5G Media Streaming Uplink Contribution Reporting Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The 5G media streaming architecture lacks a method for reporting uplink streaming activities, despite defining consumption reporting for downlink streaming, which is essential for user equipment activity monitoring and service optimization.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for reporting user equipment activity during a 5G Media Streaming (5GMS) uplink streaming session, involving initializing contribution reporting, transmitting contribution reports based on user preferences, and generating a final report upon session termination, utilizing a processor and memory configured to execute program code for media streaming operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If contribution reporting is implemented for uplink streaming, then user activity monitoring capability is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The contribution reporting mechanism is segmented into distinct components: initialization phase, periodic reporting phase, and final reporting phase. Each phase handles specific tasks independently, making the complex reporting system manageable and easier to implement in the 5G network architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
Contribution reporting is initialized during the media streaming session establishment, preparing all necessary parameters and configurations before actual streaming occurs. This preliminary setup includes configuring reporting intervals, thresholds, and target destinations, which simplifies the execution phase by having all parameters pre-established.
2Measurement precision
If periodic contribution reports are transmitted during streaming, then real-time monitoring is improved, but network bandwidth consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of continuous reporting, the system uses periodic action by transmitting contribution reports at configured intervals during the streaming session. This periodic mechanism provides sufficient real-time monitoring capability while dramatically reducing network bandwidth consumption compared to continuous reporting, as reports are sent only at discrete time points rather than continuously.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements partial reporting by transmitting only the necessary contribution information at configured intervals rather than all possible data continuously. This partial action approach provides adequate monitoring precision for service optimization while minimizing unnecessary bandwidth consumption that would result from complete continuous reporting.
3Device complexity
If contribution reporting is disabled, then system complexity is reduced, but service optimization capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The contribution reporting mechanism operates autonomously during media streaming sessions, automatically initializing, transmitting periodic reports, and generating final reports without requiring complex external control systems. This self-service capability enables service optimization through automated contribution tracking while maintaining relatively simple system architecture, as the reporting function is embedded within the existing 5GMS framework.

AI summary
Systems, devices, and methods for reporting user equipment activity during a 5G Media Streaming (5GMS) uplink streaming session are provided, which may include initializing contribution reporting based on selected user preferences during media streaming during the 5GMS uplink streaming session, and transmitting a contribution report associated with the media streaming during the 5GMS uplink streaming session. The approach may further include generating a final contribution report associated with the media streaming during the 5GMS uplink streaming session in response to receiving a signal to stop media streaming.
