Terminal Positioning Configuration for Shared PLMN Radio Networks
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In future radio communication systems, resource sharing among multiple operators leads to unchangeable configurations for specific UEs, resulting in inadequate management of flexible communication and potential suppression of communication quality enhancement.
Innovation Solution
A terminal equipped with a receiving section to receive configuration information associated with a PLMN ID and a control section to perform positioning-related control based on this information, allowing for separate and flexible configuration for each operator.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If resource sharing is performed among multiple operators, then frequency band utilization efficiency is improved, but configuration flexibility for specific UEs deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments configuration information by associating it with specific PLMN IDs, allowing different configuration sets for different operators while sharing the same frequency resources. This enables operator-specific positioning configurations to be maintained even in a shared resource environment.
Solution Approach 2:
Different positioning configuration parameters are applied locally to each operator's UEs based on their respective PLMN IDs. The terminal can selectively apply configuration information corresponding to its serving operator, ensuring localized optimization without affecting other operators' configurations.
2Device complexity
If configuration information is made unchangeable for multiple operators, then network management simplicity is improved, but communication quality enhancement deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically selects which configuration information to apply based on the PLMN ID. The terminal can switch between different configuration sets depending on which operator's network it is accessing, allowing the system to adapt to different operator requirements while maintaining a unified base configuration structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The PLMN ID serves as an intermediary that links the terminal to the appropriate configuration information. This mediator enables the system to manage multiple operator-specific configurations without increasing overall system complexity, as the PLMN ID automatically routes the terminal to the correct configuration set.
