Terminal Resource Conflict Feedback for Dual-Mode NR Scheduling

Resolve Bottlenecks,
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

The LTE system only supports single resource allocation modes, while the NR system requires simultaneous operation in network device scheduling and terminal autonomous selection modes, leading to resource conflicts that existing technologies have not effectively addressed.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for terminals to discard conflicting resources acquired through different modes and communicate this conflict to the network device, allowing for timely reconfiguration and resource management to avoid future conflicts.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the terminal operates in both network device scheduling mode and terminal autonomous selection mode simultaneously, then the system supports diverse QoS services, but resource conflicts occur between the two modes

Engineering Contradiction:

ImproveQoS service diversityVSAvoidresource allocation reliability

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal feeds back resource conflict information to the network device by reporting discarded mode 1 resource information. This feedback mechanism enables the network device to adjust scheduling decisions and avoid future conflicts, resolving the reliability issue while maintaining dual-mode operation for QoS diversity

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The network device acts as an intermediary that receives conflict information from the terminal and provides scheduling adjustments. This intermediary role coordinates between mode 1 and mode 2 operations, preventing resource conflicts while preserving the adaptability benefits of both modes

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If the terminal discards mode 1 resources when conflicts occur, then resource conflicts are resolved, but network scheduling performance may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveresource conflict resolutionVSAvoidnetwork scheduling performance

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal provides feedback about discarded mode 1 resources to the network device, enabling the network device to learn from conflicts and improve future scheduling decisions. This feedback loop resolves conflicts while maintaining or improving overall scheduling performance through adaptive optimization

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal autonomously identifies and discards conflicting mode 1 resources based on local conflict detection, then reports the conflict information. This self-service approach resolves conflicts quickly without requiring immediate network intervention, preserving scheduling performance while ensuring conflict resolution

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a processing method and device. The method includes: discarding a first resource when the first resource conflicts with a second resource; and transmitting first information to a network device, wherein the first information indicates that a terminal discards the first resource and/or a reason why the terminal discards the first resource, the first resource is a resource acquired by the terminal based on a network device scheduling mode, and the second resource is a resource acquired by the terminal based on a terminal autonomous selection mode.
