Solution Overview

Problem

The challenge of reducing initial delay time in transmitting large avatar models over 5G networks, which can significantly degrade Quality of Service (QoS) compared to video calls, is addressed by dividing the avatar model into multiple data types and configuring a manifest to facilitate step-by-step transmission based on network availability and user interaction.

Innovation Solution

The avatar model is divided into types such as mesh, texture, and skeleton, with a manifest detailing alternative and supplementary relationships between these data types, allowing selective reception and display at varying resolutions and densities, and using transmission hints to generate SDP offers for each step, enabling efficient data transmission over 5G networks.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the avatar model is transmitted as a complete large-sized file, then the avatar representation is complete and high-quality, but the initial delay time increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveavatar representation qualityVSAvoidinitial delay time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The avatar model is divided into multiple independent data types including mesh data, texture data, skeleton data, and animation data. Each data type is transmitted separately through different channels, allowing the receiver to progressively reconstruct the avatar model as data arrives, thereby reducing initial delay while maintaining complete representation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The manifest file is prepared in advance containing metadata about all avatar model components, their relationships, and transmission priorities. This preliminary structure enables the receiving terminal to efficiently process and assemble avatar data as it arrives, reducing assembly time and initial delay without compromising representation quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If high-resolution avatar data is transmitted, then the avatar representation quality is high, but the data transmission time and network bandwidth consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveavatar resolution qualityVSAvoiddata transmission time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the transmission and rendering of avatar data based on network conditions and user needs. The manifest file contains alternative data specifications allowing the receiver to select appropriate resolution levels for different avatar components, enabling high quality representation when bandwidth is available while reducing transmission time when bandwidth is limited

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

Different parts of the avatar model are transmitted and rendered with different quality levels based on their importance and visual impact. Critical components like mesh structure receive higher priority and higher resolution, while less critical components use lower resolution, optimizing the balance between representation quality and transmission time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
