Solution Overview

Problem

In wireless communication networks, existing technologies face inefficiencies in data packet transmission due to a single fixed uplink/downlink interval configuration, which is not optimal for varying data packet sizes and quality of service classes, leading to suboptimal acknowledgement periods and resource utilization.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that dynamically assign data packets to signal carrier spectrums with different uplink/downlink ratios and acknowledgement intervals based on packet size and quality of service class, subdividing the available spectrum into multiple carrier spectrums with the same uplink/downlink ratio but varying acknowledgement gaps to accommodate different data packet regions.

1Productivity

If a single fixed uplink/downlink interval configuration is used, then the system is simple to manage, but transmission efficiency deteriorates for varying data packet sizes and QoS classes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission efficiencyVSAvoidspectrum configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The available spectrum is divided into multiple signal carrier spectrums, each with different uplink/downlink ratios and acknowledgement intervals. This segmentation allows the system to handle different data packet sizes and QoS classes efficiently, with each carrier spectrum optimized for specific transmission scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically assigns data packets to appropriate signal carrier spectrums based on packet size and QoS class requirements. This dynamic assignment allows the system to adapt to varying transmission needs without requiring manual reconfiguration, maintaining simplicity while improving efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If a single acknowledgement interval is used for all packets, then the system is easier to implement, but resource utilization deteriorates for different packet sizes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilizationVSAvoidacknowledgement interval management
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Different signal carrier spectrums are assigned with different acknowledgement intervals tailored to specific packet sizes and QoS classes. Small packets use carriers with shorter acknowledgement intervals for quick confirmation, while large packets use carriers with longer intervals, optimizing resource utilization for each local transmission scenario.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the acknowledgement interval parameter based on the data packet characteristics and QoS requirements. By adjusting this parameter across different signal carrier spectrums, the system optimizes resource utilization without requiring complex per-packet negotiation, as the parameters are pre-configured.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple signal carrier spectrums with different configurations are used, then transmission optimization for different packet sizes is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different packet sizesVSAvoidspectrum assignment complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs dynamic assignment mechanisms that automatically select the appropriate signal carrier spectrum based on packet size and QoS class. This dynamic approach provides high adaptability to different transmission scenarios while keeping the assignment process automated and simple, avoiding manual configuration complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The network controller automatically determines the appropriate signal carrier spectrum for each data packet based on its size and QoS requirements. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for complex manual configuration or extensive negotiation between devices, as the system autonomously optimizes the transmission path for each packet.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
