Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless networks struggle to meet the transmission requirements of emerging services like augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and 5th generation media streaming (5GMS), which negatively impacts user experience.

Innovation Solution

A measurement method and apparatus that involves a first access network device sending an application layer measurement configuration to a terminal device, indicating it to perform quality of experience measurement and collection on emerging services like AR, VR, or 5GMS. The terminal device then reports the measurement results back to the access network device, allowing for network optimization based on the quality of experience indicators.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the wireless network transmits emerging services (AR, VR, 5GMS), then the service coverage and functionality are improved, but the transmission quality and user experience deteriorate due to inability to meet specific transmission requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice coverageVSAvoidtransmission quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting network parameters based on service type. The access network device determines transmission parameters (such as bandwidth, latency requirements, packet loss thresholds) according to the specific service type (AR, VR, 5GMS) and optimizes network resource allocation to meet the unique transmission requirements of each service, thereby improving transmission quality while maintaining service coverage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the network optimization process into distinct stages: service type identification, transmission requirement determination, parameter configuration, and performance measurement. By dividing the complex transmission optimization into manageable segments, the system can effectively handle multiple emerging services with different requirements simultaneously, resolving the contradiction between broad service coverage and specialized transmission quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If the network optimizes transmission for specific services, then the user experience is improved, but the measurement and optimization complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidmeasurement complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the terminal device measures application layer performance metrics (such as service quality indicators, user experience parameters) and reports them to the access network device. The network device uses this feedback to continuously optimize transmission parameters, creating a closed-loop system that improves user experience while automating the measurement and optimization process to manage complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary measurement and reporting mechanism between the terminal device and the access network device. The terminal device acts as an intermediary that collects performance data from multiple emerging services and translates them into standardized measurement reports, simplifying the overall measurement complexity while enabling comprehensive user experience optimization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
