Information Processing Apparatus for Cellular QoS Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In cellular communication systems, the limited packet amount available to users can lead to restricted transmission rates or service interruptions during live distribution services, significantly degrading user convenience.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that requests a cellular communication system to activate communication lines for multiple terminal devices, assigns them to groups based on the service provided, and determines resources such as bandwidth to ensure that the packet amount does not exceed the limit, thereby controlling Quality of Service (QoS) to prevent service disruptions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the available packet amount is limited in advance by a contract, then the cellular communication system can control resource usage and charging, but the transmission rate may be restricted or service may be stopped during live distribution, degrading user convenience
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by activating communication lines and allocating resources before the service starts. The control unit requests the cellular communication system to activate communication lines and secure resources in advance, ensuring that when the service begins, sufficient packet amount is already available to maintain transmission quality without interruption.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts resource allocation based on service requirements. The control unit determines resources to be allocated when the service is started to be provided, and requests the cellular communication system to secure the resource, allowing flexible adaptation to actual service demand while managing packet amount within contractual limits.
2Quantity of substance
If the transmission rate is restricted when packet amount is limited, then resource usage is controlled within contract limits, but user convenience is significantly degraded
Solution Approach 1:
The system secures sufficient packet amount in advance by requesting the cellular communication system to activate communication lines and allocate resources before service commencement. This preliminary resource preparation ensures that transmission rate restrictions are avoided during service delivery, maintaining user convenience while still operating within contractual packet amount limits.
3Reliability
If the service is stopped when packet amount is exceeded, then resource management is enforced, but user convenience is significantly degraded
Solution Approach 1:
The system prevents service interruption by performing preliminary resource allocation. The control unit determines resources to be allocated when service is started and requests the cellular communication system to secure the resource in advance, ensuring sufficient packet amount is available throughout the service period, thus maintaining both resource management control and continuous service delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
The system monitors service provision and resource consumption, and adjusts resource allocation accordingly. The control unit continuously manages resource allocation based on service requirements, ensuring that packet amount limits are respected while maintaining service continuity through dynamic adjustment of allocated resources.
