Solution Overview

Problem

In next-generation mobile communication systems, the increased number of user equipment (UEs) leads to significant consumption of system resources for operations like measurement control, handover, and paging, which can compromise transmission performance and fail to meet UE transmission requirements.

Innovation Solution

An access network node receives mobility level information of a UE and performs handover control, measurement control, and paging operations accordingly, limiting these operations to the UE's specific mobility level, thereby reducing unnecessary resource consumption and enhancing system performance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If measurement control, handover, and paging operations are performed for all UEs in next-generation mobile communication systems, then comprehensive network coverage and service quality are maintained, but system resources are significantly consumed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork coverage and service qualityVSAvoidsystem resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating control operations based on UE mobility levels. The access network node receives mobility level information from the core network and performs measurement control, handover, and paging operations selectively according to each UE's mobility level (first level or second level), rather than applying uniform operations to all UEs. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining necessary service quality for each mobility level while reducing overall system resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Stability of the object's composition

If uniform handover control and measurement control operations are applied to all UEs, then service consistency is maintained, but unnecessary operations consume system resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice consistencyVSAvoidsystem resource efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements local quality by tailoring handover control and measurement control operations to specific UE mobility levels. The access network node receives mobility level information indicating whether a UE belongs to a first mobility level or second mobility level, and accordingly performs different control operations. This maintains service consistency within each mobility level group while improving system resource efficiency through differentiated operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing UEs into different mobility level groups (first mobility level and second mobility level) based on their mobility characteristics. The core network determines and provides mobility level information to the access network node, which then segments control operations accordingly. This segmentation allows the system to maintain consistency within groups while reducing unnecessary operations across the entire UE population.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
