Communication Terminal Receiver Conflict Resolution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Communication terminals face conflicts in receiving information due to timing collisions between transmissions from different base stations, leading to missed notifications or data overlap, particularly in UMTS networks with CMAS and PCH transmissions, and dual-SIM dual-standby scenarios.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that determine conflicts between information receptions from different base stations and control the receiver to switch to alternative base stations for non-conflicting transmissions, ensuring simultaneous reception of critical information without overlap, using a determiner and controller within the communication terminal to manage receiver operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the communication terminal receives information from multiple base stations simultaneously, then the coverage and reliability of information reception is improved, but timing collisions between transmissions cause conflicts and information loss
Solution Approach 1:
The communication terminal determines timing collision conflicts between first information from a first base station and second information from a second base station before reception, and in advance switches the receiver to receive the first information from a second base station when conflict is detected, thereby avoiding information loss caused by timing collisions
Solution Approach 2:
The receiver acts as an intermediary component that can be dynamically controlled to switch between different base stations for receiving different information, resolving the timing collision conflict by selecting appropriate reception sources based on timing analysis
2Reliability
If the communication terminal switches receiver to avoid timing collisions, then information reception reliability is improved, but the complexity of receiver control increases
Solution Approach 1:
The communication terminal autonomously determines timing collision conflicts between information from different base stations and automatically controls the receiver to switch between base stations without external intervention, resolving the conflict while maintaining simple control architecture

AI summary
According to one aspect of this disclosure, a method for receiving information is provided, the method comprising determining whether there is a conflict between the reception of first information by a communication terminal from a first base station and the reception of second information by the communication terminal and depending on the result of the determination, controlling a receiver of the communication terminal to receive the first information from a second base station.
