Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication systems lack efficient methods for managing network slicing traffic descriptors, particularly in encoding character strings to index applications to appropriate network slices for improved resource utilization and performance.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) encoding of character strings in traffic descriptors to index applications with network slices, enabling UEs to establish connections with the appropriate network slices for data service.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If ASCII encoding is used to encode character strings in traffic descriptors, then application indexing accuracy to network slices is improved, but encoding and decoding complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by using ASCII encoding to transform character strings representing application identifiers into a standardized numerical format. This encoding scheme changes the representation parameters of application identifiers, enabling precise indexing and matching with network slice identifiers while maintaining a systematic and manageable encoding structure.
2Measurement precision
If character strings are encoded to represent application identifiers, then network slice matching accuracy is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-defining ASCII encoding schemes for application identifiers before the actual network slice selection process. The encoding rules and mappings are established in advance, allowing the UE to quickly encode application identifiers and match them with network slice identifiers without performing complex real-time analysis, thus reducing processing time while maintaining matching accuracy.
3Reliability
If ASCII encoding is implemented in UEs and base stations, then communication performance between UE and network slice is improved, but device resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the extraction principle by isolating the encoding and decoding operations to specific functional modules within the UE and base station. Rather than implementing comprehensive encoding mechanisms across the entire system, the patent extracts and applies ASCII encoding only to the traffic descriptor fields containing application identifiers, minimizing the scope of resource consumption while maintaining communication performance.

AI summary
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a traffic descriptor that includes a character string corresponding to an application of the UE. In some cases, the character string may be encoded to represent a sequence of characters in the character string to index or match applications to different network slices for communications for the UE. For example, the character string may be encoded using American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) encoding. After receiving and decoding the encoded traffic descriptor, the UE may identify a matching network slice for the application corresponding to the character string of the traffic descriptor. Subsequently, the UE may attempt to establish a connection with the matching network slice for communications for the application and may communicate with the matching network slice for the application based on a successful establishment of the connection.
