Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The challenge of how a terminal registers with a network, particularly in scenarios where the terminal has a sensing capability, has not been adequately addressed in existing 5G networks.
Innovation Solution
A registration method is provided where a terminal sends a sensing registration request to a first network element, including identity, location, and sensing area information, which is processed to manage the terminal's sensing service, utilizing existing terminal registration procedures to reduce communication overheads.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a terminal with sensing capability registers with the network using existing terminal registration procedures, then the registration process is simplified and communication overheads are reduced, but the specific sensing service management requirements are not addressed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by enabling the existing terminal registration procedure to serve dual purposes: both general terminal registration and sensing service registration. The sensing registration request is integrated into the existing registration flow, allowing the same communication channel and processing logic to handle both terminal identity registration and sensing capability registration, thereby reducing complexity while maintaining sensing service management capability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the sensing registration process with the existing terminal registration procedure. By combining these two previously separate processes into a single unified registration flow, the patent reduces the number of communication steps and overhead while ensuring that sensing service management requirements are properly addressed through the integrated process
2Adaptability or versatility
If a separate sensing registration procedure is implemented, then sensing service management is enhanced, but communication overheads and registration complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines sensing registration with terminal registration into a single unified procedure. By merging these processes, the patent eliminates the need for separate communication exchanges, thereby reducing communication overhead and energy consumption while still providing comprehensive sensing service management capability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the registration procedure universal by enabling it to handle both terminal registration and sensing service registration simultaneously. This multi-functionality approach allows the same communication channel and processing logic to serve multiple purposes, reducing redundant communication and energy waste

AI summary
Embodiments of this application provide a registration method and a related device, and relate to the communication field. In the registration method, a terminal sends a sensing registration request to a first network element, where the sensing registration request includes identity information of the terminal, location information of the terminal, and sensing area information of the terminal. The terminal receives a sensing registration response to the sensing registration request, where the sensing registration response is sent by the first network element, and includes a registration result of the terminal. Therefore, in this application, the terminal may request, by initiating the sensing registration request, to register with the first network element, to implement registration of the terminal, so that the first network element can manage the terminal, for example, manage a sensing service of the terminal.
