Communication Apparatus QoS Control via Decoupled Parameters
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In mobile communication systems, providing diverse communication quality control for services is challenging due to the reliance on specific QCI-associated QoS information, limiting flexibility in communication quality management.
Innovation Solution
A communication apparatus and method that store and utilize parameters to select and add QoS information to packets based on the quality class of the communication path, enabling communication quality control independent of QCI, through a control signal sent by a control apparatus to perform packet-level quality management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If specific QoS information is associated with each QCI for communication quality control, then communication quality control can be performed based on standardized QCI mappings, but diverse communication quality control for various communication services becomes difficult to achieve
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the QoS control mechanism by introducing a separate parameter (such as scheduling priority or resource allocation parameter) that is independent of QCI. This allows the QoS control to be divided into multiple dimensions: QCI-based standard control and parameter-based diverse control, enabling both standardized and customized quality control simultaneously
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the control parameters by introducing additional parameters (e.g., scheduling priority, resource allocation parameters) that can be adjusted independently of QCI. This enables flexible modification of communication quality parameters to meet diverse service requirements while maintaining the existing QCI framework
2Ease of manufacture
If QoS information is added to packets based on QCI pairing, then communication quality control can be performed using established standards, but flexibility in communication quality management is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the QoS control system multi-functional by enabling packets to be controlled by both QCI-based standard rules and parameter-based custom rules. The communication apparatus can selectively apply different control strategies depending on service requirements, achieving both standardization and customization
3Extent of automation
If communication quality control depends on QCI pairing with communication services, then standardized QoS management can be implemented, but various service requirements cannot be accommodated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamic parameter adjustment capability where scheduling priority and resource allocation parameters can be changed in real-time based on service requirements, user conditions, and network state, making the QoS management system adaptable while maintaining automated control

AI summary
A technique enabling diverse communication quality control for a communication service is provided. A communication apparatus includes a first means for storing a parameter notified from a control apparatus, wherein the control apparatus can send a control signal related to the communication path to the communication apparatus; and a second means that can perform communication quality control on a packet, based on a quality class of the communication path corresponding to the packet and the parameter corresponding to the communication path.
