Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conditional handover and conditional PSCell addition/change are configured separately, then the system structure is simple, but the mobility management reliability and accuracy are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemobility management reliabilityVSAvoidconfiguration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines conditional handover and conditional PSCell addition/change into a single unified configuration structure. The network device can simultaneously configure both conditional handover parameters and conditional PSCell addition/change parameters, allowing the terminal to execute both mobility procedures based on the same execution condition. This merging approach improves mobility management reliability and accuracy while avoiding the limitations of separate configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Measurement precision

If conditional handover and conditional PSCell addition/change are configured simultaneously, then the mobility management accuracy is improved, but the configuration and execution complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemobility management accuracyVSAvoidconfiguration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the conditional mobility configuration into distinct but coordinated components: conditional handover configuration and conditional PSCell addition/change configuration. Each component has its own parameters and execution logic, but both are governed by the same execution condition. This segmentation allows for precise control and independent optimization of each mobility procedure while maintaining overall coordination through the unified execution condition framework.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If separate conditional mobility configurations are used, then the execution logic is simple, but the mobility management robustness is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemobility management robustnessVSAvoidexecution logic complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the terminal evaluates the execution condition and selectively executes the appropriate conditional mobility procedure (conditional handover, conditional PSCell addition, or conditional PSCell change) based on the current network state and measurement results. The network device receives feedback information from the terminal and can adjust the configuration accordingly. This feedback loop enhances mobility management robustness by enabling adaptive decision-making while maintaining clear execution logic through the unified condition-based framework.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
