Solution Overview

Problem

In wireless communication systems, the lack of clear agreement between terminal devices and network devices on the effective or expiry time of negotiated capabilities can lead to communication efficiency degradation, including increased bit error rates and unnecessary data retransmissions.

Innovation Solution

A method where terminal devices send a message to network devices for capability negotiation, with the negotiation rules determining the effect or expiry time of the capability, ensuring both devices have a consistent understanding of when the capability takes effect or expires.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If capability negotiation is performed between terminal device and network device, then the network device can know the dynamic changes of terminal capability, but the communication efficiency degrades due to disagreement on effect time or expiry time of the capability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecapability understanding consistencyVSAvoidcommunication efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining capability effect time and expiry time rules in the capability negotiation message. The terminal device and network device agree in advance on when the negotiated capability takes effect and when it expires, eliminating subsequent misunderstandings. This preliminary agreement on timing parameters prevents communication efficiency degradation while maintaining reliable capability understanding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If the terminal device dynamically changes capability based on hardware resource sharing, then the capability adapts to different communication card usage scenarios, but the bit error rate increases due to unclear capability effect time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecapability dynamic changeVSAvoidbit error rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining capability effect time and expiry time rules in the capability negotiation message. The terminal device and network device agree in advance on when the negotiated capability takes effect and when it expires, eliminating subsequent misunderstandings. This preliminary agreement on timing parameters prevents communication efficiency degradation while maintaining reliable capability understanding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback by having the network device send back capability confirmation messages that include the agreed effect time and expiry time. This feedback loop ensures both terminal and network devices have consistent understanding of the capability validity period, preventing bit error rates from increasing due to timing mismatches while allowing dynamic capability changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Device complexity

If no capability effect time agreement is made, then the negotiation process is simpler, but unnecessary data retransmission occurs due to capability understanding mismatch

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenegotiation process complexityVSAvoiddata retransmission time
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining capability effect time and expiry time rules in the capability negotiation message. The terminal device and network device agree in advance on when the negotiated capability takes effect and when it expires, eliminating subsequent misunderstandings. This preliminary agreement on timing parameters prevents communication efficiency degradation while maintaining reliable capability understanding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A method for wireless communication, a terminal device, and a network device are provided. The method includes the following. A terminal device sends a first message to a network device, where the first message is used for negotiation of a first capability of the terminal device, and the first capability is associated with a first rule. The terminal device determines an effect time or an expiry time of the first capability based on the first rule.
