Solution Overview

Problem

There is currently no processing mechanism for survival time in 5G communication systems, which is essential for enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), Ultra Reliability and Low Latency Communication (URLLC), and massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC), particularly in scenarios requiring strict service transmission requirements.

Innovation Solution

A processing method and terminal device are developed to clarify the processing mechanism of survival time by performing relevant operations based on first information, including survival time-related information, to manage survival time status, reduce redundant transmissions, and optimize resource usage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If survival time processing mechanism is implemented in 5G communication systems, then service transmission reliability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice transmission reliabilityVSAvoidprocessing mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by configuring the terminal device with survival time information and related parameters before actual communication occurs. The device prepares and stores necessary configuration data (such as maximum retransmission counts, time thresholds) in advance, enabling automatic survival time management during communication without requiring complex real-time decision-making mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal device performs self-service by autonomously monitoring its own transmission status, counting retransmission attempts, and automatically determining when survival time has been exceeded. The device independently evaluates whether to release resources or continue transmission based on pre-configured parameters, eliminating the need for complex centralized control or manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Loss of energy

If survival time monitoring and control operations are performed, then resource waste is reduced, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource wasteVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic action by having the terminal device monitor survival time at specific intervals rather than continuously. The device checks transmission status and retransmission counts at defined periods (such as after each transmission attempt or at predetermined time thresholds), reducing processing overhead while maintaining effective resource management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs feedback mechanisms where the terminal device receives acknowledgment information about transmission status and uses this feedback to update its survival time counting. Based on this feedback, the device automatically adjusts its behavior (continuing transmission or releasing resources) without requiring extensive processing, thereby reducing time loss while preventing resource waste.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
