Data Multiplexing Device Prioritizing Physical Layer Resources
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In next-generation wireless communication systems, ensuring consistent resource usage by user equipment for multiple service types is challenging due to the lack of determination of physical layer resources for multiplexing data across different logical channels, which can lead to inconsistencies with network device scheduling intentions.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that determine physical layer resources for multiplexing data based on priorities of the resources supported by logical channels, allowing user equipment to align resource usage with network device scheduling by selecting resources according to configured or predefined priorities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple physical layer resources are simultaneously scheduled for different service types, then the system can support diverse service demands (eMBB, URLLC, mMTC), but the user equipment cannot ensure consistent resource usage with network device scheduling intentions
Solution Approach 1:
The network device pre-configures priority relationships between multiple physical layer resources before data transmission occurs. This preliminary configuration enables the user equipment to autonomously select appropriate resources based on service requirements without real-time network intervention, ensuring consistent resource usage while supporting multiple service types simultaneously
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements dynamic resource selection where the user equipment can flexibly choose among multiple configured physical layer resources based on current service demands and priority configurations. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to maintain reliability through consistent resource usage patterns while preserving adaptability to varying service requirements
2Productivity
If physical layer resources are configured by network device or protocol for each logical channel, then resource allocation can be optimized for specific services, but the method for determining which resources to use from multiple available resources remains unspecified
Solution Approach 1:
The user equipment is empowered to autonomously determine and select appropriate physical layer resources from the set of configured resources based on pre-configured priority relationships. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for complex real-time scheduling decisions while maintaining optimized resource allocation, as the equipment independently applies the priority rules to select resources matching service requirements

AI summary
A data multiplexing apparatus and method and a communication system. The data multiplexing method includes: for a logical channel needing to be performed data multiplexing, determining one or more physical layer resources for multiplexing data from a plurality of physical layer resources supported by the logical channel according to priorities of the plurality of physical layer resources; and multiplexing the data of the logical channel onto the determined physical layer resources. Hence, when the user equipment has data of a plurality of service types needing to be transmitted, the use of the resources by the user equipment may be kept in consistence with the scheduling intention of the network device.
