Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If sensing and measurement data are transmitted separately through control plane and user plane, then data transmission reliability is improved, but system complexity and resource overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines control plane data and user plane data into a single multiplexed transmission path. The multiplexer merges sensing/measurement data (control plane) with other user data (user plane) onto the same physical channel, reducing the number of separate transmission paths while maintaining data integrity through proper demultiplexing at the receiver end.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal transmission path that can carry both control plane data (sensing and measurement information) and user plane data (general user traffic) simultaneously. This multi-functional path eliminates the need for dedicated separate channels, reducing system complexity while preserving the reliability benefits of plane separation through logical multiplexing.
2Ease of operation
If separate control plane and user plane paths are used, then data management is simplified, but transmission efficiency and resource utilization decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The multiplexer combines multiple data streams (control plane sensing data, measurement data, and user plane data) into a single efficient transmission path, improving resource utilization and transmission efficiency by eliminating redundant channel overhead while maintaining manageable data flow through structured multiplexing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic multiplexing where the allocation of transmission resources between control plane and user plane data can be adjusted based on current network conditions, traffic demands, and priority requirements. This dynamic resource allocation optimizes transmission efficiency while maintaining manageable data flow control.
3Productivity
If multiplexing is implemented without dedicated management, then resource utilization improves, but data integrity and coordination between planes deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a multiplexer as an intermediary device that manages the multiplexing of control plane and user plane data. This intermediary ensures proper data integrity by maintaining clear demarcation between different data types, managing priority queues, and ensuring coordinated transmission while maximizing resource utilization through efficient channel sharing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the multiplexer monitors transmission status, data integrity metrics, and channel conditions to dynamically adjust multiplexing parameters. This feedback ensures that data integrity is maintained while resource utilization is optimized, allowing the system to respond to changing conditions and preserve reliability during multiplexed transmission.

AI summary
Procedures, methods, architectures, apparatuses, systems, devices, and computer program products may be used to communicate with a wireless network. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may be configured to multiplex the transmission of measurement data, as control plane data, between the WTRU and a network entity via a first wireless path and the transmission of measurement data, as user plane data, between the WTRU and the network entity via a second wireless path. Switching to/from the second wireless path may be based on a state of the first wireless path, a state of the network, a state of the WTRU and/or an amount of measurement data to be communicated by the WTRU or which has been communicated by the WTRU.
