Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication technologies face challenges in meeting the requirements for 5G high-reliability transmission, particularly at the edge of a cell, due to difficulties in efficiently configuring parameters for low-latency and high-reliability services.

Innovation Solution

The method involves classifying configuration parameters into an information element structure, adding this structure to a radio resource control (RRC) message, and sending it to user equipment (UE), which includes a category identifier to differentiate between cell common and UE specific parameters, thereby enhancing air interface efficiency and cooperating with the physical layer for parameter configuration.

Solution Approach 1:

The configuration parameter set is segmented into multiple information elements, each carrying specific configuration parameters. This segmentation allows for organized and efficient transmission of parameters needed for high-reliability services, making the configuration process more manageable and effective, particularly for 5G transmission at cell edges.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The base station performs preliminary configuration by classifying parameters into information elements and embedding them in RRC messages before actual data transmission. This preliminary action ensures that all necessary configuration parameters are pre-established, enabling the UE to properly handle high-reliability transmission requirements without complex real-time configuration.
