Solution Overview

Problem

In 5G mobile communication positioning scenarios, there is a challenge in determining which User Equipment (UE) should participate in sensing and how to efficiently select suitable UEs for sensing services, especially considering geographical location and measurement quantity value requirements.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for selecting a sensing terminal, where a first device determines a condition for selection based on geographical location and measurement quantity value requirements, and terminals capable of meeting these conditions can participate in sensing by sending a sensing response.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If all terminals are selected for sensing participation, then the sensing coverage and data quantity are improved, but the network overhead and processing complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of sensing terminalsVSAvoidselection process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the terminal selection process into multiple stages: first filtering terminals based on geographical location requirements, then further filtering based on measurement quantity value requirements. This segmentation allows the system to manage large numbers of terminals systematically without overwhelming complexity at any single stage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing selection criteria (geographical location requirements and measurement quantity value requirements) before the actual sensing process. Terminals are pre-filtered based on these criteria, so only qualified terminals participate in sensing, reducing the burden during the sensing execution phase.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If strict geographical location and measurement criteria are enforced, then the sensing accuracy is improved, but the number of eligible terminals decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesensing measurement accuracyVSAvoidnumber of participating terminals
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes parameter changes by allowing the geographical location requirements and measurement quantity value requirements to be dynamically configured based on sensing service needs. This enables the system to adjust the strictness of criteria to balance between accuracy requirements and terminal availability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If manual terminal selection is performed, then the selection accuracy is improved, but the time consumption and operational complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveterminal selection accuracyVSAvoidterminal selection time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service by enabling terminals to autonomously evaluate themselves against the selection criteria. Terminals can determine their own eligibility based on their geographical location and measurement capabilities, eliminating the need for manual selection while maintaining accuracy through automated criterion evaluation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies feedback mechanisms where terminals report their geographical location and measurement quantity values to the network, which then automatically compares these against the requirements. This automated feedback loop enables rapid, accurate selection without manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
