Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication technologies lack efficient methods for configuring reference configuration information, particularly in the context of Layer 1/Layer 2-triggered mobility (LTM) and selective activation of cell groups, which are incremental configurations requiring separate management but lack clear configuration processes.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If reference configuration information is managed separately for LTM and selective activation of cell groups, then configuration flexibility and mobility operation efficiency are improved, but configuration complexity and management difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the reference configuration into separate reference configuration information for different mobility operations (LTM and selective activation of cell groups). Each mobility operation has its own dedicated reference configuration, allowing independent management and flexible configuration without interference between operations, thus resolving the contradiction between flexibility and complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent establishes a unified reference configuration management mechanism that serves multiple mobility operations simultaneously. The reference configuration information structure is designed to be universally applicable across different mobility scenarios, enabling efficient management while maintaining operation-specific customization, thereby balancing flexibility and complexity.
2Productivity
If complete candidate configuration information is generated for each mobility operation, then mobility operation efficiency is improved, but configuration processing time and resource consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent pre-configures reference configuration information for mobility operations in advance. The network device configures reference configuration information before mobility operations are executed, allowing the terminal to store and retrieve this information quickly during actual mobility events, thereby reducing real-time processing time while maintaining complete configuration availability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines the configuration of reference configuration information with the configuration of candidate configurations for mobility operations. By merging these configuration processes and using a unified management mechanism, the system reduces redundant processing steps and resource consumption while still generating complete candidate configuration information when needed.
3Adaptability or versatility
If reference configuration information is configured with setup/release parameters, then configuration adaptability is improved, but configuration processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamic configuration parameters (setup and release) to the reference configuration information structure. These parameters allow the reference configuration to be dynamically activated or deactivated based on operational needs, providing flexibility and adaptability. The dynamic nature of these parameters is managed through standardized processing procedures, balancing adaptability with processing complexity.
