Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication methods are inadequate for complex communication scenarios, failing to account for varying network statuses and terminal loads, leading to inefficient data transmission and potential terminal overload.

Innovation Solution

A communication method and apparatus that enables a RAN node to actively modify quality of service profiles based on current network status and terminal load, using candidate profiles to determine an appropriate quality of service profile, thereby controlling terminal load and optimizing data transmission.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed QoS profile mapping method is used, then the mapping process is simple, but it cannot adapt to complex communication scenarios with varying network status and terminal load

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to complex communication scenariosVSAvoidQoS profile mapping complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the fixed QoS profile mapping into a dynamic process where the RAN node actively selects from multiple candidate QoS profiles based on real-time network status and terminal load conditions. The mapping relationship between QoS flows and QoS profiles is no longer static but dynamically adjusted according to current system state, enabling adaptation to complex communication scenarios while maintaining manageable complexity through automated decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If the RAN node actively modifies QoS profiles based on terminal load, then terminal overload is prevented and user experience improves, but the control complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveterminal load control reliabilityVSAvoidQoS profile control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the RAN node continuously monitors terminal load and network status, then adjusts QoS profile selection accordingly. The system receives feedback about terminal conditions and automatically modifies QoS profile mapping to prevent overload. This closed-loop control ensures reliable terminal load management while the automated feedback process reduces the need for complex manual control configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple candidate QoS profiles are considered, then the appropriate QoS profile can be determined for different scenarios, but the decision-making process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveQoS profile selection flexibilityVSAvoidprofile selection process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The RAN node performs self-service by automatically selecting the most appropriate QoS profile from multiple candidates based on its own monitoring of network status and terminal load conditions. The system uses its intrinsic capabilities to make autonomous decisions without requiring complex external control mechanisms or manual intervention, thereby achieving flexible scenario adaptation while keeping the decision-making process manageable through automated local intelligence.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A communication method includes obtaining transmission mode indication information. The transmission mode indication information indicates to one or more of transmit first information to a terminal by using air interface signaling, or transmit the first information to a user plane function network element in a user plane manner. The communication method also includes sending the first information based on the transmission mode indication information. The first information is for determining a first parameter. The first parameter includes at least one of a task split point, a task amount for task processing, a bit rate, a data rate, a frame rate, or a resolution.
