Solution Overview
Problem
The challenge in the communication field is the efficient transmission of Ethernet frames, particularly in New Radio (NR) systems, where existing methods do not effectively manage the compression and decompression of these frames, leading to resource inefficiencies.
Innovation Solution
A communication method and device that compresses Ethernet frames during transmission, using sub-protocol IDs to indicate compression objects and strategies, and includes network devices that send configuration information for compressing or decompressing frames, allowing for efficient resource utilization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If Ethernet frames are transmitted without compression, then transmission reliability is maintained, but transmission resources are inefficiently utilized
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by introducing compression parameters (compression object indication, compression strategy indication) to modify the Ethernet frame structure. The compression object indication specifies which parts of the frame to compress, while the compression strategy indication provides instructions on how to compress, thereby reducing transmission resource consumption while maintaining reliability through controlled compression.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses compression configuration information as an intermediary element between the transmitting and receiving devices. This configuration information includes compression object indication and compression strategy indication, which mediates the compression process to ensure both devices understand how to compress and decompress the frames correctly, maintaining transmission reliability.
2Reliability
If compression configuration information is added to Ethernet frames, then compression reliability is improved, but frame structure complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the compression configuration information into distinct fields: compression object indication and compression strategy indication. This segmentation allows the frame structure to organize compression parameters in a structured manner, improving reliability while managing complexity through clear field separation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by including compression configuration information in the frame before compression occurs. This preliminary configuration allows the receiving device to understand the compression method in advance, ensuring reliable decompression while the structured format keeps the complexity manageable.
3Ease of manufacture
If compression methods are standardized for all Ethernet frames, then implementation ease is improved, but adaptability to different frame types is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the compression configuration information adaptable to different frame types through the compression object indication field. This field can be configured differently for various Ethernet frame types, allowing a single standardized mechanism to handle multiple frame types dynamically, thereby maintaining implementation ease while achieving frame type adaptability.
