1Reliability

If a sensing measurement setup termination message frame is not specifically defined, then the mechanism for sensing measurement setup termination is incomplete, but signaling overhead and power consumption are increased due to inefficient termination procedures

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesensing measurement setup termination mechanismVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The termination message frame is segmented into distinct fields including a measurement setup identifier field and a termination indication field. This segmentation allows for precise identification and termination of specific sensing measurement procedures while maintaining an organized and efficient message structure that reduces processing overhead and energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:

2Reliability

If a sensing measurement setup termination message frame is not specifically defined, then the mechanism for sensing measurement setup termination is incomplete, but signaling overhead is increased due to inefficient termination procedures

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesensing measurement setup termination mechanismVSAvoidsignaling overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The termination message frame merges the measurement setup identifier and termination indication into a single integrated message structure. This merging consolidates multiple pieces of information into one efficient transmission, reducing the number of separate signaling messages required and thereby decreasing signaling overhead while improving termination mechanism reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
