Paired Processing Resource Allocation for Low-Latency O-RAN
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing remote desktop protocols do not provide a native feel for users and limit input operations, making remote computer interactions cumbersome.
Innovation Solution
A system that enables low-end or medium-end devices to leverage the processing power of another device in real-time by negotiating latency requirements and allocating resources to maintain consistent communication, using O-DU layers to match latency and synchronize packet processing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If remote desktop protocols are used to connect to another computer remotely, then users can access remote devices, but the interaction feels non-native and input operations are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a paired processing architecture where a first user device establishes a direct processing relationship with a second user device, mediated through network communication but executing locally. This intermediary paired processing mode enables native-like interaction by running applications directly on the remote device while maintaining simple user-facing operations on the local device.
2Power
If low-end or medium-end devices try to leverage processing power of another device in real-time, then processing capabilities are enhanced, but latency and stability issues arise
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by establishing resource allocation agreements and latency budgets before actual paired processing begins. The network device pre-configures communication resources, QoS parameters, and processing priorities to ensure stable real-time communication when devices leverage each other's processing power.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where devices continuously monitor processing status, latency metrics, and resource availability. This feedback enables dynamic adjustment of processing tasks and resource allocation to maintain stability while leveraging processing power across devices.
3Loss of time
If devices negotiate latency requirements and allocate resources to maintain consistent communication, then latency is reduced and stability improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system manages complexity by focusing on key parameter changes - specifically latency requirements and resource allocation levels. Devices negotiate and adjust these critical parameters dynamically while keeping other system aspects standardized, thereby reducing latency without overwhelming complexity.
