UE Anchor Switching with Task Anchor Information Handover
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In 6G communication systems, when a user equipment (UE) changes connection anchors, the new connection anchor cannot communicate with the previous task anchor due to a lack of information about the task anchor, hindering efficient task result interaction.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that enable a target access apparatus to determine the task apparatus corresponding to a UE by receiving and utilizing information about the task apparatus and the UE, facilitating task result interaction through stored correspondence or mobility management function queries.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the connection anchor is switched to maintain connection service, then connection service continuity is improved, but the new connection anchor cannot obtain task anchor information, causing task result interaction to fail
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by having the terminal store task anchor information locally before connection anchor switching occurs. When the terminal switches from a source connection anchor to a target connection anchor, it can immediately provide the stored task anchor information to the new connection anchor without relying on the previous connection, thus preventing information loss and maintaining task result interaction capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses the terminal as an intermediary carrier that holds and transfers task anchor information. The terminal acts as a mediator between the task anchor and the connection anchor, storing the task anchor's address information and providing it to the current connection anchor, enabling indirect communication paths to be established even when direct connections change.
2Reliability
If the task anchor remains unchanged during connection anchor switching, then task execution continuity is improved, but communication between the new connection anchor and task anchor cannot be established
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling the terminal to autonomously manage task anchor information without requiring intervention from the task anchor or connection anchors. The terminal automatically stores task anchor address information when receiving task results and automatically provides this information to the current connection anchor when switching occurs, making the system self-sufficient in maintaining communication paths.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the terminal continuously monitors connection anchor status and automatically updates the connection anchor with task anchor information when switching occurs. The system provides feedback loops that ensure the connection anchor always has the necessary task anchor information to maintain communication, improving ease of operation through automated information synchronization.

AI summary
Embodiments of this application provide a communication method and apparatus, and relate to the field of communication technologies, to resolve a problem of establishing, by a terminal, a connection to a previous task anchor after a connection anchor of the terminal is switched. The method includes: A target access apparatus receives first information, where the first information includes information about a task apparatus and information about the terminal; and determines, based on the first information, the task apparatus corresponding to the terminal.
