Beta Offset Configuration for Concurrent eMBB and URLLC Services
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mechanisms for configuring beta offset values in wireless communication systems fail to optimize performance for concurrent support of both enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) and Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC) services, leading to suboptimal reliability and resource wastage.
Innovation Solution
Configuring multiple sets of beta offset values, with subsets specifically defined for HARQ-ACK and CSI feedback, and associating these with different service types based on transmission parameters and target block error rates, allowing dynamic signaling to indicate the appropriate set based on service type.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single set of beta offset values is configured for both eMBB and URLLC services, then device complexity is reduced, but reliability and performance optimization for concurrent services deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the single beta offset configuration into multiple service-specific beta offset value sets, where each set is optimized for specific service types (eMBB, URLLC). This allows different beta offset values to be applied to different services based on their requirements, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and service-specific optimization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by configuring different beta offset values for different service types within the same system. Each service type (eMBB, URLLC) receives customized beta offset values tailored to its specific reliability and latency requirements, rather than using a uniform configuration for all services.
2Reliability
If separate beta offset configurations are provided for different service types, then service-specific performance is improved, but device complexity and signaling overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal beta offset configuration structure that can serve multiple service types. The network device configures multiple beta offset value sets that can be dynamically selected based on service type, making the system adaptable to different services without requiring completely separate configuration mechanisms for each service.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic selection mechanisms where the network device can indicate which beta offset value set to use based on the service type. This dynamic approach allows the system to switch between different beta offset configurations as needed, providing service-specific optimization without permanent complex configurations for all possible services.
3Adaptability or versatility
If dynamic signaling is used to indicate beta offset sets, then adaptability to different service types is improved, but signaling overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by using compact dynamic signaling indicators that reference pre-configured beta offset value sets. Instead of transmitting complete beta offset configurations dynamically, the system uses concise indicators to point to previously configured sets, reducing signaling overhead while maintaining adaptability to different service types.
