Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional interphone systems face challenges in avoiding air interface conflicts during data uploading, especially when the service load is high, leading to unreliable channel usage and reduced success rates of services.

Innovation Solution

A data transmission method where a base station issues timing parameters, and terminals determine their data upload time based on these parameters, ensuring that each terminal's upload time does not conflict with others, thus avoiding air interface conflicts.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If terminals use random back-off mode to alternately use the channel, then the system is simple to operate, but air interface conflicts occur when service load is large

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveterminal operation simplicityVSAvoidchannel transmission reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The base station performs preliminary action by issuing timing parameters in advance before terminals need to transmit data. These timing parameters are calculated and distributed to terminals beforehand, allowing terminals to determine their exact transmission timing without random back-off, thereby preventing air interface conflicts while maintaining operational simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If terminals spontaneously preempt the channel by monitoring usage conditions, then terminals can initiate services asynchronously, but air interface conflicts occur during transmission

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice initiation flexibilityVSAvoidchannel transmission reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The base station issues timing parameters in advance that specify exact transmission timing for each terminal. This preliminary timing arrangement allows terminals to maintain asynchronous service initiation flexibility while avoiding conflicts, as each terminal knows its precise transmission slot beforehand rather than attempting to preempt the channel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The base station provides feedback in the form of timing parameters to each terminal, allowing terminals to adjust their transmission timing based on system-wide timing information. This feedback mechanism enables reliable channel access while maintaining the ability for terminals to initiate services at appropriate times without causing conflicts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If terminals report data periodically to satisfy real-time information requirements, then data updating efficiency improves, but air interface conflicts increase with large numbers of terminals

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata updating efficiencyVSAvoiddata transmission success rate
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The base station calculates and issues timing parameters in advance for each terminal's periodic data reporting. These parameters ensure that when terminals transmit their periodic updates, they do so at predetermined non-overlapping times, allowing high data updating efficiency with large numbers of terminals without causing air interface conflicts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

The present application discloses a data transmission method, and relates to the field of communications. The method includes: receiving, by a terminal, a timing indication message issued by a base station, where the timing indication message includes timing parameters used for terminal data uploading; determining data upload time of the terminal on the basis of the timing parameters; and uploading data by using the data upload time. According to the method, a base station issues timing parameters, and a terminal determines data upload time by taking the timing parameters as a reference and uploads data; because timing parameters are uniformly allocated by the base station, each terminal can obtain upload time not conflicting with that of other terminals, and thus the problem of channel air interface conflict is avoided.
