Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If UE reports location only within the event report allowed area, then power consumption is reduced, but location service coverage is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamic area configuration where the event report allowed area can be flexibly adjusted between a first area (coarse-grained, larger coverage) and a second area (fine-grained, smaller coverage). The network device dynamically configures which area the UE should report within based on service requirements, enabling adaptive power consumption and coverage trade-offs rather than fixed reporting restrictions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of area granularity by introducing two distinct area configurations: a first area with coarse-grained boundaries and a second area with fine-grained boundaries. By switching between these area parameters, the system enables UE to expand reporting coverage when needed while maintaining power efficiency during normal operation, resolving the contradiction between coverage and power consumption.
2Measurement precision
If UE performs event reporting only within the event report allowed area, then reporting accuracy is maintained, but service flexibility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically switches between first area and second area configurations based on service type and requirements. For services requiring high accuracy, the fine-grained second area is used. For services requiring broader coverage or mobility, the coarse-grained first area is applied. This dynamic adaptation maintains reporting accuracy where needed while providing service flexibility across different scenarios.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal area configuration mechanism that can serve multiple service types and requirements. The same UE can operate under different area configurations depending on the active service, making the reporting system universally applicable to both accuracy-critical services and flexibility-critical services without compromising either requirement.
3Use of energy by moving object
If the event report allowed area is converted from fine-grained to coarse-grained, then power saving is improved, but location precision is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically selects between coarse-grained first area and fine-grained second area based on service requirements. When power saving is the priority and high precision is not required, the coarse-grained first area is used. When precision requirements increase, the system switches to the fine-grained second area, enabling adaptive balancing between power saving and location precision rather than fixed trade-off.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the granularity parameter of the reporting area by introducing two distinct area types. The network device can configure the UE to use the coarse-grained first area for power-efficient reporting or switch to the fine-grained second area when higher precision is needed, providing flexible parameter adjustment to resolve the precision-power saving contradiction.
