporting content and a reporting condition, may be configured flexibly according to a scenario, and when the reporting condition is satisfied, a radio access network element information report may be reported to a control network element or a gateway device according to the reporting content.
