Terminal Capability Reporting Format for Mobile Communication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing mobile communication systems face inefficiencies in reporting terminal capability information, particularly with the limited range of frequency band indicators and the need for extended signaling overhead, as they struggle to effectively convey the terminal's supported frequency bands and combinations to the base station.
Innovation Solution
The proposed method introduces a new format for frequency band indicators, distinguishing between type 1 and type 2 indicators, allowing for a more efficient reporting of terminal capabilities by using separate information elements and shortened indicators, thereby minimizing signaling overhead and enabling better communication between the terminal and the base station.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the terminal uses existing frequency band indicators to report supported bands, then the base station can identify terminal capabilities, but the signaling overhead increases and the report message size becomes large
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the format and representation parameters of frequency band indicators. Instead of using traditional detailed band indicators, the system uses a compressed format where the terminal reports capability information with reduced parameter overhead, achieving both complete capability transmission and minimized message size
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts only the essential capability information needed for carrier aggregation operation. Rather than reporting all possible frequency band details, the terminal extracts and reports only the relevant capability parameters that the base station needs to make scheduling decisions
2Productivity
If the terminal reports detailed frequency band combinations, then the base station can optimize resource allocation, but the capability report message size increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the representation of frequency band combination information by changing parameters to a more efficient format. The terminal reports capability data using optimized parameters that convey the same resource allocation information with reduced message size, enabling the base station to maintain allocation efficiency without receiving exhaustive band combination details
3Loss of information
If the system uses traditional capability reporting methods, then all frequency band information can be conveyed, but the data rate and communication efficiency are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes to the capability reporting mechanism, transforming the information transmission format to support higher data rates. By optimizing the parameter structure and using efficient encoding, the system conveys complete frequency band information while enabling faster communication and improved overall system productivity

AI summary
A method for reporting performance of a terminal in a mobile communication system includes the steps of receiving a request for performance reporting from a base station, determining an indicator of whether a delay time related operation that the terminal supports is in correspondence with the request which corresponds to a pre-set condition, and transmitting a message including the determined indicator to the base station. The size of the performance reporting message may be minimized in reporting the performance of the terminal.
