Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If bearer split is performed between macrocell and small cell base stations, then data transmission capacity is improved, but data throughput is degraded without appropriate cell selection
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic cell selection for uplink data transmission in dual connect bearer split scenarios. The mobile station apparatus dynamically determines which base station (macrocell or small cell) to transmit uplink data to, based on real-time conditions. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction by enabling the system to achieve high data transmission capacity through bearer split while maintaining reliable data throughput through intelligent, condition-based cell selection.
2Quantity of substance
If multiple base stations are used for bearer split, then communication bandwidth is increased, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables the mobile station apparatus to autonomously perform cell selection and data transmission routing in dual connect bearer split scenarios. By implementing self-service mechanisms where the mobile station independently determines the appropriate base station for uplink transmission based on configured parameters and real-time conditions, the system achieves increased communication bandwidth through multiple base stations without proportionally increasing system complexity, as the intelligent automation reduces the need for complex centralized control.

AI summary
A wireless communication system in which a first base station apparatus and a second base station apparatus communicate with a terminal apparatus. The first base station apparatus transmits, to the terminal apparatus, data control information related to data transmission and reception of the terminal apparatus and preferential base station apparatus information indicating a priority of data transmission to the base station apparatus, and the terminal apparatus determines any base station apparatus of the first base station apparatus and the second base station apparatus, as a data transmission destination base station apparatus, for data to which bearer split is configured by the data control information, based on at least one of the preferential base station apparatus information and terminal information of the terminal apparatus.
