Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication technologies struggle to support time-sensitive communication effectively due to shared network resources, delays, and jitters, which are not adequately addressed in current time-sensitive networking solutions.

Innovation Solution

The method involves transmitting capability information and delay-related information of User Equipment (UE) and anchor gateways to support time-sensitive communication. This includes identifying bridge identification, bandwidth, and propagation delays to reserve dedicated resources for time-sensitive data streams.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If network transmission resources are shared, then resource utilization efficiency is improved, but transmission delays and jitters occur for time-sensitive data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilization efficiencyVSAvoidtransmission delay
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments network resources by introducing dedicated resources for time-sensitive data streams separate from shared resources. The network is divided into time-sensitive resource domains and non-time-sensitive resource domains, allowing time-sensitive data to have guaranteed transmission resources while other data uses shared resources, thus resolving the contradiction between resource utilization and transmission delay.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-reserving dedicated transmission resources for time-sensitive data streams before actual data transmission. The network performs advance resource allocation and configuration for time-sensitive services, ensuring that when time-sensitive data arrives, dedicated resources are already prepared, eliminating delays caused by resource contention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of time

If dedicated resources are reserved for time-sensitive data streams, then transmission delay is reduced, but resource utilization efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission delayVSAvoidresource utilization efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic resource allocation where the network can flexibly adjust resource allocation based on actual service demands. When time-sensitive services are active, dedicated resources are allocated; when inactive, these resources can be dynamically released or reallocated, making the resource management adaptive rather than static, thus improving overall resource utilization while maintaining low latency when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by providing different resource allocation strategies for different network scenarios. Time-sensitive data streams receive dedicated resources with guaranteed performance, while non-time-sensitive streams use shared resources. This localized differentiation allows the network to optimize for time-critical performance where needed without sacrificing overall resource efficiency across the entire network.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Measurement precision

If capability information and delay information are collected and transmitted, then resource reservation accuracy is improved, but network signaling overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource reservation accuracyVSAvoidsignaling overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by selectively collecting and transmitting only the necessary capability information and delay information required for time-sensitive service resource reservation. Rather than exchanging all possible network parameters, the system focuses on the specific metrics needed for time-sensitive scheduling (such as propagation delay, processing delay, and capability flags), reducing signaling overhead while maintaining sufficient accuracy for resource reservation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
