Solution Overview

Problem

Network congestion occurs due to conflicts when multiple user equipments simultaneously attempt to send data on shared wireless resources, leading to inefficient resource utilization.

Innovation Solution

User equipment obtains competitive resource configuration information to determine a dedicated resource for data transmission, reducing the likelihood of conflicts by configuring distinct resources for each user equipment based on load thresholds and distribution rules.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If multiple user equipments share a wireless resource to improve resource utilization, then resource utilization is improved, but network congestion occurs due to conflicts when multiple user equipments simultaneously send data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilizationVSAvoidnetwork congestion
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the shared wireless resource into multiple dedicated resources assigned to different user equipments. Each user equipment is configured with specific time-frequency resources for data transmission, thereby segmenting the resource access space and reducing simultaneous conflicts while maintaining overall resource utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements local quality by assigning different resource configurations to different user equipments based on their specific conditions. Each user equipment receives customized resource allocation (different time slots, frequency blocks, or resource blocks), creating localized resource quality differences that reduce conflicts while optimizing each user's transmission performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If user equipment waits for a random time period before sending data to reduce conflict probability, then conflict probability is reduced, but transmission delay increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconflict probabilityVSAvoidtransmission delay
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring dedicated resources for each user equipment before data transmission occurs. The network device allocates specific time-frequency resources in advance, so user equipments know exactly when and where to transmit without needing to wait or perform random backoff, thereby eliminating transmission delay while maintaining low conflict probability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamics by allowing the network device to dynamically adjust resource allocations based on real-time network conditions, user equipment states, and traffic demands. This dynamic resource management enables the system to adaptively optimize both conflict reduction and transmission timing, avoiding fixed random waiting periods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If user equipment individually performs resource listening and random waiting, then each user equipment can independently access resources, but multiple user equipments may simultaneously detect idle state and cause conflicts

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindependent resource accessVSAvoidconflict occurrence
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces the network device as an intermediary that centrally manages resource allocation. Instead of user equipments independently performing resource listening and random waiting, the network device acts as a mediator that assigns dedicated resources to each user equipment, coordinating access to eliminate simultaneous conflicts while maintaining independent access capability for each user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where user equipments report their transmission status and resource usage to the network device, which then adjusts future resource allocations accordingly. This feedback loop enables the system to learn from past conflicts and optimize resource assignment, reducing the likelihood of repeated conflicts while preserving independent access operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of wireless communications technologies and provide a data sending method, a resource measurement method, an apparatus, and a device. The method includes: generating, by user equipment, communication service data; obtaining competitive resource configuration information used for sending the communication service data; determining, according to the competitive resource configuration information, a competitive resource configured for the user equipment; and sending the communication service data on the competitive resource. Compared with a scenario in which all user equipments simultaneously use a same resource, in the present invention, competitive resources are respectively and flexibly configured for multiple user equipments that perform communication services. Therefore, a quantity of user equipments that simultaneously use a same competitive resource is reduced, and a problem of network congestion caused by a conflict occurring when multiple user equipments perform communication services is resolved. When the user equipment sends the data on the configured competitive resource, a probability of a conflict is reduced, and network congestion is relieved.
