Solution Overview

Problem

Current telecommunication systems face challenges in determining optimal broadcast parameters for efficient communication, particularly in prioritizing and scheduling broadcast content to enhance user experience and resource utilization in wireless networks.

Innovation Solution

A method is introduced to determine broadcast parameters by assigning priority levels and timing to each broadcast content, ranking them based on these factors, and instructing a scheduler to schedule the content accordingly, ensuring efficient resource allocation and user experience enhancement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If broadcast content is transmitted without prioritization, then all content receives equal resource allocation, but system efficiency and user experience deteriorate due to lack of optimization

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem efficiencyVSAvoidbroadcast parameter determination complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by determining priority levels and timing for broadcast content before actual transmission. The network node ranks broadcast content based on priority levels and timing requirements in advance, preparing scheduling decisions before resources are allocated, which improves system efficiency without adding operational complexity during transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes parameters by introducing priority levels and timing attributes to broadcast content. These parameter changes enable the system to differentiate and optimize resource allocation for different content types, transforming uniform broadcast transmission into prioritized, efficient resource distribution while maintaining manageable system complexity through structured parameterization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Use of energy by moving object

If multiple broadcast content are transmitted simultaneously, then resource utilization improves, but user experience deteriorates due to resource conflicts and interference

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilizationVSAvoidbroadcast transmission reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments broadcast content into distinct priority levels and timing categories. By dividing content into high-priority, medium-priority, and low-priority groups with specific timing requirements, the network can allocate resources to each segment appropriately, allowing multiple content transmissions while preventing resource conflicts through structured segmentation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention introduces dynamic resource allocation based on priority levels and timing. The network node dynamically adjusts resource distribution for simultaneous broadcast content according to their priority rankings, enabling flexible resource utilization while maintaining transmission reliability through adaptive scheduling that responds to changing content requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If broadcast parameters are determined without prioritization, then system complexity remains low, but user experience deteriorates due to inefficient resource allocation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidbroadcast scheduling complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary ranking and priority assignment for broadcast content before transmission scheduling. By determining priority levels and timing requirements in advance, the network prepares optimized scheduling decisions that enhance user experience, while the preliminary nature of this action keeps operational complexity manageable during actual broadcast execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The invention introduces parameter changes by assigning priority levels and timing attributes to broadcast content. These structured parameter changes enable efficient resource allocation that improves user experience, while the systematic parameterization maintains scheduling complexity at acceptable levels through organized, rule-based prioritization rather than ad-hoc decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Systems and methods are described for determining broadcast parameters for a transmission. A plurality of broadcast content that comprise a priority level may be received, where each of the plurality of broadcast content may also comprise a timing for broadcasting. For each of the plurality of broadcast content, a number of nodes for broadcasting may be determined based on the priority level and the timing for broadcasting. The plurality of broadcast content may also be ranked based on the timing for broadcasting and the number of nodes for broadcasting. At least one scheduler may be instructed to schedule the plurality of content for broadcasting based on the ranking and the priority level for each of the plurality of broadcast content.
