Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication technologies require manual adjustment of mobility control parameters by base stations to balance terminal link connection failure rates and ping-pong handover rates, which is inefficient and lacks automatic adaptation to changing terminal and cell conditions.

Innovation Solution

A method where terminals report moving speed and target cell size information to base stations, allowing for automatic adjustment of mobility control parameters to optimize handover processes and reduce link failures and ping-pong handovers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If base stations perform manual adjustment of mobility control parameters through extensive outdoor tests and data collection, then the balance between link connection failure rate and ping-pong handover rate can be optimized, but the process is inefficient and cannot automatically adapt to changing terminal and cell conditions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelink connection failure rate and ping-pong handover rate balanceVSAvoidautomatic adjustment capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the terminal reports its moving state to the base station, and the base station adjusts mobility control parameters accordingly. This closed-loop feedback system enables automatic adaptation to changing conditions without requiring extensive manual testing, resolving the contradiction between optimization effectiveness and automation extent.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal autonomously detects its own moving state and initiates the parameter adjustment process by reporting to the base station. This self-service capability eliminates the need for manual intervention in parameter optimization, allowing the system to automatically adapt to changing terminal and cell conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Manufacturing precision

If base stations conduct extensive outdoor tests and data collection to determine control parameter values, then proper parameter values can be established, but the process is time-consuming and cannot keep up with dynamic network changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol parameter value accuracyVSAvoidparameter determination time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent establishes preliminary parameter values through manual optimization, but then enables automatic adjustment through feedback mechanisms. This allows the system to maintain accurate parameter values while eliminating the need for continuous extensive testing, reducing time loss while preserving precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes mobility control parameters based on real-time terminal moving state reports. Instead of using fixed parameters determined through lengthy outdoor tests, the system automatically adapts parameters to current conditions, reducing the time required for parameter determination while maintaining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If mobility control parameters are manually adjusted based on statistical analyses, then optimal handover performance can be achieved, but the system lacks automatic adaptation to changing terminal and cell conditions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehandover performanceVSAvoidautomatic adaptation to changing conditions
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms static manually-determined parameters into dynamic automatically-adjusted parameters. The system continuously adapts mobility control parameters based on real-time terminal moving state reports, enabling automatic adaptation to changing conditions while maintaining high handover performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The feedback mechanism where terminals report their moving state enables the base station to automatically adjust parameters in response to changing conditions. This maintains optimal handover performance while adding automatic adaptability, resolving the contradiction between productivity and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

The present invention discloses a method for adjusting control parameters. The method includes: when a terminal fails to be handed over from a source cell to a target cell, or when the terminal is handed over from a source cell to a target cell successfully and a radio link connection failure occurs on a radio link established between the terminal and the target cell, reestablishing, by the terminal, a radio link with a reestablished cell; and sending, by the terminal, a report message to a base station of the reestablished cell, where the report message carries moving speed information of the terminal and/or size information of the target cell.
