Solution Overview

Problem

Existing telecommunications systems struggle to prioritize emission requirements for radio frequency transmission by user equipment (UE) effectively, particularly for specific-purpose features that require different emission standards.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of an apparatus within the user equipment that receives system information containing a list of network signaling (NS) values associated with emission requirements, selects a specific-purpose NS value based on supported features, and applies the corresponding emission requirement for radio frequency transmission.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a single emission requirement is applied to all user equipment, then device complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but specific-purpose features cannot meet their specialized emission standards

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveemission requirement adaptabilityVSAvoidemission requirement management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by enabling different emission requirements to be selectively applied to different user equipment based on their specific-purpose features. The network can identify UEs with particular features (e.g., aerial vehicles, IoT devices) and assign customized emission requirements from a set of available requirements, allowing each UE to operate under the appropriate local emission standards rather than a universal rule.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamics by making the emission requirement assignment flexible and changeable. The network can dynamically select from multiple available emission requirements and assign the most appropriate one to each UE based on current operational conditions, UE capabilities, and regulatory requirements. This dynamic approach allows the system to adapt to changing circumstances while managing complexity through automated selection algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If multiple emission requirements are provided for different specific-purpose features, then compliance with specialized operational conditions is improved, but the complexity of selecting and applying the correct requirement increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveemission compliance reliabilityVSAvoidemission requirement selection ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies self-service by enabling user equipment to autonomously determine and apply the appropriate emission requirement based on their own specific-purpose features. The UE can identify its own feature set (e.g., aerial vehicle capability, IoT device type) and automatically select the corresponding emission requirement from the provided set, reducing the need for complex network-side management and manual configuration while ensuring reliable compliance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the network provides information about available emission requirements and their associated features to the UEs. The UEs can then feedback their feature capabilities to the network, enabling the network to make informed assignments. This bidirectional feedback loop ensures that the correct emission requirements are applied while simplifying the operational complexity through structured information exchange.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
