Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current DRX configurations in mobile communications are inadequate for supporting extended reality (XR) services due to non-integer cycle requirements, leading to inefficiencies in energy management and refined control for XR applications.
Innovation Solution
A DRX configuration method and apparatus that utilize a specific DRX configuration with a non-integer cycle, allowing for customized parameter settings such as DRX on duration timer, inactivity timer, and round-trip delay timers, enabling refined control and energy savings by distinguishing XR services from other services.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional integer cycle DRX configuration is used, then compatibility with existing systems is maintained, but XR services cannot achieve refined control and energy savings
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments DRX configuration into service-specific types: first DRX configuration for traditional services with integer cycles, and second DRX configuration for XR services with non-integer cycles. This segmentation allows each service type to use optimized parameters without affecting others, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic DRX configuration where the network can switch between first and second DRX configurations based on service requirements. The second configuration with non-integer cycles enables dynamic adaptation to XR service characteristics while maintaining backward compatibility through the first configuration for traditional services.
2Use of energy by moving object
If DRX configuration is optimized for XR services with non-integer cycles, then energy savings and refined control are achieved, but existing systems lack support for such configurations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by configuring different DRX parameters for different service types. XR services receive specialized second DRX configurations with non-integer cycles optimized for their specific characteristics (time jitter, variable packet size), while traditional services continue using conventional first DRX configurations with integer cycles.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes DRX parameters specifically for XR services by introducing non-integer cycle configurations (second DRX configuration) with customized parameters including on duration timer, inactivity timer, and round-trip delay timer, while maintaining original integer cycle parameters for traditional services.
3Measurement precision
If separate DRX configurations are introduced for different services, then refined control is achieved, but configuration and management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal DRX configuration framework where the network can select between first DRX configuration (for traditional services) and second DRX configuration (for XR services) based on service type indicators. This multi-functional approach allows a single system to handle both configuration types without requiring separate management mechanisms.
