Solution Overview

Problem

Current communication systems fail to accurately reflect air interface resources consumed by terminals in proximity-based communication, leading to a poor charging effect.

Innovation Solution

Terminals report information about air interface resources used in proximity-based communication, enabling network sides to charge based on this information, thereby improving charging accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If charging is based on amount of data transmitted, then charging can be implemented, but charging accuracy is poor because it cannot directly reflect air interface resources consumed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecharging accuracyVSAvoidair interface resource consumption information
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal feeds back information about air interface resources used in proximity-based communication to the network side. This feedback mechanism enables the network side to obtain accurate resource consumption data and perform charging based on actual air interface resource usage rather than just data transmission volume, thereby improving charging accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If traditional charging based on data transmission amount is used, then charging implementation is simple, but charging effect is poor due to inability to reflect actual resource consumption

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecharging effectVSAvoidinformation reporting complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal reports air interface resource usage information to the network side through a feedback mechanism. This enables reliable charging based on actual resource consumption while maintaining reasonable system complexity through standardized reporting procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
