Telecommunications Apparatus Radio Resource Allocation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current telecommunications systems for mobile communications inefficiently use radio resources when transmitting internet packet data with varying data types and importance, as they employ a single set of quality of service (QoS) parameters for all data, leading to wasteful bandwidth usage for less critical data.
Innovation Solution
The system parses payload data to determine different data types and their symbols, generates a radio access bearer sub-flow indicator, and forms transport frames to communicate data packets using different QoS parameters appropriate for each data type, optimizing radio resource allocation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a single set of QoS parameters is used for all data packets, then the system is simple to operate and manage, but radio resources are wasted transmitting critical data at low bit error rates when higher rates are available
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the single QoS parameter set into multiple distinct QoS parameter sets, each associated with different data types (e.g., critical vs. non-critical data). This allows the system to selectively apply appropriate QoS parameters to different data packets, improving radio resource utilization while maintaining operational simplicity through automated classification.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different QoS parameters to different data types within the same packet stream. Critical data receives higher bit error rate protection and priority handling, while non-critical data uses standard parameters, optimizing resource allocation at the data type level without requiring complex manual configuration.
2Loss of energy
If different QoS parameters are applied to different data types, then radio resource allocation is optimized, but the system complexity increases due to data type identification and parameter selection
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically identifying data types and selecting appropriate QoS parameters without manual intervention. The gateway support node and user equipment autonomously parse payload data, determine data types, and apply corresponding QoS parameters, reducing configuration complexity while maintaining optimized resource allocation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes parameters by dynamically selecting different QoS parameter sets based on data type identification. The system modifies key parameters such as bit error rate targets, priority levels, and bandwidth allocation according to the identified data type, enabling optimized resource usage through parameter adaptation rather than complex system reconfiguration.
3Reliability
If radio resources are allocated based on data importance, then critical data transmission reliability is improved, but the complexity of determining data importance and allocating resources increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining data type classifications and associated QoS parameters before data transmission occurs. The system prepares QoS parameter sets in advance for different data types (critical, non-critical, etc.), enabling rapid determination and allocation during packet processing without complex real-time analysis.
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces complex mechanical resource allocation mechanisms with automated software-based data type determination and QoS parameter selection. The gateway support node and user equipment use parsing algorithms and decision trees to automatically classify data and apply appropriate parameters, substituting manual configuration complexity with automated intelligent processing.
Data Source
AI summary
A telecommunications system communicates internet packet data, carrying payload data including a plurality of different data types, with a mobile communications user equipment. The system comprises a gateway support node (GGSN), a service support node (SGSN) and a radio network controller (RNC). At least one of the gateway support node (GGSN) and the user equipment (UE) are operable to: parse the payload data in each data packet; generate a radio access bearer sub-flow indicator indicating the number of different types of data in the payload and the number of symbols in each different data type; and form a transport frame including the sub-flow indicator. The data packets are communicated between the radio network controller and the user equipment by detecting the sub-flow indicator, and in accordance with the sub-flow indicator arranging for the data from each of the different data fields to be communicated via a different radio access bearer providing different quality of service parameters appropriate for the different data type.
