Solution Overview

Problem

The existing network camping policies for terminals in 5G networks are often adjusted after issues arise, leading to lag and poor network service quality due to the lack of proactive anomaly detection and information sharing between terminals.

Innovation Solution

A method where terminals share network state information about cells they access, allowing other terminals to adjust their camping policies based on this information and cell measurement data, thereby optimizing network quality before or after camping.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If network camping policy is adjusted only after detecting network anomalies in current cell, then the terminal can respond to actual network conditions, but the adjustment is lagging and network service quality deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork service qualityVSAvoidresponse time for policy adjustment
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal performs preliminary actions by proactively measuring and evaluating candidate cells before current cell anomalies occur. The terminal maintains measurement information of neighbor cells and pre-evaluates their network conditions, so when the current cell becomes abnormal, the terminal can immediately switch to a pre-evaluated alternative cell, avoiding service quality deterioration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal establishes a feedback mechanism by continuously monitoring network state information from multiple terminals and cell measurement results. The network camping policy is dynamically adjusted based on this feedback loop, where the terminal receives network state information from other terminals, evaluates candidate cells, and updates its camping policy in real-time based on the evaluated results and current network conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Loss of information

If the terminal independently evaluates all candidate cells, then the terminal has complete information for decision-making, but the information collection time and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork state information completenessVSAvoidinformation collection time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple terminals merge their network state information through a sharing mechanism. Instead of each terminal independently collecting information from all candidate cells, terminals share their measured network state information about common cells. This allows the first terminal to obtain comprehensive network state information from multiple sources without having to independently evaluate every cell, reducing information collection time while maintaining completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

Provided are a method for adjusting a network camping policy of a terminal, a terminal, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. In the method, the first terminal receives first network state information sent by at least one second terminal. The first network state information indicates whether a cell accessed by the second terminal within a preset time period is a cell of network anomaly. The first terminal adjusts a network camping policy of the first terminal, according to the first network state information and cell measurement information of candidate cells of the first terminal.
