Solution Overview

Problem

Current service activation methods in mobile communication technology result in resource wastage as they activate all services simultaneously, whereas only a subset of services are needed in certain scenarios.

Innovation Solution

A method where a terminal sends indication information to a network entity during registration, specifying which services to activate and deactivate, including identification information for PLMN or network slices, using registration request or completion messages, and during attachment, location, or tracking area updates.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If all services are activated simultaneously during terminal registration, then service availability is improved, but resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice availabilityVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by enabling the terminal to indicate only the necessary services that need to be activated during registration, rather than activating all services. The network entity receives this indication and activates only the indicated services, reducing resource consumption while maintaining service availability for needed services.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

2Adaptability or versatility

If all services are activated during terminal registration, then service completeness is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice completenessVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the service activation process by introducing a service indication mechanism where the terminal specifies which services are needed. This divides the monolithic activation process into selective activation, allowing the system to maintain completeness of available services while reducing the complexity of the activation management by only processing indicated services.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If all services are activated during terminal registration, then service coverage is improved, but activation time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice coverageVSAvoidactivation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent reduces activation time by applying partial action - the terminal indicates only the services that need to be activated, and the network entity activates only those indicated services. This eliminates the time required to activate unnecessary services while ensuring all needed services are activated, thus reducing total activation time while maintaining service coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
