Solution Overview

Problem

In evolved universal terrestrial radio access networks (E-UTRAN), user equipment (UE) faces delays in resource allocation for high-delay requirement services due to the existing resource request mechanism, leading to degraded user experience.

Innovation Solution

A resource request method where UE sends a resource request indication to the network side device when service data is received or when a preset data condition is met, allowing for timely resource allocation and reducing delays by using buffer status reports (BSR) or buffer level indications over dedicated time frequency resources.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If the existing trigger mechanism for BSR reporting is used, then the resource allocation process follows standard procedures, but the data transmission delay increases and user experience degrades for high-delay requirement services

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission delayVSAvoidresource request mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by enabling the UE to send a resource request indication immediately upon receiving service data or when buffer data meets preset conditions, rather than waiting for the trigger mechanism to activate. This proactive approach allows the network side device to allocate resources in advance, significantly reducing data transmission delay for high-delay requirement services while maintaining manageable operational complexity through preset triggering conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If the UE waits for BSR sending conditions to be satisfied, then resource requests are sent according to standard procedures, but appropriate time frequency resources cannot be obtained timely for high-delay services

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation reliabilityVSAvoidresource acquisition time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamics by allowing the UE to flexibly determine when to send resource request indications based on preset conditions (receiving service data or buffer data size meeting thresholds), rather than following rigid trigger mechanisms. This dynamic approach ensures reliable resource allocation for high-delay services by adapting the request timing to actual data arrival and buffer status, reducing resource acquisition time while maintaining allocation reliability

AI summary

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe a resource request method and a device, to implement a low-delay resource request and then ensure low-delay data transmission of UE, so as to improve a user experience. An embodiment of the resource request method may include receiving, by UE, service data. The method may also include when the service data is received or when a size of preset data satisfies a preset sending condition, sending a resource request indication to a network side device, where the resource request indication is used to instruct the network side device to allocate, to the UE, a resource for sending the service data.
