Terminal Handover Control via Network Device Type
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile communication technologies lack effective methods to control terminal devices during handovers in diverse scenarios, such as public places where specific actions like muting or sound broadcasting are required, leading to inconsistent user experiences.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that involve a network device sending control information to a terminal based on the type of the target network device during a handover, allowing the terminal to perform specific actions like muting or sound broadcasting, by determining the type of the target network device through measurement reports or type information exchanged between network devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the terminal performs handover to a second network device without scenario-specific control, then the handover process is simple and fast, but the terminal cannot comply with scenario requirements (e.g., muting or sound broadcasting in public places)
Solution Approach 1:
The first network device determines the type of the second network device in advance and sends control information to the terminal before the handover is completed. This preliminary identification and notification allows the terminal to prepare and execute scenario-specific actions (such as muting or sound broadcasting) before actually performing the handover, ensuring compliance with scenario requirements without adding complexity to the handover process itself
Solution Approach 2:
The first network device acts as an intermediary that receives type information about the second network device and translates it into appropriate control information for the terminal. This intermediary role allows the system to maintain simple handover procedures while ensuring scenario-specific requirements are met through coordinated control between network devices and the terminal
2Adaptability or versatility
If the network device sends control information based on second network device type, then the terminal can perform scenario-specific actions, but the handover process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The control information is sent only when necessary, based on the specific type of the second network device. Different control actions are applied locally to different scenarios (e.g., muting for subway stations, sound broadcasting for libraries) without affecting the overall handover process. This localized approach maintains adaptability while avoiding unnecessary complexity in the handover mechanism
3Productivity
If the terminal performs handover quickly without control actions, then the handover speed is high, but the terminal cannot meet scenario requirements (e.g., broadcasting sound in libraries)
Solution Approach 1:
The first network device determines the type of the second network device and sends control information to the terminal before the handover is completed. This preliminary identification and notification allows the terminal to prepare and execute scenario-specific actions (such as muting or sound broadcasting) before actually performing the handover, ensuring compliance with scenario requirements without adding complexity to the handover process itself
Solution Approach 2:
The control action is executed continuously from the moment the terminal receives control information until the handover is completed. This ensures that scenario-specific requirements are maintained throughout the entire handover process, preventing any violation of scenario restrictions while maintaining fast handover speed

AI summary
A method, apparatus and computer readable medium for improving a wireless communication system. The wireless communication system is improved by: receiving a handover request acknowledgement message from a second network device, sending control information to the terminal to control the terminal, wherein the control information indicates a control action corresponding to a type of the second network device.
