Solution Overview

Problem

Existing mobile network services consume excessive power and radio link bandwidth due to the establishment of dedicated radio links for frequent updates in contact tables, leading to inefficient data transmission and high power consumption.

Innovation Solution

A method where a wireless communication network pages a mobile station via a paging channel during a paging period to read private information, followed by reading this information via a non-dedicated channel during a subsequent reading period, reducing the need for continuous dedicated radio link establishment and minimizing power and bandwidth usage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a dedicated radio link is established to transmit updated contact table data, then the mobile user can receive real-time private information, but the power consumption and radio link bandwidth consumption increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time information deliveryVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the private information delivery with the existing paging mechanism. Instead of establishing a separate dedicated radio link for contact table updates, the system merges this function with the periodic paging channel that mobile stations already use to check for incoming calls and messages. This integration allows private information to be delivered reliably while utilizing existing infrastructure and reducing additional power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The paging channel is made multi-functional by using it not only for its traditional purpose of notifying mobile users of incoming communications but also for delivering private information such as contact table updates. This universal approach allows a single channel to serve multiple functions, eliminating the need for dedicated resources and reducing overall system power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If a dedicated radio link is established for each contact table update, then the private information can be transmitted reliably, but the radio link bandwidth consumption increases due to repeated link establishment procedures

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission reliabilityVSAvoidradio link bandwidth consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges private information delivery with the existing paging channel infrastructure. By combining these functions, the system eliminates the need to establish separate dedicated radio links for each update, thereby reducing the bandwidth consumed by repeated link establishment procedures while maintaining reliable information delivery through the standardized paging mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses periodic paging cycles to deliver private information. Instead of establishing dedicated links on-demand for each update, the mobile station wakes up at regular paging intervals to check for information. This periodic approach reduces the frequency of radio link establishment and release procedures, thereby reducing overall bandwidth consumption while ensuring timely delivery of updates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Speed

If the dedicated radio link establishment procedure is performed frequently for contact table updates, then the mobile user receives timely information, but the user equipment performance deteriorates due to high power consumption

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation update speedVSAvoiduser equipment performance
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines private information delivery with the existing periodic paging mechanism. This integration allows the mobile station to receive contact table updates at the regular paging intervals without needing to perform additional dedicated link establishment procedures. As a result, information update speed is maintained while user equipment performance is preserved by avoiding the high power consumption associated with frequent dedicated link setup.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system leverages the periodic nature of paging cycles to deliver private information efficiently. Mobile stations wake up at predetermined paging intervals to check for updates, ensuring timely information delivery without the need for continuous or frequent dedicated link establishment. This periodic approach maintains update speed while significantly reducing power consumption and improving overall user equipment performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

AI summary

A method for providing a private information to a mobile user and an associated wireless communication network and mobile station are provided to reduce the consumption of power and radio link bandwidth for transmission of the private information. The method, used in the wireless communication network, comprises paging a mobile station of the mobile user via a paging channel during a paging period to read the private information, and reading the private information by the mobile station via a non-dedicated channel during a reading period after the paging period.
