Solution Overview

Problem

In new radio (NR) systems, terminal devices face challenges in transmitting application layer data units (ADUs) effectively, particularly in ensuring synchronized processing and meeting transmission requirements for associated ADUs, which affects data transmission quality and user experience.

Innovation Solution

A method and device configuration that allows terminal devices to receive and process information related to ADUs from network devices, enabling them to perform transmission, stop transmission, or delete packets based on configuration parameters and indications, ensuring synchronized processing and meeting overall service transmission requirements.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If terminal devices transmit ADUs independently without centralized coordination, then transmission speed increases, but transmission quality and synchronization deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission speedVSAvoidtransmission quality
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The network device performs preliminary actions by determining transmission requirements for multiple associated ADUs before transmission begins, and sends these requirements to the terminal device in advance. This allows the terminal device to transmit ADUs independently at high speed while the network device ensures transmission quality through centralized coordination and quality control based on pre-determined requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If terminal devices process each ADU individually, then processing flexibility increases, but synchronized processing of associated ADUs deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing flexibilityVSAvoidsynchronized processing
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The network device merges the processing of multiple associated ADUs by determining transmission requirements for multiple ADUs together rather than individually. It sends unified transmission requirements to the terminal device, enabling the terminal to process each ADU flexibly while maintaining synchronized processing through centralized coordination at the network level.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Device complexity

If no transmission requirements are specified, then device complexity decreases, but ability to meet service transmission requirements deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice complexityVSAvoidability to meet service requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The network device acts as an intermediary by determining transmission requirements for multiple associated ADUs and sending these requirements to the terminal device. This intermediary approach allows the terminal device to remain relatively simple while still being able to meet specific service transmission requirements through the guidance provided by the network device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
