Solution Overview

Problem

In wireless communication systems, especially in scenarios involving relay networks, ensuring reliable and continuous data transmission is challenging due to mobility and handover events, leading to instability and increased latency, which is exacerbated by the complexity of managing multiple cell connections and resource allocation.

Innovation Solution

The method involves pre-configuring multiple RRC parameter groups for a user device, allowing it to dynamically select and execute the appropriate parameters based on specific conditions during handovers, thereby minimizing link re-establishment delays and resource consumption while maintaining communication continuity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional link re-establishment procedures are used during relay handover, then communication reliability is maintained, but transmission latency increases and traffic interruption occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidtransmission latency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring multiple RRC parameter groups (first RRC parameter group set) in the remote UE before handover occurs. When handover is triggered, the remote UE can immediately switch to a suitable pre-configured parameter group without waiting for new configuration, thereby eliminating the time loss associated with conventional re-establishment procedures while maintaining communication reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamics by enabling the remote UE to dynamically select and switch between multiple pre-configured RRC parameter groups based on real-time conditions during relay handover. This dynamic selection mechanism allows the system to adapt quickly to changing network conditions without the latency of conventional reconfiguration procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Loss of time

If multiple RRC parameter groups are pre-configured for dynamic selection during handover, then transmission latency is reduced and traffic continuity is enhanced, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission latencyVSAvoidparameter management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent reduces device complexity by performing the complex parameter configuration work in advance during normal operation. The multiple RRC parameter groups are pre-configured and stored in the remote UE before handover events occur, so that during actual handover the device only needs to perform simple selection and switching among pre-prepared options, rather than managing complex real-time configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Use of energy by moving object

If quick response to relay node handover is implemented through pre-configured parameters, then power consumption is reduced and resource usage is minimized, but system adaptability to diverse mobility scenarios must be maintained

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower consumptionVSAvoidmobility scenario adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent achieves low power consumption by performing the energy-intensive parameter configuration operations in advance when the device has stable connectivity. During actual handover events, the remote UE only needs to perform low-power selection and switching among pre-configured parameter groups, avoiding the need to perform complex configuration procedures during mobility events when power efficiency is critical.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent ensures system adaptability through universality by designing the first RRC parameter group set to include multiple parameter groups that can handle different mobility scenarios (varying speeds, different relay configurations, various network conditions). This universal set of pre-configured parameters enables the system to adapt to diverse mobility scenarios without requiring scenario-specific configuration procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
