Solution Overview

Problem

The uncertainty in the judgment conditions for terminals to request system information from network devices leads to inconsistent and unreliable system information delivery, which is critical for services requiring high precision and low latency.

Innovation Solution

A method where terminals determine the need for specific system information based on service requirements and trigger requests accordingly, using indication information and request messages to ensure clarity and certainty in the system information request process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If terminals use unclear judgment conditions to request system information, then the request process becomes flexible, but the reliability of system information delivery deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflexibility of request processVSAvoidreliability of system information delivery
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of judgment conditions from unclear to clear and specific. It defines precise triggering conditions including expiration of stored system information, changes in service requirements, and network device indications, transforming the flexible but unreliable request process into a reliable yet adaptable system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where terminals monitor the validity of stored system information and actively request updates when conditions change. The network device provides feedback through indications to terminals about system information availability, creating a closed-loop system that maintains reliability while allowing flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If terminals proactively request system information frequently, then the certainty of receiving information improves, but the loss of time and energy increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecertainty of receiving informationVSAvoidtime for request process
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by having terminals store system information in advance and monitor its validity. Instead of frequently requesting information, terminals proactively check whether stored information is still valid based on predefined conditions, reducing unnecessary requests while ensuring information availability when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements periodic action through scheduled validation checks of stored system information. Terminals periodically assess whether triggering conditions are met (expiration, service changes) and only request updates when necessary, creating an efficient rhythm that balances reliability with resource conservation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Measurement precision

If the system implements clear judgment conditions for information requests, then the precision of information delivery improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprecision of information deliveryVSAvoidcomplexity of request process
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the complex request process into distinct, manageable conditions: validity checking of stored information, service requirement matching, and network device indication responses. Each segment handles a specific aspect of the decision-making process, making the overall system more manageable despite the precision required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by implementing different judgment criteria for different scenarios. Specific conditions are tailored to particular situations (expiration checks for cached information, service-type-specific requirements, network-indicated updates), allowing precise control without uniformly complicating the entire system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
