Radio Terminal Link Usage Control for Resource Allocation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing radio communication terminals inefficiently allocate radio resources, prioritizing real-time data traffic over non-real-time traffic, leading to resource congestion and suboptimal usage during network congestion, and failing to provide cost-effective services for non-real-time data traffic.
Innovation Solution
A radio communication terminal with a link-usage level calculating section and a data reception continuation/suspension determining section that assesses current usage levels and resource allocation ratios to decide whether to continue or suspend data reception, ensuring efficient allocation of radio resources based on threshold calculations and time-zone usage analysis.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If radio resources are allocated to non-real-time data traffic under network congestion, then resource utilization increases, but real-time data traffic quality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic resource allocation by continuously monitoring link usage levels and adjusting data reception decisions in real-time. The terminal determines whether to continue or suspend data reception based on current link usage conditions, enabling adaptive response to changing network states and resolving the contradiction between resource utilization and service quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the operational parameters of data reception by introducing link usage level thresholds. When link usage exceeds predetermined thresholds, the terminal suspends non-real-time data reception, thereby controlling resource consumption and preventing degradation of real-time traffic quality while allowing efficient use of available resources.
2Ease of operation
If data reception is continuously performed, then user service availability improves, but radio resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by selectively continuing or suspending data reception based on link usage conditions. Instead of continuous data reception, the terminal performs reception only when link usage is within acceptable thresholds, reducing unnecessary resource consumption while maintaining service availability when resources are sufficient.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms by monitoring link usage levels and using this information to control data reception decisions. The terminal continuously assesses radio resource conditions and adjusts its reception behavior accordingly, creating a closed-loop system that optimizes the balance between service availability and resource consumption.
3Speed
If priority-based resource allocation is implemented, then real-time traffic performance improves, but non-real-time traffic resource allocation becomes inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the data traffic handling into different categories: real-time traffic that receives priority allocation and non-real-time traffic that is subject to link usage-based control. This segmentation allows efficient resource allocation to real-time traffic while preventing excessive consumption by non-real-time traffic, resolving the inefficiency in the priority-based allocation system.

AI summary
A radio communication terminal includes a link-usage level calculating section that calculates usage level of a radio link, and a data reception continuation/suspension determining section that determines continuation of data reception or suspension of data reception according to the level of usage calculated by the link-usage level calculating section. The link-usage level calculating section calculates a current usage level indicating a level of usage of the radio link associated with current data reception in the radio communication terminal. The data reception continuation/suspension determining section determines continuation of data reception when the current usage level is equal to or higher than a reference level of usage being a threshold and determines suspension of data reception when the current usage level is lower than the reference level of usage.
