Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication systems only consider network-side device-generated QoS requirements, limiting application scenarios that satisfy end-to-end quality of service (QoS) requirements.

Innovation Solution

The method involves splitting end-to-end QoS requirement information into PC5-segment and Uu-segment QoS information, which can be performed by target devices such as UE, access network devices, or core network devices, using predefined mapping relationships to ensure accurate radio resource allocation and satisfy end-to-end QoS guarantees.

1Adaptability or versatility

If only network-side device-generated QoS requirements are considered, then the QoS control process is simple, but the application scenarios that satisfy QoS requirements are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication scenariosVSAvoidQoS control process
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the end-to-end QoS requirement information into two distinct parts: PC5-segment QoS information (for the direct communication link between UEs) and Uu-segment QoS information (for the network link). This segmentation allows each segment to be optimized independently for its specific communication scenario, thereby expanding applicable scenarios while maintaining manageable complexity through dedicated processing for each segment type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If end-to-end QoS requirement information is transmitted directly without splitting, then the signaling overhead is low, but the QoS guarantees across indirect communication links are inaccurate

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveQoS guaranteesVSAvoidsignaling overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

By dividing the QoS requirement information into PC5-segment and Uu-segment components, the patent enables precise QoS control for each communication link type. The PC5-segment QoS information specifically addresses the direct UE-to-UE link characteristics, while Uu-segment QoS information addresses the network link characteristics, ensuring accurate QoS guarantees tailored to each segment's requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by configuring different QoS parameters and attributes specific to each communication segment. The PC5-segment QoS information includes parameters optimized for direct device-to-device communication, while Uu-segment QoS information includes parameters optimized for network infrastructure communication, ensuring each segment receives appropriately tailored QoS treatment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If the relay UE converts Uu-segment QoS information to PC5-se段 QoS parameter based on mapping relationship, then the end-to-end QoS requirement is satisfied, but the signaling overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveend-to-end QoS requirementVSAvoidsignaling overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-configuring mapping relationships between Uu-segment QoS information and PC5-segment QoS parameters through the network. This allows the relay UE to perform efficient conversion without complex real-time calculations, ensuring reliable end-to-end QoS satisfaction while minimizing signaling overhead through streamlined conversion processes.
