Core Network BDT Policy Selection for Energy-Aware Data Transfer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing 5G communication systems lack the ability to select background data transfer policies that consider energy consumption and efficiency requirements, leading to inefficient data transfer.
Innovation Solution
A network function within the core network receives energy requirements from an external application and acquires a background data transfer policy that satisfies these requirements by utilizing analytics information from a network data analytics function, ensuring energy-efficient data transfer.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If background data transfer is performed without considering energy requirements, then data transfer can be executed flexibly, but energy consumption increases and efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting background data transfer policies based on energy requirements. The system receives energy requirements from applications and selects or creates BDT policies that satisfy these energy parameters, thereby optimizing the balance between energy consumption and data transfer efficiency through parameter-based policy selection
2Reliability
If existing BDT policies are used without energy consideration, then policy implementation is simple, but energy efficiency requirements cannot be satisfied
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism (the policy selection unit and energy requirement interface) that mediates between existing BDT policies and energy efficiency requirements. This intermediary layer enables the system to satisfy energy efficiency requirements without fundamentally redesigning the entire policy framework, thus maintaining reasonable complexity while improving reliability
Data Source
AI summary
An information processing method comprises a first network function (NF) within a core network executing: receiving, from a second NF, a provision request for a BDT policy to be utilized when background data transfer is performed, and an energy requirement that is a requirement regarding energy related to communication; and acquiring a BDT policy that satisfies the energy requirement.
