Wireless Sensing Service Negotiation Between User Equipment and 5G Networks
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile communication networks, particularly 5G networks, lack assurance in providing requested sensing service quality and the ability to negotiate such quality effectively.
Innovation Solution
A method where user equipment transmits a sensing request message, receives a response indicating an offered service, and confirms the service, allowing negotiation of sensing service quality through mechanisms like application servers or network layers, with support from core network functions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the network provides sensing services based on operator policy without negotiation mechanisms, then service provision is simplified, but service quality assurance and flexibility are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic service quality negotiation between the sensing function and user equipment. The network can adaptively adjust sensing parameters (refresh rate, period of time, sensing KPIs, geographical location) based on real-time conditions and user requirements, transforming the static operator-policy-based service provision into a dynamic, negotiable process that balances simplicity with flexibility.
2Reliability
If the network uses fixed sensing service parameters without user equipment confirmation, then service delivery is more reliable, but user-specific quality requirements cannot be met
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the sensing function provides sensing response messages to the user equipment, and the user equipment can send sensing request confirmation messages. This closed-loop feedback system allows the network to reliably deliver services while continuously adapting to user-specific quality requirements, ensuring both service delivery assurance and precise quality matching.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the network implements comprehensive sensing service negotiation, then service quality can be customized, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal sensing service negotiation framework that can handle multiple sensing parameters (refresh rate, period of time, sensing KPIs, geographical location) through a standardized message exchange protocol. This multi-functional approach allows comprehensive service quality customization without proportionally increasing system complexity, as the same negotiation mechanism handles diverse sensing requirements.
