Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication technologies struggle to effectively obtain and utilize auxiliary information from wearable devices to optimize communication parameters, particularly in the context of NR-lite deployment in R17, leading to suboptimal network configurations.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that enable terminals to determine and report wearable device auxiliary information, such as service characteristics, DRX parameters, bandwidth, release type, mobility, and distance information, to network devices for improved parameter configuration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If wearable devices communicate directly with network devices, then communication functionality is provided, but network devices cannot obtain auxiliary information from wearable devices for parameter configuration
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal acts as an intermediary between the wearable device and the network device. The terminal obtains auxiliary information from the wearable device through PAN communication and then reports this information to the network device through WAN communication. This mediator approach allows information transfer without requiring direct complex interaction between the wearable device and network device, resolving the contradiction between information completeness and system complexity.
2Productivity
If network devices configure communication parameters without wearable device auxiliary information, then communication can be established, but communication efficiency and functionality are suboptimal
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal obtains and reports wearable device auxiliary information to the network device before the network device configures communication parameters. This preliminary action ensures that the network device has all necessary information (service characteristics, DRX parameters, bandwidth, mobility, distance) available in advance, enabling optimal parameter configuration and improving communication efficiency.
3Manufacturing precision
If terminals report all wearable device auxiliary information to network devices, then parameter configuration is optimized, but signaling overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal extracts and reports only the necessary auxiliary information elements to the network device, such as service characteristics, DRX parameters, bandwidth, mobility state, and distance information. By selectively extracting only the relevant parameters needed for optimization rather than transmitting all possible data, the solution achieves accurate parameter configuration while controlling signaling overhead.
