Solution Overview

Problem

Existing QoS management systems struggle to unify QoS dimensions across multiple domains, leading to weak service capabilities and poor QoS guarantee in multi-domain network scenarios.

Innovation Solution

A digital twin-based QoS management and control method that generates project-level and domain-level QoS indicators, orchestrates tasks, and performs working chain orchestration to ensure comprehensive QoS across communication, perception, computing power, intelligence, and security domains.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If 5G traditional QoS mechanism uses domain-specific QoS indicators, then QoS characteristics in communication domain can be described, but QoS indicators cannot be shared in other non-communication domains

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveQoS indicator sharing capabilityVSAvoidQoS management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments QoS indicators into hierarchical levels: project-level indicators (overall QoS guarantee) and domain-level indicators (specific domain characteristics). This segmentation allows QoS indicators to be reused across domains while maintaining domain-specific precision, resolving the contradiction between versatility and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates universal QoS indicator templates that can be instantiated for different domains. Project-level QoS indicators serve multiple domains simultaneously, while domain-level indicators adapt to specific domain requirements. This multi-functionality enables QoS indicator sharing across communication, perception, computing, and other domains without increasing management complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If QoS dimensions of various domains are not unified, then domain-specific QoS characteristics can be maintained, but multi-domain comprehensive service QoS guarantee effect deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveQoS guarantee effectVSAvoidQoS dimension unification complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a nested QoS indicator structure where domain-level QoS indicators are nested within project-level QoS indicators. The project-level indicators provide the outer framework for overall QoS guarantee, while domain-level indicators are nested inside to handle specific domain characteristics. This nesting enables unified QoS management across domains while preserving domain-specific properties.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds a hierarchical dimension to QoS indicator management by introducing project-level and domain-level layers. This dimensional transformation allows QoS indicators to operate at multiple levels simultaneously, achieving both unified multi-domain QoS guarantee and domain-specific characteristic preservation without direct conflict.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Measurement precision

If digital twin-based QoS management performs indicator generation and orchestration, then QoS management accuracy improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveQoS management accuracyVSAvoiddigital twin system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates digital twin copies of QoS management functions, including QoS indicator generation twins and working chain orchestration twins. These virtual copies simulate and optimize QoS management processes before applying them to the physical system, improving accuracy while containing complexity within the virtual domain. The digital twin copies enable precise QoS management without proportionally increasing physical system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs QoS indicator generation and working chain orchestration in advance within the digital twin environment. By pre-calculating and optimizing QoS parameters before actual service deployment, the system achieves high management accuracy while reducing real-time computational complexity. The preliminary actions in the digital twin prepare optimized QoS configurations that can be directly applied to the physical system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a digital twin-based quality of service (QoS) management and control method, a digital twin construction device, and a computer readable medium. The QoS management and control method is applied to a QoS management and control twin and comprises: obtaining first QoS information; generating a project-level QoS indicator on the basis of the obtained first QoS information, wherein the project-level QoS indicator is used for guaranteeing the overall QoS of a service; generating a domain-level QoS indicator of a twin network element on the basis of the project-level QoS indicator; querying a task list stored in the twin network element to obtain a task satisfying the domain-level QoS indicator; according to the project-level QoS indicator, the domain-level QoS indicator and a query result of the task list, performing working chain arrangement on the obtained task; and generating second QoS information.
