Conditional QoS Configuration for Changing Mobile Radio Communication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies face challenges in providing Quality of Service (QoS) assurance in radio networks due to changes in communication environments, such as out-of-service areas, making it difficult to implement Network as a Service (NaaS) and control QoS across the entire network.
Innovation Solution
A communication device with a control unit that determines QoS configuration based on specific conditions and a communication unit that executes radio communications with or without QoS depending on these conditions, ensuring QoS is provided when required.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If QoS control is introduced in radio network according to related art, then QoS provision is improved, but adaptability to communication environment changes deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making QoS configuration conditional rather than static. The control unit dynamically determines whether to configure QoS based on evaluated conditions (such as communication environment state, service type, terminal capability), allowing the system to adapt QoS provisioning to changing radio network conditions while maintaining reliability where appropriate.
2Reliability
If QoS is configured for all conditions, then QoS reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by selectively configuring QoS only for specific conditions rather than uniformly across all scenarios. The control unit evaluates multiple conditions (communication environment, service type, terminal capability) and configures QoS locally only where needed, reducing overall control complexity while maintaining QoS reliability for critical services and conditions.
3Reliability
If QoS control is implemented throughout the network, then bandwidth assurance is improved, but network complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing QoS control into conditional segments rather than implementing a monolithic network-wide QoS system. The base station's control unit segments QoS provisioning based on evaluated conditions (service type, terminal capability, communication state), implementing bandwidth assurance only for segments that meet specific criteria, thereby reducing overall network control complexity.

AI summary
A communication device includes a control unit that determines whether Quality of Service (QoS) is not to be configured for each of one or more conditions for determining a requirement that determines radio communication quality provided by the QoS or the requirement is to be configured for the QoS; and a communication unit that executes a radio communication in which QoS is not to be provided in a case where the control unit does not configure the QoS, and executes a radio communication in which QoS is to be provided in a case where the control unit configures the requirement for the QoS.
