Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In 5G network slicing technologies, ensuring key performance indicators such as security and latency requirements on the terminal side is a challenge, as existing solutions mainly focus on the core network side, leaving the terminal side to manage these requirements inadequately.
Innovation Solution
A resource configuration method and apparatus that allows terminals to obtain and configure slice attributes, such as security and latency requirements, to implement resource isolation and priority scheduling, ensuring differentiated security and performance for network slices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If network slicing is implemented on core network side only, then network architecture complexity is reduced, but terminal side cannot ensure security and latency requirements of network slices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the network slicing functionality into two parts: core network side for slice management and terminal side for slice perception and resource configuration. The terminal is divided into functional modules including slice type determination module, slice attribute obtaining module, and resource configuration module, enabling independent handling of security and latency requirements at the terminal level while maintaining overall network architecture simplicity.
2Reliability
If terminal performs resource isolation and priority scheduling for network slices, then security and latency requirements are met, but terminal resource utilization efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by configuring different resource isolation and scheduling strategies for different slice types based on their specific requirements. The terminal determines slice type (e.g., eMBB, uRLLC, mMTC) and applies corresponding slice attributes (security requirements, latency requirements) to each slice independently, allowing high-priority scheduling for latency-sensitive slices while maintaining efficient resource utilization for other slices.
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal dynamically adjusts resource configuration based on real-time slice attributes and network conditions. The resource configuration module continuously monitors and adapts resource allocation for each slice type, enabling flexible switching between different scheduling policies to optimize both reliability and resource utilization efficiency under varying conditions.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If differentiated security protection is provided for different slice types, then data security of applications is ensured, but terminal processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal performs preliminary action by pre-configuring slice type determination rules and slice attribute mappings before actual network slice operations. The terminal stores predefined mappings between slice types and their corresponding security requirements, allowing rapid security policy application without complex real-time analysis, thus ensuring data security while minimizing processing complexity.
Data Source
AI summary
This application discloses a resource configuration method and apparatus. The method includes: obtaining, by a terminal, a slice attribute corresponding to a slice type of a first session, where the slice attribute corresponding to the slice type includes at least one of a security requirement or a latency requirement of the slice type; and performing resource configuration for the first session based on the slice attribute. In this way, a security requirement and/or a latency requirement of network slices can be implemented on a terminal side.
