Network-Assisted Data Processing for Terminal Latency Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
As data processing capabilities of terminals increase, high latency in data processing leads to user dissatisfaction due to increased data volumes, which existing technologies fail to adequately address by relying solely on terminal processing without leveraging network-side device resources effectively.
Innovation Solution
A method where a terminal determines if data needs to be processed by a network-side device, sends a connection request, and upon confirmation of the device's capability, sends the data for processing, thereby reducing terminal load and enhancing network-side device functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If data processing is performed solely by the terminal, then terminal autonomy is maintained, but data processing latency increases and terminal processing load increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a network-side device as an intermediary to assist the terminal in data processing. The terminal sends data to be processed to the network-side device, which then performs the processing and returns the result. This intermediary approach reduces the terminal's processing load and latency while maintaining system autonomy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the data processing function between the terminal and the network-side device. The terminal handles data transmission and result reception, while the network-side device handles the actual processing. This segmentation allows each component to focus on specific tasks, reducing overall system latency and terminal load.
2Loss of time
If terminal processing capability is not improved, then device cost is reduced, but data processing latency increases due to increased data volumes
Solution Approach 1:
The network-side device acts as an intermediary that handles large data volumes without requiring terminal processing capability improvements. The terminal simply transmits data and receives results, while the network-side device manages the processing of large data volumes, thus reducing latency without increasing terminal complexity or cost.
3Ease of operation
If network-side device is used for data processing, then terminal processing load is reduced, but connection establishment overhead is introduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by having the terminal determine in advance whether data needs to be processed by the network-side device before initiating connection establishment. This preliminary assessment avoids unnecessary connection setup overhead for data that can be processed locally, while still enabling network-side processing when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic decision-making at the terminal, where the system adaptively determines whether to use local or network-side processing based on current conditions. This dynamic approach optimizes the balance between connection overhead and processing load by selecting the appropriate processing path for each data item.
Data Source
AI summary
A method for processing data. The method includes: determining whether data to be processed needs to be processed by a network-side device; in response to determining that the data to be processed needs to be processed by the network-side device, sending a request for establishing a connection to the network-side device, wherein, the request carries a purpose of establishing a connection, the purpose is to request the network-side device to process the data to be processed; determining whether the network-side device is capable of processing the data to be processed based on feedback information sent by the network-side device; and in response to the network-side device being capable of processing the data to be processed, sending the data to be processed to the network-side device for processing after establishing a connection with the network-side device.
