Uplink Traffic Volume Reporting Using Uncompressed Size Thresholds
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless communication systems face inefficiencies in traffic volume reporting due to the use of compressed data sizes for uplink transmissions, which can lead to misinterpretation of reporting thresholds, resulting in suboptimal radio bearer and RRC state configurations, increased latency, and resource wastage.
Innovation Solution
User equipment (UE) compresses data associated with uplink transmissions to a compressed size and uses the uncompressed size for determining if a reporting threshold is satisfied, allowing for accurate traffic volume measurements and optimized radio resource allocation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If compressed data size is used for traffic volume reporting, then uplink transmission efficiency is improved, but reporting accuracy deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the data size information into two distinct parts: compressed data size (for transmission efficiency) and uncompressed data size (for accurate reporting). The UE maintains both sizes separately and uses the appropriate one for different purposes, thereby resolving the contradiction between transmission efficiency and reporting accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The uncompressed data size acts as an intermediary parameter that bridges the gap between compressed transmission and accurate reporting. The UE reports the uncompressed data size to the network while transmitting compressed data, allowing the network to make accurate radio bearer and RRC state configurations based on the true traffic volume.
2Quantity of substance
If compressed data size is used for threshold comparison, then resource allocation is reduced, but configuration accuracy deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent separates the usage of data size information: compressed size is used for actual transmission resource allocation, while uncompressed size is used for threshold comparison and configuration decisions. This segmentation ensures both resource efficiency and configuration accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter used for threshold comparison from compressed data size to uncompressed data size. This parameter change ensures that threshold evaluations reflect the true traffic volume, leading to accurate radio bearer and RRC state configurations while still benefiting from compressed transmission.
3Loss of substance
If compressed data size is used for reporting, then uplink overhead is reduced, but latency increases
Solution Approach 1:
The uncompressed data size serves as an intermediary parameter that enables accurate threshold evaluation without increasing reporting overhead. The UE continues to report compressed data size for transmission efficiency while using uncompressed data size internally for threshold comparison, avoiding additional signaling and reducing latency.

AI summary
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may compress data, of an uncompressed size, associated with an uplink transmission to a compressed size. The UE may transmit a message based at least in part on the uncompressed size of the data associated with the uplink transmission satisfying a threshold. The UE may transmit the compressed data in the compressed size. Numerous other aspects are provided.
