Base Station Resource Reallocation for Priority Service Continuity

Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication technologies cause long-term service interruptions when high-priority services preempt resources from low-priority services, as they do not specify resource allocation methods for concurrent services with different latency and rate requirements, leading to prolonged disruptions.

Innovation Solution

A resource allocation method where a base station allocates reserved resources from a low-priority service to a high-priority service and switches the low-priority service to different target resources, ensuring continuous operation without interrupting the low-priority service.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If the base station preempts resources of a low-priority service to allocate to a high-priority service, then the high-priority service can be served timely, but the low-priority service experiences long-term interruption

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveservice response speedVSAvoidservice continuity

Core Design Contradiction:

SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The resource pool is segmented into dedicated resources and shared resources. Dedicated resources are reserved for specific services to ensure their continuous operation, while shared resources can be dynamically allocated. This segmentation allows low-priority services to maintain dedicated resources for continuity while high-priority services can access shared resources when needed, resolving the contradiction between rapid response and service continuity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary allocation of dedicated resources to low-priority services before any preemption occurs. By pre-reserving resources for low-priority services, the system ensures they have guaranteed resources for continuous operation while still allowing high-priority services to preempt from the shared resource pool, thus preventing long-term interruptions.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If the base station allocates resources dynamically based on priority, then resource utilization efficiency improves, but service interruption time increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveresource utilization efficiencyVSAvoidservice interruption time

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements dynamic resource allocation where the proportion of shared resources can be adjusted based on network conditions and service requirements. This dynamic mechanism allows the system to optimize resource utilization efficiency while controlling service interruption time by flexibly allocating resources between dedicated and shared pools according to real-time priorities.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of resource allocation by introducing dedicated resources with guaranteed allocation for low-priority services. This parameter change ensures that while dynamic allocation improves overall efficiency, low-priority services maintain stable resource access through dedicated allocations, thereby reducing service interruption time.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

3Quantity of substance

If the base station preempts all resources from a low-priority service for a high-priority service, then the high-priority service gets sufficient resources, but the low-priority service cannot resume quickly

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveresource quantityVSAvoidservice resumption time

Core Design Contradiction:

Quantity of substanceVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting resources into dedicated and shared portions, the system ensures that low-priority services retain dedicated resources that are not subject to preemption. This segmentation allows high-priority services to obtain sufficient resources from the shared pool while low-priority services can quickly resume using their protected dedicated resources, thus reducing resumption time.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides beforehand cushioning by allocating dedicated resources to low-priority services as a protective buffer against complete resource preemption. This cushioning mechanism ensures that even when high-priority services need resources, low-priority services have reserved resources to quickly resume operations, preventing prolonged service disruption.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

AI summary

Provided are a resource allocation method, a base station, and a non-transitory readable storage medium. The method includes operations as follows. In response to a first service preempting resources of a second service, reserved resources for the second service are allocated to the first service, where a priority of the first service is higher than a priority of the second service. The second service is switched to target resources, where the target resources are resources different from the reserved resources.
