Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems lack efficient methods for power status reporting and optimized service configuration in wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs), leading to suboptimal resource allocation and battery management in multi-modal data environments.

Innovation Solution

Implementing power reporting policies that include triggers for sending power status reports based on battery level, temperature, bitrate, and application status, allowing WTRUs to send reports according to specific criteria and update network policies accordingly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If power status reporting is implemented frequently and continuously to monitor WTRU state, then power management accuracy is improved, but battery consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower status monitoring accuracyVSAvoidbattery consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the reporting frequency and triggers based on current power status conditions. Instead of continuous fixed-frequency reporting, the WTRU adapts its reporting behavior according to battery level, temperature, and activity state, sending reports only when predefined triggers are satisfied (e.g., battery threshold crossed, temperature change detected, application start/stop).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements periodic power status reporting with configurable intervals and multiple trigger types. The network can specify different reporting periods for different conditions, and the WTRU alternates between reporting modes based on whether triggers are satisfied, combining periodic checks with event-driven reporting to balance monitoring accuracy and energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

2Adaptability or versatility

If detailed power status information is collected and reported, then power management control is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower management controlVSAvoidreporting mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The power status reporting mechanism is segmented into multiple independent trigger types (battery level triggers, temperature triggers, application start/stop triggers, unplugged status triggers). Each trigger type can be independently configured and activated. The network can select and configure only the triggers relevant to specific services, reducing unnecessary complexity while maintaining comprehensive control capability where needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The power reporting policy framework is designed as a universal mechanism that can serve multiple purposes and services. The same infrastructure supports different trigger types, reporting formats, and service requirements through configurable parameters. This multi-functional design allows a single complex system to handle diverse power management scenarios without requiring separate mechanisms for each case.

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

3Reliability

If power reporting policies are configured for XRM services to maintain high quality, then user experience is improved, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experience qualityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes operational parameters (reporting frequency, trigger thresholds, monitoring intensity) based on power status conditions and service requirements. For XRM services, the network can configure specific parameters that balance quality requirements with power constraints, adjusting these parameters dynamically as battery level and temperature change, rather than maintaining fixed high-quality settings that would consume excessive power.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may receive a power reporting policy from a network node. The power reporting policy may include one or more triggers associated with sending a power status report. The WTRU may determine that a trigger of the one or more triggers associated with sending the power status report has been satisfied. The WTRU may send the power status report to the network node in accordance with the power reporting policy. The power status report may include power status information associated with the WTRU and/or an indication that indicates the determined trigger to send the power status report.
