Solution Overview

Problem

In heterogeneous wireless communication networks, the inability to acquire movement information of User Equipments (UEs) before they switch into a connection state hinders timely optimization of parameter configurations, leading to adverse effects on communication performance, especially for UEs moving at high speeds.

Innovation Solution

The method involves UEs reporting movement information, including first and second movement information, to network-side devices immediately upon switching from an idle state to a connection state, allowing for quicker parameter configuration optimization and preventing communication performance degradation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the network side waits until after the UE has been switched into a connection state for a period of time to acquire movement information, then the UE can establish connection first, but the parameter configuration cannot be optimized in time, adversely affecting communication performance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication performanceVSAvoidtime to acquire movement information
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The UE reports movement information in the RRC connection setup complete message, which is transmitted immediately after the UE switches into the connection state. This preliminary reporting allows the network side to acquire movement information without delay, enabling timely parameter configuration optimization and avoiding the time loss associated with waiting for subsequent measurement reports.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Stability of the object's composition

If the TTT is longer for cell switching, then the switching procedure is more stable, but for high-speed UEs the cell switching may be later, resulting in wireless link failure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveswitching procedure stabilityVSAvoidcell switching speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The network side dynamically adjusts the TTT parameter based on the UE's movement information (speed state) reported in the RRC connection setup complete message. For high-speed UEs, the network configures a shorter TTT to enable faster cell switching, while for low-speed UEs, a longer TTT maintains switching stability. This dynamic adjustment resolves the contradiction between switching stability and switching speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Productivity

If the network optimizes parameter configuration based on UE movement information, then communication performance is improved, but the network must acquire movement information timely, which is not possible with traditional delayed reporting methods

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication performance optimizationVSAvoidtime delay in acquiring movement information
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The UE includes movement information in the RRC connection setup complete message, which is transmitted immediately after connection establishment. This preliminary action eliminates the time delay inherent in traditional methods where movement information was only available after the UE had been in the connection state for a period of time, enabling immediate parameter configuration optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The UE provides feedback about its movement information (such as speed state or mobility status) to the network side through the RRC connection setup complete message. This feedback mechanism enables the network to understand the UE's movement characteristics and configure appropriate parameters, improving communication performance while eliminating the time delay associated with waiting for subsequent measurement reports.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
