Solution Overview

Problem

Existing mobile communication systems face challenges in efficiently managing and optimizing random access procedures for system information requests, particularly when they fail, leading to inefficiencies and suboptimal network performance.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for reporting information related to system information requests in next-generation mobile communication systems, where a terminal identifies successful or failed random access procedures, stores relevant information, and transmits a report to the base station, enabling improved network optimization and resource management.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If random access procedures for system information requests are not monitored and reported, then the reporting mechanism remains simple, but network performance optimization is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork performance optimizationVSAvoidreporting mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the terminal monitors random access procedure outcomes (success/failure) and reports this information back to the network. This feedback enables the network to optimize system information request handling based on actual access procedure performance, resolving the contradiction by making the reporting mechanism performance-driven rather than universally complex.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal performs preliminary monitoring of random access procedure outcomes before reporting. By pre-identifying successful or failed access procedures and storing relevant information, the terminal prepares data in advance, reducing the complexity of the actual reporting process while ensuring reliable performance optimization data is available when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If detailed information on random access procedures is collected and reported, then network optimization capability is improved, but signaling overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork optimization capabilityVSAvoidsignaling overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential information needed for network optimization - specifically whether the random access procedure succeeded or failed, and basic identifiers. By taking out only the critical data elements rather than reporting all possible access procedure details, the patent improves network optimization capability while minimizing signaling overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by reporting only the necessary subset of random access procedure information (success/failure status and identifiers) rather than complete detailed information. This partial reporting approach provides sufficient data for network optimization while avoiding the excessive signaling overhead that would result from comprehensive reporting.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Productivity

If random access failure information is stored and reported, then system efficiency is improved, but terminal processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem efficiencyVSAvoidterminal processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal performs self-service by autonomously monitoring its own random access procedure outcomes, storing the results, and preparing reports without requiring complex external coordination. This self-service approach improves system efficiency by enabling the terminal to contribute to network optimization independently, while keeping terminal processing complexity manageable through straightforward monitoring and storage operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal performs preliminary actions by monitoring and storing random access procedure results as they occur, rather than requiring complex post-processing. By capturing and storing failure information in real-time during the access procedure, the terminal simplifies its processing complexity while ensuring efficiency-improving data is available for reporting when the network requests it.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
