Terminal Processing Capability Determination for Mixed Data Types
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication technologies cannot adapt different processing capabilities for various data types on a single carrier, leading to inefficient data processing in terminals supporting multiple services with varying capability levels.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for determining a processing capability applicable for target data by detecting and transmitting capability indication information, allowing terminals to differentiate processing capabilities for different data types based on physical layer indication signaling or semi-persistent configured resources.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single processing capability is enabled for a carrier, then the terminal can process data consistently, but it cannot adapt to different data types requiring different processing capabilities
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the processing capability indication by introducing a data type field that divides data into different types (e.g., first data type and second data type). Each data type can be associated with different processing capabilities (Cap1 or Cap2), allowing the terminal to select appropriate processing capabilities for different data types while maintaining a single enabled capability configuration for the carrier.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by making the processing capability indication specific to each data type rather than uniform across all data. The terminal determines processing capabilities based on both the enabled capability for the carrier and the data type of the specific data, allowing different parts of the data processing system to have different capabilities based on local requirements.
2Productivity
If different processing capabilities are specified for different data types, then processing efficiency is improved, but the complexity of capability indication increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamic capability indication by making the processing capability selection dependent on the data type of the specific data being processed. The terminal dynamically determines whether to apply Cap1 or Cap2 based on the combination of the enabled capability for the carrier and the data type, allowing flexible adaptation without requiring multiple static capability configurations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of capability indication by introducing data type as an additional dimension. Instead of having separate capability configurations for different scenarios, the system uses parameter changes in the indication mechanism (combining enabled capability with data type) to achieve fine-grained control over processing capabilities while maintaining configuration simplicity.
