QoS-Aware Uplink Resource Allocation for Critical Device Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Network infrastructure is overwhelmed by numerous requests from communication devices, leading to critical UAVs being unable to access resources in a timely manner due to competing less important devices.
Innovation Solution
Implement a priority-based scheme where devices are assigned different configurations based on data criticality, allowing critical data to utilize higher priority QCI values for enhanced resource access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If network infrastructure services all communication devices equally, then all devices can access resources, but critical data transmission is delayed due to overwhelming requests from numerous non-critical devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different QoS configurations to different devices based on their data criticality. Critical devices receive high-priority configurations with guaranteed resource allocation, while non-critical devices receive standard configurations. This differentiated approach ensures that critical data transmission is not blocked by non-critical requests, resolving the contradiction between serving all devices equally and ensuring timely critical data transmission.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the priority parameter of device configurations dynamically. When a device transmits critical data, its QoS configuration is changed to a higher priority level, which modifies its position in the resource allocation queue. This parameter change allows critical data to jump ahead of non-critical requests, eliminating transmission delays while maintaining overall network serviceability.
2Productivity
If network infrastructure allocates resources to all requesting devices, then resource utilization is maximized, but critical devices cannot obtain resources in a timely manner due to request overload
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements local quality by creating distinct resource allocation streams: a high-priority stream for critical devices and a standard stream for non-critical devices. The high-priority stream processes critical data requests with expedited resource allocation, while the standard stream continues to process non-critical requests to maintain overall resource utilization. This resolves the contradiction by ensuring fast resource allocation for critical devices without completely blocking the resource pool.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the resource allocation process into priority-based queues. Critical devices are placed in an expedited queue that is serviced before the standard queue. This segmentation allows the network to maintain high resource utilization by continuously processing requests from both queues, while simultaneously ensuring that critical devices receive resources at higher speed through the prioritized queue structure.
3Device complexity
If uniform QoS configuration is assigned to all devices, then configuration management is simplified, but critical data cannot receive enhanced resource access priority
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by implementing differentiated QoS configurations tailored to specific device needs. Instead of uniform configuration, each device receives a configuration appropriate to its data criticality level. Critical devices are assigned configurations with higher priority parameters, while non-critical devices receive standard configurations. This resolves the contradiction by providing enhanced resource access priority to critical data through localized configuration adjustments without requiring complete redesign of the configuration management system.
