Solution Overview

Problem

In 5G mobile communication systems, there is a challenge in efficiently forwarding uplink or downlink transmission data and selecting a transmission path to reduce data transmission delay during cell or cell group selective activation.

Innovation Solution

A method for transmitting data forwarding information is implemented by a first node, which sends data forwarding information to a second node based on a predetermined trigger event, enabling fast data transmission through negotiation between network nodes and updating pre-configured cell or cell group configurations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If data forwarding information is transmitted during cell or cell group selective activation, then data transmission delay is reduced, but transmission path selection complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission delayVSAvoidtransmission path selection complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-configures multiple transmission paths and data forwarding information before activation is needed. When cell or cell group selective activation occurs, the pre-configured paths enable immediate data forwarding without real-time path computation, thus reducing transmission delay while avoiding complexity during critical moments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

A control node acts as an intermediary to manage transmission path selection and data forwarding information transmission. This intermediary handles the complexity of path selection centrally, allowing terminal devices to simply follow forwarding instructions, thereby reducing overall system complexity while enabling fast data transmission

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Speed

If multiple transmission paths are pre-configured for fast switching, then data transmission speed is improved, but system configuration complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission speedVSAvoidsystem configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple transmission paths are pre-configured and stored in the system before activation events occur. This preliminary configuration allows instantaneous path switching during activation without real-time computation, achieving fast data transmission while confining configuration complexity to setup phase rather than operation phase

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically selects among pre-configured transmission paths based on activation events and current network conditions. This dynamic selection capability allows the system to adapt to different scenarios using multiple paths while maintaining manageable configuration complexity through standardized selection criteria

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
