Solution Overview

Problem

There is a lack of effective solutions for the storage and management of UE policies at the terminal side in communication processing, leading to inefficient use of network resources and data transmission.

Innovation Solution

The solution involves associating network identifiers with UE policy information, allowing the terminal device to report only specific UE policy information corresponding to these identifiers to the network side, reducing the burden on network resources and improving data transmission efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the terminal device reports all stored UE policy information to the network side, then the network side has complete policy information for management and updating, but the network resources are heavily occupied and data transmission efficiency is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveUE policy management completenessVSAvoidnetwork resource occupation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments UE policy information by associating it with network identifiers (such as PLMN identifiers). The terminal device divides the complete policy information into distinct segments corresponding to different networks, allowing selective reporting of only the relevant segment to the network side, thereby reducing overall network resource occupation while maintaining management completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts only the necessary UE policy information corresponding to specific network identifiers from the terminal device's stored policies. By extracting and reporting only the relevant portion rather than all stored information, the system reduces network resource burden while still providing sufficient information for effective policy management and updating.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the terminal device stores all UE policy information locally, then the terminal has complete policy data for various networks, but the storage space and management complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork access flexibilityVSAvoidUE policy management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent organizes stored UE policy information into segments associated with different network identifiers. This segmentation allows the terminal device to manage policies in a structured manner, making it easier to locate, select, and update specific policies without overwhelming complexity, while still maintaining the ability to access any stored policy for network access flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If the terminal device reports UE policy information selectively based on network identifiers, then network resource occupation is reduced and transmission efficiency is improved, but the network side may receive incomplete information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission efficiencyVSAvoidUE policy information completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the terminal device reports UE policy information segmented by network identifiers to the network side. The network side can then request specific additional information if needed, ensuring that while the terminal reduces transmission burden by reporting only necessary information, the network maintains sufficient information completeness through targeted requests and updates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
