Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication systems face low service transmission compatibility due to UEs of different versions not being able to cooperatively work, with low-version UEs unable to receive data from high-version UEs and unclear compatibility between sending and receiving UE versions.

Innovation Solution

Determine the appropriate sending technology and resource for services based on the version of receiving UEs, ensuring that services are sent using technologies compatible with the receiving UE capabilities, and indicate version information for selective reception.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If high-version technology is used for service transmission, then service quality and efficiency are improved, but low-version UEs cannot receive the data due to version incompatibility

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice transmission efficiencyVSAvoidversion compatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the service transmission process by dividing it into multiple version-specific transmission paths. The sending UE transmits the same service data through different technologies (first technology for low-version UEs, second technology for high-version UEs) based on the receiving UE's version capability. This segmentation allows each transmission path to be optimized for its target version while maintaining overall system compatibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic adaptation by enabling the sending UE to dynamically select and switch between first and second sending technologies based on real-time detection of the receiving UE's version capability. This dynamic adjustment resolves the contradiction by allowing the system to optimize for high-version efficiency when appropriate while automatically degrading to low-version compatibility when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Device complexity

If version capability detection is not implemented, then communication process is simplified, but it cannot be determined whether high-version technology can be adopted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication process complexityVSAvoidtechnology selection reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by having the sending UE detect and determine the receiving UE's version capability before initiating service transmission. This pre-detection mechanism ensures that the appropriate sending technology is selected in advance, avoiding unreliable ad-hoc technology selection during transmission and ensuring reliable version-matched communication from the outset.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback by using the detected version capability information to guide the selection of sending technology. The system continuously monitors and adapts its transmission approach based on feedback about the receiving UE's capabilities, ensuring that the most reliable technology is always selected for each communication instance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

The present disclosure provides service sending and receiving methods and devices, and a storage medium. The method includes that: a sending technology corresponding to a service to be sent is determined, where the sending technology at least includes the first sending technology and the second sending technology which correspond to different versions of receiving User Equipment (UE) respectively; and a sending resource corresponding to the sending technology is determined, and the service to be sent is sent on the determined sending resource.
