UE Processing Time Reporting for Dynamic Scheduling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In existing mobile communication systems, the fixed processing time assumption for User Equipment (UE) affects system scheduling, which is inadequate as different UEs have varying processing capabilities and numerologies, leading to inefficiencies in communication performance.
Innovation Solution
The communication method involves the UE reporting its supported processing times to the network device, allowing for dynamic scheduling based on individual UE capabilities and configurations, thereby improving communication performance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a fixed processing time (e.g., 3ms) is assumed for all UEs, then system scheduling is simplified and standardized, but communication performance deteriorates when UEs have different processing capabilities or numerologies
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by transitioning from a static fixed processing time assumption to a dynamic UE-specific processing time determination. The network device determines processing times individually for each UE based on their capabilities and configurations, allowing the scheduling to adapt dynamically to different UE characteristics while maintaining standardized procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different processing times to different UEs based on their specific capabilities and configurations. Instead of a uniform processing time for all UEs, each UE receives a tailored processing time determination that reflects its local characteristics, thereby optimizing communication performance for each UE individually.
2Productivity
If different processing times are determined for different UEs based on their capabilities, then communication performance is improved, but system scheduling complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent resolves this contradiction by implementing a dynamic determination mechanism where processing times are adjusted based on UE capabilities and configurations. This dynamic approach allows the system to optimize communication performance for each UE while maintaining a standardized framework that prevents scheduling complexity from becoming unmanageable.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the processing time parameter based on UE-specific characteristics such as numerology and processing capabilities. The network device determines appropriate processing time values by changing this parameter according to each UE's configuration, thereby improving performance without requiring complete restructuring of the scheduling system.
3Adaptability or versatility
If UE processing time varies with numerology and capabilities, then tailored scheduling can be implemented, but the fixed scheduling framework of existing systems becomes inadequate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by introducing flexibility into the scheduling framework through UE-specific processing time determination. The framework remains stable and standardized in its overall structure, but dynamically adapts to different UE capabilities and numerologies by adjusting processing times individually, thus maintaining both stability and adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by allowing UE-specific variations in processing time within the standardized scheduling framework. Each UE receives localized adaptation based on its capabilities while the overall system framework remains stable and consistent, resolving the conflict between adaptability and framework stability.
