Communication Data Collection Structure for Cross-Domain Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data collection methods in communication systems lack flexibility and extensibility, requiring separate definitions for different functional scenarios and leading to increased standardization efforts and restricted data sharing across domains.
Innovation Solution
A communication method involving a first device transmitting and a second device receiving information that includes data type identification, format indication, length indication, and other indicators to facilitate unified data collection procedures across various scenarios, enhancing flexibility and extensibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate definitions are used for different functional scenarios in data collection, then each scenario can be precisely defined, but the system complexity increases and extensibility decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent defines a universal data collection procedure with a standardized information structure that can be applied across multiple functional scenarios (energy saving, positioning, mobility management, etc.). The first device transmits information containing value field information, format indication information, and length indication information according to a unified format, allowing the same procedure to serve different purposes without requiring separate definitions for each scenario.
Solution Approach 2:
The information transmitted by the first device is segmented into distinct components: value field information (actual data), format indication information (data type identification), and length indication information (field length). This segmentation allows flexible interpretation and processing of different data types within a unified framework, maintaining precision while reducing overall system complexity.
2Reliability
If separate definitions are created for each functional scenario, then scenario-specific requirements are met, but data sharing across domains becomes restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The standardized information structure enables the same data collection procedure to be used across different functional scenarios and domains. The second device can interpret the transmitted information according to predefined rules, allowing data collected for one purpose (e.g., energy saving) to be potentially reused for other purposes (e.g., positioning or mobility management) without requiring separate collection procedures.
3Measurement precision
If detailed format indication information is transmitted for each data field, then data interpretation accuracy improves, but information overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
Format indication information and length indication information are provided selectively for specific fields within the value field information. Rather than transmitting comprehensive format data for all possible fields, the patent provides interpretation guidance only where needed, reducing overall overhead while maintaining accuracy for the actual data being transmitted.
Data Source
AI summary
A communication method, a first device and a second device are provided. The method includes that a first device transmits first information to a second device. The first information includes value field information or information field information corresponding to collected data information. The first information is associated with second information including at least one of: data type identifier, format/length indication information corresponding to the value field information or the information field information; first indication information for indicating whether current type of data is last single-type data in a data sample in the collected data information; second indication information for indicating whether current single-type data contained in the data sample in the collected data information appears; quantity indication information of data samples in the collected data information; indication information of whether a current data sample is a last data sample in the collected data information; or data collection task identifier.
