Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Sensing measurements in 3GPP networks generate redundant data and signaling overhead due to periodic transmission of large volumes of data with small variations, increasing communication overhead.

Innovation Solution

Implement a method for reporting sensing information based on configured sensing information reporting events, using thresholds and timers to determine when to transmit sensing data, reducing unnecessary data and signaling.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If periodic transmission of sensing measurements is implemented, then sensing functionality is supported in the network, but data overhead and signaling overhead increase due to redundant transmissions

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesensing functionalityVSAvoiddata overhead

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements event-triggered periodic reporting where sensing measurements are transmitted periodically only when specific events occur (such as when measurements meet certain thresholds or conditions), rather than continuous periodic transmission. This reduces redundant data transmissions while maintaining sensing functionality.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts and transmits only the necessary sensing information that meets predefined criteria or events, rather than transmitting all sensing measurements. This selective extraction reduces data overhead by filtering out redundant information before transmission.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Adaptability or versatility

If periodic transmission of sensing measurements is implemented, then sensing functionality is supported, but signaling overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses event-triggered periodic reporting to reduce signaling overhead by activating transmissions only when specific events occur, rather than maintaining continuous periodic signaling for all sensing measurements.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts only the essential sensing information that requires reporting based on predefined events or thresholds, reducing the volume of signaling data that needs to be transmitted while maintaining sensing functionality.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Loss of information

If all sensing measurements are transmitted, then complete sensing information is available, but redundant data increases transmission overhead

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesensing information completenessVSAvoidredundant data

Core Design Contradiction:
