Solution Overview
Problem
In 5G communication systems, the inefficient communication power consumption during real-time streaming data transmission due to constant bit rate (CBR) data generation and transmission, which does not utilize the maximum available mobile communication network speed, leading to higher power consumption and heat generation in electronic devices.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for determining a traffic pattern in wireless communication systems that converts CBR-form streaming data into a periodic bulk form, optimizing data transmission based on encoding setting parameters, data generation speed, and available TCP transmission speed, allowing for efficient power management by transmitting data at maximum available speeds and entering idle states to reduce power consumption.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If streaming data is transmitted at constant bit rate (CBR) from electronic device to server, then real-time transmission is maintained, but communication power consumption increases due to continuous low-speed transmission not utilizing maximum available network speed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies periodic action by switching between transmission states (active and idle) instead of continuous transmission. The electronic device transmits data in periodic bursts at maximum available speed followed by idle periods, which reduces average power consumption while maintaining real-time transmission capability through proper buffer management and timing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics by making the transmission speed variable rather than constant. The system dynamically adjusts transmission speed between maximum available speed during active transmission and zero speed during idle periods, optimizing power consumption while meeting real-time delivery requirements through adaptive rate control.
2Loss of time
If data transmission is performed at maximum available speed, then transmission time is reduced, but power consumption increases due to continuous high-speed transmission
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses periodic action to alternate between high-speed transmission periods and idle periods. Data is transmitted in concentrated bursts at maximum available speed followed by periods where transmission is suspended, achieving a balance between total transmission time and average power consumption through rhythmic on-off transmission patterns.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent maintains continuity of useful action by ensuring data flow continues through buffer management. While transmission to the network is intermittent, data is continuously prepared in buffers during idle periods, ensuring that when transmission resumes, it can immediately proceed at maximum speed without interruption to the overall data delivery process.
3Use of energy by moving object
If transmission is switched between active and non-transmission states for power saving, then power consumption is reduced, but transmission speed efficiency decreases due to frequent state switching
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by transmitting only the necessary amount of data in each active period rather than maintaining continuous transmission. The system determines optimal transmission durations and data volumes for each active period, transmitting sufficient data to meet real-time requirements while minimizing the duration of high-power transmission states.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by preparing data in buffers before transmission periods. Data is pre-processed and staged in memory during idle periods, so when transmission begins, it can immediately proceed at maximum speed without setup delays, maintaining high transmission efficiency during active periods while minimizing the frequency and duration of state transitions.
