QoE Measurement Timer for Timely Reporting and Storage Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in managing quality of experience (QoE) measurements efficiently, leading to resource wastage and inaccurate determinations due to unclear timing for reporting and storage management of QoE data.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a timer mechanism for QoE measurements at both UE and base station levels to manage the collection and reporting of QoE data, ensuring timely expiration and storage management to prevent resource wastage and maintain data relevance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If QoE measurements are continuously collected and stored without a timer mechanism, then more measurement data can be obtained, but storage resources are wasted and data relevance deteriorates due to overflow and outdated information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a timer mechanism that periodically expires to trigger QoE measurement reporting and storage management. The timer creates periodic action by starting when QoE configuration is received and expiring after a configured duration, at which point measurements are reported and storage is cleared, preventing resource wastage while maintaining data collection
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the temporal parameter of QoE data management by introducing a time-based expiration mechanism. The timer configuration information includes a time duration parameter that dynamically controls when measurements should be reported and storage cleared, transforming static continuous storage into dynamic time-limited storage
2Quantity of substance
If QoE measurements are collected for extended periods without timer expiration, then more comprehensive data is gathered, but measurement accuracy deteriorates due to outdated information
Solution Approach 1:
The timer mechanism creates periodic measurement cycles where QoE measurements are collected for a specific duration and then reported before the timer expires. This ensures measurements remain current and relevant by establishing a regular reporting rhythm that prevents data aging
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by configuring the timer duration in advance based on QoE measurement type and service requirements. This pre-configured time parameter ensures measurements are collected for an optimal duration that balances comprehensiveness with currentness before expiration triggers reporting
3Adaptability or versatility
If no timer mechanism is used for QoE reporting, then reporting flexibility is maintained, but communication efficiency deteriorates due to unclear timing and potential resource wastage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamic timing control where the timer duration can be configured based on QoE measurement type, service requirements, and network conditions. The timer configuration information allows adaptive adjustment of measurement collection duration, providing both structure and flexibility
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the temporal parameter of QoE reporting by introducing configurable time duration parameters in the timer configuration information. Different QoE measurement types can have different timer durations, enabling parameter-based adaptation that improves communication efficiency while maintaining flexibility
