PDU Set Signaling for Predictive Wireless Resource Allocation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In wireless communication systems, the encryption of protocol data unit (PDU) set information in packets leads to inefficiencies in resource allocation due to the second network node's unawareness of PDU set information, resulting in unnecessary resource allocation and potential underutilization.
Innovation Solution
The proposed solution involves predicting and signaling PDU set information associated with a subsequent PDU set within an earlier transmitted PDU set, allowing the second network node to allocate resources efficiently based on this information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If PDU set information is encrypted in packets, then security is improved, but resource allocation efficiency deteriorates due to the second network node's unawareness of PDU set information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by including PDU set information for a second PDU set within packets of a first PDU set before the second PDU set is transmitted. This allows the second network node to obtain and process the information in advance, enabling efficient resource allocation and preparation for subsequent PDU set transmission without compromising security through encryption.
2Device complexity
If PDU set information is not signaled to the second network node, then device complexity is reduced, but resource allocation efficiency deteriorates due to unnecessary resource allocation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the signaling of PDU set information with the existing PDU set transmission process. By including the information within the packets of the first PDU set, the patent combines multiple functions into a single transmission operation, avoiding additional signaling overhead while enabling the second network node to allocate resources efficiently for the second PDU set.
3Loss of information
If PDU set information is transmitted separately, then information completeness is improved, but transmission time increases due to additional signaling periods
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the transmission of PDU set information with the transmission of the first PDU set packets into a single time period. This merging eliminates the need for separate signaling periods, ensuring that the second network node receives complete information about the second PDU set without incurring additional transmission time delays.

AI summary
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first network node may transmit, to a second network node during a first time period, at least one packet of a first protocol data unit (PDU) set, the at least one packet of the first PDU set comprising PDU set information associated with a second PDU set. The first network node may transmit, to the second network node during a second time period that occurs subsequent to the first time period, at least one packet of the second PDU set. Numerous other aspects are described.
