Random Access Reporting for Connection Reliability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication technologies fail to effectively address abnormal connections between terminals and networks, leading to persistent issues with random access process failures and subsequent connection re-establishment.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for reporting and modifying random access process information, allowing the network to optimize configuration settings based on the type of random access process, thereby improving connection reliability and reducing failures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the terminal records failure information as part of the radio link failure report, then the failure information is preserved for network analysis, but the abnormal connection problem cannot be solved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the terminal reports random access failure information to the network side, and the network side uses this feedback to adjust random access configuration parameters. This closed-loop feedback system enables the network to optimize configuration based on actual failure patterns, thereby improving connection reliability while preserving failure information for analysis
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal autonomously monitors random access process outcomes and self-generates failure reports containing detailed process information. This self-service capability allows the terminal to actively participate in troubleshooting by providing diagnostic data without requiring external intervention, while the network side autonomously adjusts configurations based on received reports
2Loss of information
If the terminal initiates connection re-establishment with failure report indication, then the network can obtain failure reports, but the connection re-establishment process is extended
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal prepares and buffers random access failure information in advance during the failure occurrence, so that when connection re-establishment is needed, the information is already ready for immediate reporting. This preliminary action eliminates the need for additional information collection time during re-establishment, reducing overall time loss while ensuring failure report availability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the failure information reporting process with the connection re-establishment signaling process. The failure report is transmitted within existing re-establishment messages rather than as a separate interaction, thereby making the network obtain failure reports without extending the re-establishment timeline
3Reliability
If the network side requests and receives detailed random access process information, then the configuration can be optimized, but the signaling overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal reports only specific local characteristics of the random access failure (such as failure type, cell identity, and relevant process parameters) rather than complete process logs. This selective reporting provides the network with sufficient information for configuration optimization while minimizing signaling overhead by excluding redundant data
