Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication technologies struggle with efficiently managing multiple communication operations simultaneously and sequentially in terminals with single or multiple SIM cards, leading to conflicts and suboptimal resource allocation.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for priority configuration that involves receiving and determining operation priorities based on an association relationship between communication operation types and priorities, allowing terminals to automatically schedule and allocate resources for multiple operations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple communication operations are performed simultaneously and sequentially in terminals with single or multiple SIM cards, then communication functionality is enhanced, but conflicts and resource allocation inefficiency occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication functionalityVSAvoidresource allocation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The base station performs preliminary configuration by determining operation priorities for different communication operation types and sending this priority configuration information to the terminal before the terminal executes multiple communication operations. This advance preparation enables the terminal to efficiently schedule operations without real-time conflicts

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic priority-based scheduling where the terminal adjusts the execution order of communication operations based on received priority configurations. Different operation types (e.g., voice call, data transmission, signaling) are dynamically scheduled according to their assigned priorities, allowing flexible resource allocation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If manual scheduling of communication operations is performed, then control flexibility is maintained, but scheduling complexity and user burden increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescheduling controlVSAvoidscheduling complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal is equipped with automatic scheduling capability that performs communication operation scheduling autonomously based on priority configuration information received from the base station. The terminal independently determines the execution order of multiple operations without requiring manual user intervention, achieving self-service scheduling

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Extent of automation

If priority configuration information is sent from base station to terminal, then automatic scheduling is enabled, but signaling overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic schedulingVSAvoidsignaling overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The priority configuration information is designed to serve multiple communication operation types simultaneously. A single configuration message from the base station contains priority assignments for various operation types (voice, data, signaling, etc.), enabling the configuration to be universally applied across different communication scenarios and reducing the need for separate signaling for each operation type

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A method for priority configuration in a terminal operating in a communications network includes a number of steps. A terminal receives configuration information for type priority sent by a base station. The configuration information for type priority includes an association relationship between a communication operation type and a type priority. The terminal determines, on the basis of the configuration information for type priority, a first operation priority of a first communication operation and a second operation priority of a second communication operation. A base station sends configuration information for type priority to a terminal.
