Solution Overview

Problem

In the context of 5G network deployment, terminals often experience frequent and intermittent network access failures due to various reasons, including packet loss and system log abnormalities, which affect user experience and are not effectively addressed by current technologies.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for handling network connection abnormalities in terminals, which involve determining the reason for the abnormality and performing corresponding repair operations, such as re-registering cells, reconnecting to the network, and sending notifications to the application server, to automatically identify and repair issues at the terminal, network, and application server sides.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If automatic abnormality detection and repair operations are implemented, then network connectivity reliability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork connectivity reliabilityVSAvoidabnormality handling system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The abnormality handling system is segmented into distinct functional modules: abnormality detection module, abnormality determination module, and repair operation module. Each module handles specific aspects of network connectivity monitoring and repair, making the complex system manageable and maintainable while improving reliability through specialized functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal performs self-diagnosis and self-repair operations by automatically detecting network connectivity abnormalities, determining their causes, and executing repair operations without requiring manual intervention. This self-service capability improves network connectivity reliability while containing complexity within automated routines rather than requiring complex external management systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If multiple repair operations are performed to address different abnormality causes, then network connectivity reliability is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork connectivity reliabilityVSAvoidabnormality repair time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary detection and determination of abnormality causes before executing repair operations. By pre-identifying whether the abnormality is at the terminal side, network side, or application server side, the system can select the most appropriate repair operation in advance, reducing unnecessary processing time while ensuring reliable repair through targeted actions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The repair operation module dynamically selects and executes appropriate repair operations based on the determined abnormality cause. The system adapts its response by performing different operations (terminal-side recovery, cell re-registration, network reconnection, or notification sending) according to the specific conditions detected, optimizing processing time while maintaining high reliability through context-aware repair strategies.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
