Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current transmission services face disruptions when user equipment moves from one base station coverage to another, as existing methods do not adequately adjust between unicast and broadcast modes, leading to potential bandwidth insufficiencies and service interruptions.
Innovation Solution
A method and service center system that monitor user equipment handovers between base stations and adjust the transmission bearer from unicast to broadcast or vice versa based on available network coverage, ensuring continuous service by accessing consumption reports and user identification information to manage the switch to an appropriate bearer.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If unicast mode is used to provide transmission service to multiple user equipments simultaneously, then each user equipment can receive dedicated transmission, but network bandwidth is insufficient and data transmission congestion occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic switching between unicast and broadcast modes based on real-time network conditions and user equipment locations. The service center monitors handover events and adjusts the transmission mode dynamically, transitioning from static to adaptive resource allocation to optimize bandwidth utilization while maintaining service reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the transmission mode parameter (from unicast to broadcast or vice versa) based on handover events and network capacity. By adjusting this key parameter dynamically, the system adapts to varying network conditions and user distribution, resolving the bandwidth insufficiency problem while maintaining service continuity.
2Productivity
If broadcast mode is used to provide transmission service, then wireless resource usage efficiency is improved and unlimited user equipments can receive content, but transmission service is not provided at places with less user needs
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts transmission mode based on real-time monitoring of user equipment handovers and distribution. When user density is high, broadcast mode is activated for efficiency; when user density is low, unicast mode is used for coverage. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction between resource efficiency and service coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different transmission modes to different geographical areas based on local user density and needs. Broadcast mode is applied in areas with high user concentration, while unicast mode is applied in areas with scattered users. This localized approach optimizes resource usage efficiency in high-density areas while maintaining service coverage in low-density areas.
3Device complexity
If transmission mode is not adjusted when user equipment leaves broadcast service range and enters unicast service range, then service configuration remains simple, but user equipment cannot continuously receive transmission service
Solution Approach 1:
The service center implements a feedback mechanism by monitoring handover events and consumption reports from user equipment. When a handover is detected, the service center receives feedback and automatically adjusts the transmission mode accordingly. This feedback-driven approach maintains service continuity without requiring complex manual configuration, as the system self-adjusts based on real-time conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by automatically detecting handover events and adjusting transmission modes without external intervention. The service center monitors consumption reports and handover notifications, then autonomously switches between unicast and broadcast modes, eliminating the need for complex manual service configuration while ensuring continuous service delivery.
4Device complexity
If transmission mode is not adjusted when user equipment leaves unicast service range and enters broadcast service range, then service configuration remains simple, but bandwidth of the base station becomes insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The service center monitors handover events and consumption reports in real-time, receiving feedback when user equipment transitions from unicast to broadcast coverage areas. Based on this feedback, the system automatically adjusts the transmission mode to broadcast, optimizing bandwidth utilization. This feedback mechanism maintains simple service configuration while preventing bandwidth insufficiency through automatic adaptation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the transmission mode parameter automatically in response to handover events. When user equipment enters a broadcast service area, the parameter switches from unicast to broadcast mode, enabling efficient bandwidth utilization. This dynamic parameter change resolves the bandwidth insufficiency problem while keeping service configuration simple through automated adjustment.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a method of maintaining the continuity of a transmission service and a service center. The method includes: receiving a consumption report from a user equipment, wherein the user equipment receives a first transmission service through a first bearer; in response to receiving a specific request, obtaining user identification information of the user equipment from the specific request; accessing the consumption report corresponding to the user equipment based on the user identification information, and obtaining first service information of the first transmission service from the consumption report; and controlling the user equipment to switch to use a second bearer to receive a second transmission service according to the first service information, wherein the first bearer is one of a unicast bearer and a broadcast bearer, and the second bearer is another of the unicast bearer and the broadcast bearer.
