Solution Overview

Problem

In communication systems, high load conditions lead to reduced Quality of Service (QoS), especially for low-priority services, due to inefficient timeslot utilization, causing UEs in high-quality wireless environments to be unable to access the system.

Innovation Solution

An admission method that assesses the timeslot utilization efficiency of UEs, allowing access to those with higher efficiency relative to existing UEs, thereby optimizing timeslot allocation and improving system throughput.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If control is exercised on the total number of timeslots to manage load, then system load control is achieved, but timeslot utilization efficiency decreases and high-quality UEs cannot access the system

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem load controlVSAvoidtimeslot utilization efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating treatment based on UE-specific timeslot utilization efficiency. Instead of uniform control, the system evaluates individual UE characteristics (timeslot utilization efficiency) and makes admission decisions accordingly, allowing high-efficiency UEs to access the system while maintaining load control through targeted management of specific UEs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If total timeslot occupancy ratio is used for admission control, then system load is managed, but timeslot utilization efficiency approaches the threshold and reduces overall system throughput

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem load managementVSAvoidsystem throughput
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the admission control parameter from total timeslot occupancy ratio to timeslot utilization efficiency. By using timeslot utilization efficiency as the decision parameter, the system can make more informed admission decisions that consider the actual efficiency of timeslot usage, thereby maintaining higher system throughput while still managing load effectively.

AI summary

An admission method, an admission apparatus, and a communication system are disclosed. The admission method includes: obtaining timeslot utilization efficiency R1 of a first User Equipment (UE) that needs to access a system and timeslot utilization efficiency R2 of a second UE that has accessed the system; judging whether the difference between R1 and R2 is greater than a first decision threshold; and allowing the first UE to access the system if determining that the difference between R1 and R2 is greater than the first decision threshold. The admission method provided herein is applicable to a communication system, and can improve the timeslot utilization efficiency and the throughput of the system.
