Multi-Network Wireless Scheduling Without Gap Time Windows
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In scenarios where a terminal device needs to perform operations across multiple networks, network energy-saving measures in one network can adversely affect operations in other networks, leading to resource waste and inefficient communication.
Innovation Solution
The terminal device sends first information to a first network device indicating that no gaps are configured in specific time windows based on energy-saving information from a second network device, allowing the first network to adjust its communication with the terminal device accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If network energy-saving measures are implemented in one network, then energy consumption is reduced, but communication operations in other networks are adversely affected
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal device sends indication information in advance to the first network device, notifying it of the time windows when gaps should not be configured due to energy-saving operations in the second network. This preliminary notification allows the first network to proactively adjust its scheduling and avoid configuring gaps during these critical time windows, ensuring communication reliability is maintained while energy-saving measures are implemented.
2Adaptability or versatility
If gaps are configured for multi-network operations, then communication operations across multiple networks are enabled, but resource wastage occurs
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of configuring gaps universally across all time windows, the indication information specifies particular time windows where gaps should not be configured. This allows the first network to maintain normal gap configurations in time windows where they are beneficial for multi-network operations, while avoiding gap configurations in time windows when the terminal is performing energy-saving operations in the second network, thereby reducing resource wastage while preserving multi-network operation capability.
3Loss of energy
If energy-saving measures are implemented, then power consumption is reduced, but data transmission rates are affected
Solution Approach 1:
By sending indication information in advance about time windows when energy-saving operations will occur, the first network can proactively adjust its data transmission scheduling. This allows the network to maintain higher data transmission rates during time windows when gaps are not needed, while still implementing energy-saving measures during designated time windows, thereby balancing power consumption reduction with data transmission rate maintenance.
