Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In dual-connection communication scenarios, the primary network node experiences high load and congestion due to the need for frequent signaling interactions and updates, which burdens the system and can lead to network congestion.
Innovation Solution
The secondary network node autonomously updates its configuration based on its own network state, reducing the reliance on the primary network node for signaling interactions and overhead, by acquiring and utilizing information such as congestion state, data amount, signal quality, and connection state to manage its operations independently.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the primary network node manages and updates the network configuration of the secondary network node, then the network configuration can be coordinated centrally, but the load on the primary network node increases and network congestion risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the network node management functions into two independent parts: the primary network node manages its own configuration, and the secondary network node autonomously manages its own configuration based on terminal communication requirements. This segmentation eliminates the need for the primary node to handle secondary node configuration updates, reducing its load while maintaining coordinated network operation through independent decision-making at each node
Solution Approach 2:
The secondary network node is empowered to autonomously acquire network state information and independently update its own configuration based on terminal communication requirements. This self-service capability allows the secondary node to manage itself without burdening the primary node, thereby reducing overall system congestion while maintaining adaptive configuration management
2Adaptability or versatility
If the primary network node frequently interacts with the secondary network node for configuration updates, then the network can adapt to changing conditions, but the signaling overhead increases and network congestion occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The secondary network node autonomously monitors network state information and independently updates its configuration based on terminal communication requirements. This eliminates the need for frequent signaling interactions with the primary node for configuration updates, thereby maintaining high adaptability while significantly reducing signaling overhead and preventing network congestion
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where the secondary network node continuously acquires network state information and uses this feedback to autonomously adjust its configuration. This closed-loop approach enables the network to adapt to changing conditions efficiently without requiring constant primary node intervention, thus reducing signaling overhead while maintaining adaptability

AI summary
The present application discloses a communication method, a secondary network node, and a terminal. The method includes: a secondary network node acquires a network state of a cell served by the secondary network node; the secondary network node updates a network configuration of the cell served by the secondary network node according to the network state of the cell served by the secondary network node; the secondary network node sends first update configuration information to a terminal, wherein the first update configuration information is used for updating the network configuration of the cell served by the secondary network node. According to the embodiment of the present application, the network configuration of the cell served by the secondary network node is autonomously updated by the secondary network node according to the network state of the cell served by the secondary network node, a situation that the network state of the secondary network node needs to be configured by a primary network node in the prior art is avoided, so that load of the primary network node in a double-connection scenario is reduced, and a risk of network congestion caused by heavy load of the primary network node is reduced.
