Terminal Device Parameter Control for Radio Service Trade-offs
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In existing radio communication systems, user requests for response speed and power consumption are not effectively reflected in the radio communication service, leading to potential unmet user needs due to a lack of understanding about the dependence between these parameters.
Innovation Solution
A terminal device and base station system that provides parameter-related information to users, allowing them to adjust settings based on the understanding of the dependence between power consumption, response speed, and connection maintenance parameters, enabling users to make informed decisions that balance these factors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the terminal device merely has an auxiliary role for base station control, then the base station can perform RAN control efficiently, but user requests for response speed and power consumption cannot be reflected in the radio communication service
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces parameter-related information as an intermediary element that bridges the terminal device and base station. This information includes parameter names, values, and dependence relations between parameters, enabling the terminal to express user requests while the base station maintains control authority. The intermediary allows the terminal to reflect user needs without directly controlling RAN functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes parameter-related information to change control parameters in the radio communication service. By providing information about parameter dependence relations, the terminal can influence how the base station adjusts parameters like response speed and power consumption, allowing user requests to be reflected through parameter modification rather than direct control.
2Reliability
If a system is introduced to reflect user requests on radio communication service, then user needs can be met, but another request with dependence relation may be affected (e.g., power consumption increases)
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback through parameter-related information that includes dependence relations between parameters. The terminal device receives feedback about how changing one parameter (e.g., response speed) affects other parameters (e.g., power consumption), allowing users to make informed decisions about trade-offs and understand the consequences of their requests.
Solution Approach 2:
The base station performs preliminary action by providing parameter-related information before executing user requests. This includes advance notification about dependence relations between parameters, allowing users to prepare for and understand potential side effects before the actual parameter changes occur, preventing unexpected power consumption increases.
3Ease of operation
If the user does not understand the dependence relation between requests, then the user can make simple requests, but the user may not understand why power consumption increases when another request is affected
Solution Approach 1:
Parameter-related information acts as an intermediary that conveys dependence relation information between parameters to the user. This intermediary layer translates complex parameter interactions into understandable information, allowing users to grasp why changing one parameter affects others without overwhelming them with technical complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback to the user about dependence relations between parameters through parameter-related information. This feedback mechanism ensures users understand the consequences of their requests, such as why power consumption increases when response speed is improved, enabling informed decision-making while maintaining simple request interfaces.

AI summary
There is provided a communication device including a display control unit configured to, in a case where information on a plurality of parameters is provided, use the provided information and control display of a screen for deciding values of the plurality of parameters, the plurality of parameters each indicating user's request with respect to a radio communication service and depending on each other, and an acquisition unit configured to acquire the decided values of the plurality of parameters. The acquired values of the plurality of parameters are used for changing control of the radio communication service.
