Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication systems fail to ensure timely transmission of service data with specified delay requirements, leading to degraded user experience due to alternate signal transmission among terminal devices.

Innovation Solution

A communication method that schedules signals based on the quantity of to-be-transmitted frames of terminal devices, determining priorities to avoid delay violations and improve user experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If signals from different terminal devices are alternately transmitted to achieve fairness, then system capacity is increased, but service data with time validity requirements cannot be transmitted within specified delay requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem capacityVSAvoidtransmission delay
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the scheduling parameter from fixed alternate transmission to dynamic priority-based transmission. The network device determines transmission priority based on the quantity of to-be-transmitted frames, allowing parameters to change dynamically based on actual service needs rather than following a fixed alternating pattern.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic scheduling where transmission priority is not fixed but changes based on the quantity of to-be-transmitted frames. The network device continuously adjusts which terminal device transmits next based on real-time frame quantities, making the system adaptive rather than static.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If alternate transmission is used among terminal devices, then fairness is achieved, but user experience is degraded due to delay violations

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefairnessVSAvoiddelay requirement satisfaction
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the scheduling parameter from fixed alternate transmission to dynamic priority-based transmission. The network device determines transmission priority based on the quantity of to-be-transmitted frames, allowing parameters to change dynamically based on actual service needs rather than following a fixed alternating pattern.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where terminal devices report the quantity of to-be-transmitted frames to the network device. The network device uses this feedback information to dynamically adjust transmission priorities, creating a closed-loop control system that responds to actual service conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If scheduling is based on channel quality and historical transmission rate, then resource allocation is optimized, but time validity requirements of service data are not met

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation efficiencyVSAvoidtransmission delay
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the scheduling parameter from fixed alternate transmission to dynamic priority-based transmission. The network device determines transmission priority based on the quantity of to-be-transmitted frames, allowing parameters to change dynamically based on actual service needs rather than following a fixed alternating pattern.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by having terminal devices report the quantity of to-be-transmitted frames in advance before actual transmission scheduling. This allows the network device to proactively prioritize transmissions that are likely to miss delay requirements, rather than reacting after delays have occurred.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
