Solution Overview

Problem

Existing terminal-initiated reporting in mobile networks leads to management overhead, resource waste, and communication latency due to undefined resource utilization and scheduling between terminals and network nodes.

Innovation Solution

Implementing configured reporting parameters to establish a relationship between notification and reporting resources, allowing terminals to efficiently transmit radio condition reports using predefined resource configurations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If terminal-initiated reporting is implemented without predefined resource configurations, then reporting flexibility is improved, but management overhead and resource waste increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvereporting flexibilityVSAvoidmanagement overhead

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring reporting resources and establishing the relationship between notification and reporting occasions before actual reporting occurs. The network node provides configured reporting parameters that define reporting resource patterns in advance, allowing the terminal to autonomously determine reporting resources without real-time scheduling overhead.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If terminal-initiated reporting is implemented without predefined resource configurations, then reporting flexibility is improved, but communication latency increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvereporting flexibilityVSAvoidcommunication latency

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If predefined reporting resource configurations are implemented, then resource utilization efficiency is improved, but reporting flexibility decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveresource utilization efficiencyVSAvoidreporting flexibility

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by enabling the terminal to dynamically select specific reporting resources from pre-configured resource patterns based on actual reporting needs. The configured reporting parameters define resource patterns, but the terminal autonomously determines which specific resources to use, combining the efficiency of preconfiguration with the flexibility of dynamic selection.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

4Productivity

If autonomous terminal resource determination is implemented, then scheduling overhead is reduced, but resource coordination difficulty increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvescheduling efficiencyVSAvoidresource coordination complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by using configured reporting parameters to define the relationship between notification and reporting occasions. These parameters control resource selection, allowing the terminal to autonomously determine reporting resources based on predefined rules, thereby reducing scheduling overhead while maintaining coordination through parameter-based control.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

There are provided measures for coordination of terminal-initiated reporting. Such measures exemplarily comprise performing measurements on at least one reference signal, determining, based on a result of the performing measurements, whether a reporting condition is fulfilled, transmitting, when the reporting condition is fulfilled, a notification indicative of an intention to transmit a radio condition report, determining, when the reporting condition is fulfilled, based on at least one configured reporting parameter, reporting occasion resources out of a sequence of reporting occasion resources as reporting resources to be used for transmission of the radio condition report, generating the radio condition report based on the result of the performing measurements, and transmitting, when the reporting condition is fulfilled, the radio condition report in the reporting resources to be used for transmission of the radio condition report.
