Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The 5G communication system does not currently support terminals initiating Time Sensitive Communications (TSC) services, which are essential for industrial automation and manufacturing applications requiring high time precision.
Innovation Solution
A method and terminal for initiating TSC services, where a terminal transmits request information with time parameters to a network node, receives modified response information, and performs the TSC service accordingly, enabling TSC service initiation by the terminal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the 5G communication system follows the conventional core network architecture where only the network side can initiate TSC services, then the network control is centralized and stable, but the terminal cannot initiate TSC services which limits flexibility and responsiveness for industrial applications
Solution Approach 1:
The patent inverts the traditional service initiation model by enabling the terminal (UE) to initiate TSC services instead of only the network side. The terminal sends a service request message containing time sensitivity parameters to the network node, which then processes and responds to the terminal's initiation, fundamentally reversing the conventional direction of service initiation control.
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring and sending service request information including time parameters before the actual TSC service execution. This allows the network to prepare appropriate resources and parameters in advance, enabling the terminal to proactively initiate services rather than passively waiting for network provisioning.
2Measurement precision
If the terminal initiates TSC service with detailed time parameters, then the time precision for industrial applications is improved, but the signaling overhead and processing complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and separates the time parameter configuration into a dedicated service request message structure. By isolating time sensitivity parameters (such as time precision requirements, synchronization needs) into specific fields within the service request, the system efficiently transmits only the necessary precision information without redundant data, reducing overall signaling overhead while maintaining high time precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts time parameters based on the specific TSC service requirements. The terminal specifies precise time parameter requirements in the service request, and the network node modifies and optimizes these parameters during processing. This parameter adaptation allows the system to achieve high time precision for critical industrial applications while optimizing signaling efficiency by not always using maximum precision levels.

AI summary
Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method and a terminal for initiating a time sensitive communication (TSC) service, and a storage medium. The terminal transmits request information for a TSC service to a network node, the request information including time parameters of the TSC service. The network node transmits response information including modified time parameters to the terminal, so that the terminal may perform the TSC service based on the response information, thereby implementing the TSC service initiated by the terminal.
