Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication technologies face inefficiencies in access and data transmission when multiple access modes are used, as the network device cannot effectively adjust resource configuration due to lack of information on the terminal's access mode failures and attempts, leading to suboptimal access and data transmission efficiency.

Innovation Solution

The terminal sends additional information indicating the previous access mode used before switching to a new access mode, allowing the network device to optimize resource configuration for improved efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the terminal uses multiple access modes to increase the probability of successful access or data transmission, then the reliability is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprobability of successful accessVSAvoidaccess mode selection complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal sends second information to the network device to indicate the first access mode that was used before switching to the second access mode. This feedback mechanism enables the network device to understand which access modes the terminal has attempted and which ones were successful, allowing for intelligent resource configuration and optimization without increasing terminal complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If the terminal switches between different access modes when access fails, then the reliability is improved, but the loss of time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission success rateVSAvoidaccess time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal performs preliminary actions by sending second information indicating the previous access mode before actually switching to the new access mode. This allows the network device to prepare resource configuration information in advance based on the terminal's access history, enabling faster and more efficient access attempts in the future without unnecessary time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If the network device optimizes resource configuration based on terminal's access mode history, then the productivity is improved, but the loss of information decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess efficiencyVSAvoidaccess mode information
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal provides feedback by sending second information that indicates the first access mode used before switching to the second access mode. This feedback loop ensures that the network device receives accurate information about the terminal's access history, preventing information loss and enabling effective resource configuration optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

4Productivity

If the terminal sends additional information about previous access mode, then the network device can optimize resource configuration, but the use of energy increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess efficiencyVSAvoidterminal energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal extracts only the necessary information about the previous access mode and sends it as second information to the network device. By taking out only the essential access mode indication rather than transmitting complete access history or unnecessary data, the terminal achieves effective resource optimization while minimizing energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

An information transmission method includes sending, by a terminal, second information and uplink data. The uplink data is sent in a second access mode. The second information indicates a first access mode. The first access mode is useable by the terminal to send the uplink data before the terminal sends the uplink data in the second access mode.
