Solution Overview

Problem

Current mobile communication systems face challenges in efficiently utilizing different communication channels of varying reliability for transmitting core and refinement data, leading to suboptimal performance and resource utilization.

Innovation Solution

The use of a combination of reliable and unreliable communication channels, where core data is transmitted over a reliable channel and refinement data over a less reliable channel, with a controller module managing data transmission based on channel quality indicators to enhance system efficiency and service quality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If only reliable communication channels are used for all data transmission, then transmission reliability is improved, but resource utilization deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission reliabilityVSAvoidresource utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The data is segmented into two categories: core data and refinement data. Core data is transmitted through reliable communication channels to ensure transmission reliability, while refinement data is transmitted through less reliable channels to improve resource utilization. This segmentation allows the system to optimize for both reliability and resource efficiency simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If multiple communication channels with different reliability are used, then resource utilization is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilizationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Different communication channels with different reliability characteristics are assigned to different types of data based on their specific requirements. Core data that requires high reliability is transmitted through reliable channels, while refinement data that can tolerate lower reliability is transmitted through less reliable channels. This local quality approach optimizes resource utilization while managing system complexity through targeted channel selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Productivity

If refinement data is transmitted over less reliable channels, then bandwidth efficiency is improved, but transmission reliability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebandwidth efficiencyVSAvoidtransmission reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The data stream is segmented into core data and refinement data components. Core data is transmitted over reliable communication channels to maintain transmission reliability, while refinement data is transmitted over less reliable channels to improve bandwidth efficiency. The receiver reconstructs the complete data by combining information from both channels, achieving overall system optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Embodiments provide apparatuses, methods and computer programs for mobile communication systems comprising base station and mobile transceivers. An apparatus for a base station transceiver (and/or a mobile transceiver) of a mobile communication system, comprises a transceiver module to communicate with the mobile transceiver (and/or base station transceiver) using first and second communication channels, wherein the first channel is more reliable than the second channel. The apparatus further comprises a controller module to control the transceiver module, and to provide a data service to the mobile transceiver (and/or base station transceiver). The data service comprises first and second data packets, wherein the first data packets comprise information related to core data of the data service, and wherein the second data packets comprise information related to optional refinement data for the data service. The first data packets use the first channel, and the second data packets use the second channel.
