UE CPAC Configuration Using MN and SN Validity Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The challenge of effectively configuring subsequent conditional primary cell group (PSCell) addition or change (CPAC) in wireless communication systems, particularly in scenarios involving master and secondary nodes, is not adequately addressed by existing technologies.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for information configuration are provided, enabling user equipment (UE) to receive configurations from both master node (MN) and secondary node (SN) for subsequent CPAC, with mechanisms for handling different types of CPAC scenarios and ensuring efficient resource management through validity periods and maximum configuration limits.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the UE receives configuration information from both MN and SN for subsequent CPAC, then the configuration completeness and adaptability are improved, but the device complexity and information management difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the configuration information management by introducing distinct validity period mechanisms for different configuration sources (MN and SN). Each configuration type (first configuration from MN, second configuration from SN) is managed independently with its own validity criteria, allowing the system to handle multiple configuration sources without overwhelming complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic configuration management through time-based validity periods and maximum configuration counts. The configuration information is not static but has defined lifecycles, automatically becoming invalid after certain time periods or when maximum counts are reached, enabling the system to adapt to changing network conditions while maintaining manageable complexity.
2Reliability
If configuration information is retained indefinitely, then the reliability of subsequent CPAC is improved, but the network resource occupation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies periodic action through validity periods for configuration information. Configurations from MN and SN are retained only for defined time periods or until maximum configuration counts are reached. This periodic invalidation ensures that the system maintains reliable configurations when needed while automatically releasing resources when configurations are no longer current or necessary.
