Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If sensing and measurement data are transmitted separately through control plane and user plane, then data transmission reliability is maintained, but transmission efficiency and network flexibility deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines control plane data and user plane data into a single multiplexed data stream for transmission. The base station receives both types of data through unified reception processes and applies joint scheduling decisions, thereby improving transmission efficiency while maintaining necessary separation for processing through the use of data identifiers and separate handling in the lower layers.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal data transmission framework that can handle both control plane and user plane data through the same physical channel and processing infrastructure. The multiplexing mechanism allows the system to perform multiple functions (control signaling and user data transmission) through a unified interface, reducing overall system complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple radio access technologies are integrated, then network adaptability and versatility improve, but system complexity and coordination overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal data structure and transmission framework that works across multiple radio access technologies (NR, LTE, Wi-Fi). The unified data model, common signaling mechanisms, and standardized processing procedures enable the system to support diverse radio technologies without requiring separate complex coordination protocols for each technology.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments data transmission into distinct logical channels (control plane and user plane) with clear identification markers. This segmentation allows different radio access technologies to be integrated at the physical layer while maintaining clean separation of functions at higher layers, reducing cross-technology coordination complexity.
3Productivity
If control plane and user plane data are multiplexed together, then transmission resource utilization improves, but data separation and processing complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses data identifiers and type flags (analogous to color codes) to mark and distinguish control plane data from user plane data within the multiplexed stream. These identifiers enable receiving devices to quickly classify and separate data types without complex analysis, maintaining ease of detection and processing while achieving high resource utilization through multiplexing.

AI summary
Procedures, methods, architectures, apparatuses, systems, devices, and computer program products may be used to communicate with a wireless network. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may be configured to multiplex the transmission of measurement data, as control plane data, between the WTRU and a network entity via a first wireless path and the transmission of measurement data, as user plane data, between the WTRU and the network entity via a second wireless path. Switching to/from the second wireless path may be based on a state of the first wireless path, a state of the network, a state of the WTRU and/or an amount of measurement data to be communicated by the WTRU or which has been communicated by the WTRU.
