Dynamic Resource Assignment Policy for Multiparty Sessions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication systems lack flexibility in managing communication resource assignment for group users, leading to unsatisfactory service experiences and limitations in service development, as they primarily rely on preemption mechanisms that do not adapt to user demands.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for dynamically determining and modifying communication resource assignment policies based on user requests during session setup and modification, using a centralized session control unit and media processing unit to assign resources according to specified policies, allowing for flexible management of communication resources.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the communication system uses a preemption mechanism for resource assignment in group conversations, then the system can manage communication resources for multiple users, but the service experience becomes unsatisfactory and the system lacks flexibility to adapt to different user demands
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic resource assignment policies that can be modified during service operation. The policy modification mechanism allows the system to adapt resource assignment strategies based on changing user demands and service conditions, transforming the static preemption mechanism into a dynamic, flexible system that maintains service quality while improving adaptability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameters of resource assignment by introducing multiple assignable parameters (such as time slots, frequency resources, power levels) instead of simple preemption. This allows flexible adjustment of resource distribution while maintaining reliable service quality through controlled parameter modification
2Productivity
If the system assigns communication resources to the first user who requests the right to talk, then the resource assignment is simple and fast, but other users cannot talk and the service experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments communication resources into multiple dimensions (time, frequency, spatial, power) and assigns different segments to different users based on policy rules. This allows multiple users to communicate simultaneously with satisfactory quality while maintaining efficient resource utilization through structured segmentation
3Adaptability or versatility
If the communication system uses manual switching for video transmission in conference services, then the system can manage video resources, but the resource assignment lacks flexibility and cannot adapt to user demands
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a policy management function as an intermediary between user demands and resource assignment execution. This mediator automatically processes resource assignment decisions based on configurable policies, providing flexible adaptation to different service scenarios without increasing operational complexity for users

AI summary
A method for managing communication resource assignment includes: determining a resource assignment policy based on information for requesting resource assignment policy in a session setup request for a multiparty communication service from a User Equipment, and assigning, according to the resource assignment policy, communication resources; A method for managing communication resource assignment includes: modifying a resource assignment policy based on information for requesting resource assignment policy in a session modification request for modifying a resource assignment policy and assigning, according to the modified resource assignment policy, the communication resources. A communication resource policy system is also provided. With the method and system above, the communication resources of multiparty communication services can be managed flexibly according to the resource assignment policies.
