Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication systems face challenges in efficiently managing resource usage during data packet transmission in the user plane protocol stack of 5G mobile communication systems, leading to resource wastage.

Innovation Solution

A data processing method that involves obtaining a data unit, detecting the packet loss status of the set it belongs to, and discarding the set when the packet loss status meets a certain condition, thereby reducing resource wastage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If data packets are transmitted through the user plane protocol stack without packet loss detection, then data transmission completeness is maintained, but air interface resources and transmission energy are wasted due to processing and transmitting unavailable data sets

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission energyVSAvoiddata transmission completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by detecting packet loss status before the data set becomes completely unavailable. The communication apparatus monitors packet transmission status and identifies packet loss conditions in advance, allowing the system to discard the data set proactively before all packets are lost. This prevents waste of air interface resources and transmission energy that would occur if the apparatus continued processing already unavailable data sets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If packet loss detection and discarding mechanisms are implemented, then resource wastage is reduced, but system complexity increases due to additional detection and decision processes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilization efficiencyVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service by enabling the communication apparatus to autonomously monitor its own packet transmission status and make discard decisions without external intervention. The apparatus maintains packet loss status information, automatically detects when packet loss meets discard conditions, and independently discards unavailable data sets. This self-service mechanism improves resource utilization efficiency while avoiding the complexity of external control systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Loss of energy

If all data packets are processed and transmitted regardless of loss status, then data transmission reliability is maintained, but air interface resources are wasted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveair interface resource consumptionVSAvoiddata packet delivery
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies feedback by continuously monitoring packet transmission status and using this information to control data set discarding. The communication apparatus receives feedback about packet loss conditions, processes this information to determine whether discard conditions are met, and adjusts its transmission behavior accordingly. This feedback mechanism allows the system to stop transmitting data sets that are likely to be lost, reducing air interface resource consumption while maintaining appropriate data delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Example data processing methods and example apparatuses are provided. One example method includes obtaining a first data unit. A packet loss status of a first set to which the first data unit belongs is detected. The first set is discarded when the packet loss status of the first set satisfies a first condition.
