Solution Overview

Problem

Current LTE data transmission methods for M2M communications require extensive signaling interactions for link synchronization, leading to low efficiency and significant delays, especially when handling small data packets from multiple devices.

Innovation Solution

A data transmission method that involves acquiring and using time-frequency resources and interleaver information to select a time synchronization code and interleaver for data, allowing for interleaving processing without initial link synchronization, thereby reducing signaling overheads and improving efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If link establishment and synchronization are performed before data transmission in LTE M2M communications, then reliable data transmission is ensured, but signaling overhead increases and transmission delay increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission reliabilityVSAvoidtransmission delay
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing synchronization between devices before actual data transmission is needed. Devices perform synchronization procedures in advance, storing synchronization state information, so that when small data packets need to be transmitted, the synchronization is already in place and no additional signaling is required at transmission time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts the synchronization procedure from the data transmission process. By separating synchronization as an independent preliminary step, the patent eliminates the requirement for signaling interactions during actual data transmission, allowing devices to transmit data immediately without re-establishing links.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the communication process into distinct phases: a preliminary synchronization phase where devices establish and store synchronization state information, and a data transmission phase where data is sent using the pre-established synchronization. This segmentation allows small data packets to be transmitted efficiently without repeating the full connection establishment process.

Inventive Principle:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing synchronization between devices before actual data transmission is needed. Devices perform synchronization procedures in advance, storing synchronization state information, so that when small data packets need to be transmitted, the synchronization is already in place and no additional signaling is required at transmission time.
