Solution Overview

Problem

Relay UE fails to correctly map data of remote UE to QoS flows due to lack of service description information, leading to improper QoS control in PDU sessions.

Innovation Solution

The relay UE processes PDU sessions based on service description information provided by the remote UE, determining and applying QoS rules to ensure correct mapping of data to appropriate QoS flows.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If the relay UE uses existing QoS mapping mechanisms without service description information, then the connection establishment process is simple, but the relay UE cannot map the remote UE's data to the correct QoS flow

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveQoS flow mapping accuracyVSAvoidconnection establishment process
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The remote UE sends service description information to the relay UE during the connection establishment phase, before data transmission begins. This preliminary provision of QoS requirements enables the relay UE to correctly configure QoS flows in advance, ensuring accurate data mapping without adding complex procedures during active transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Service description information acts as an intermediary element that carries QoS requirements from the remote UE to the relay UE. This information structure mediates the QoS negotiation process, enabling the relay UE to understand and implement appropriate QoS flows without direct complex interaction with the core network for each data packet.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If the relay UE processes PDU sessions without service description information, then the network access process is faster, but communication efficiency is reduced due to incorrect QoS flow mapping

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication efficiencyVSAvoidnetwork access time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Service description information is exchanged during the PDU session establishment phase, allowing QoS flows to be pre-configured. This preliminary action ensures that when data transmission begins, the relay UE can immediately map packets to correct QoS flows without delays, maintaining both fast access and high efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The service description information provides feedback mechanisms where the remote UE communicates its QoS requirements to the relay UE, which then adjusts its QoS flow mapping accordingly. This feedback loop ensures optimal communication efficiency while maintaining reasonable access time through intelligent resource allocation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
