Solution Overview

Problem

Current 5G wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently transmitting packets due to increased data traffic and propagation losses, particularly in higher frequency bands, where existing methods like packet duplication technology are not fully optimized for reliability and efficiency.

Innovation Solution

The proposed solution involves an apparatus and method where a transmitter determines whether to duplicate packets based on quality of service (QoS) information or service type, and if so, transmits duplicated packets to a receiver, while the receiver processes these packets for reordering or discards duplicates, enhancing packet transmission reliability and efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If packet duplication is performed to improve transmission reliability, then packet loss rate decreases, but transmission efficiency and resource utilization deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepacket transmission reliabilityVSAvoidtransmission efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of packet duplication from a static always-on mechanism to a dynamic parameter controlled by QoS information and service types. The transmitter determines whether to duplicate packets based on QoS parameters such as packet delay budget, packet error loss rate, and priority levels, thereby optimizing the balance between reliability and transmission efficiency for different service requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic control of packet duplication through QoS-based decision-making. The system continuously evaluates QoS information and service types to dynamically adjust duplication behavior, transitioning from static resource allocation to adaptive resource management that responds to changing network conditions and service requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If packet duplication is performed through different paths to improve reliability, then data loss prevention improves, but system complexity and path management overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission reliabilityVSAvoidpath management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the packet transmission process by creating separate duplicate packet streams that can be transmitted through different paths. Each duplicate packet is independently managed but coordinated through QoS control, allowing the system to handle multiple paths through structured segmentation rather than monolithic path management

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the transmitter monitors transmission status and QoS metrics to dynamically adjust duplication and path selection. The receiver provides feedback on packet reception status, enabling the transmitter to optimize path usage and reduce management complexity through adaptive control based on actual network conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
