Terminal Capability Reporting via Parameter Range Filtering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In conventional radio communication systems, networks often receive unnecessary information about terminal radio access capabilities, leading to inefficient reporting and increased signaling size.
Innovation Solution
A terminal is equipped with a reception unit to receive a message requesting a report of its capability, a control unit to configure and filter the information for reporting parameters based on specified ranges, and a transmission unit to send the filtered report to the base station, ensuring only necessary information is reported.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the terminal reports all radio access capability parameters, then the network acquires complete terminal capability information, but the signaling size increases and unnecessary information is transmitted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the necessary terminal capability parameters that the network actually needs, rather than transmitting all available parameters. The network indicates specific parameter ranges it requires, and the terminal reports only those parameters within the indicated ranges, thereby reducing signaling overhead while maintaining information completeness for network operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by making the terminal capability report adaptive to specific network requirements. Different networks or different operational scenarios can request different parameter ranges, allowing the terminal to provide locally optimized capability information tailored to the specific network's needs, rather than a uniform complete report in all cases.
2Loss of information
If the terminal reports all radio access capability parameters, then the network has full capability data, but the reporting efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent improves reporting efficiency by extracting and transmitting only the essential capability parameters that the network needs for its operations. The network specifies parameter ranges in its request, and the terminal efficiently reports only those parameters, avoiding the overhead of transmitting unnecessary data and thus improving reporting productivity.
3Loss of information
If the network requests comprehensive terminal capability information, then complete capability data is obtained, but unnecessary information is acquired that is not required for network operations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent eliminates unnecessary data transmission by extracting only the specific terminal capability parameters that the network requires for its operations. The network indicates the parameter ranges it needs, and the terminal reports only those parameters, thereby preventing the transmission and processing of unnecessary information that would consume network resources.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameters being reported based on network requirements. Instead of always reporting all capability parameters, the terminal adapts its report to include only parameters within the ranges indicated by the network, dynamically adjusting the reported parameter set to match actual network needs and avoid unnecessary data transmission.

AI summary
A terminal includes a reception unit that receives, from a base station, a message for requesting to report a terminal capability, a control unit that configures information for reporting a parameter associated with a codebook based on information for indicating a range of the parameter associated with the codebook included in the message for requesting the report of the terminal capability, and that includes, in a message for reporting the terminal capability, the information for reporting the parameter associated with the codebook, and a transmission unit that transmits the message for reporting the terminal capability to the base station.
