Solution Overview

Problem

In Extended Reality (XR) services, packet loss handling leads to inconsistencies in traffic statistics between the core network and terminal sides due to the discard of P frames associated with undeliverable I frames, causing resource waste and statistical discrepancies.

Innovation Solution

A packet loss handling method involving nodes exchanging packet discard or loss-related information through various communication protocols (CP, UP, GTP-U) to synchronize traffic and cost statistics, using bearer IDs, timestamps, and packet loss rates to manage packet handling and avoid inconsistencies.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If P frames associated with undeliverable I frames are discarded to avoid resource waste, then wireless interface resource efficiency is improved, but traffic statistics consistency between core network and terminal is deteriorated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewireless interface resource efficiencyVSAvoidtraffic statistics consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the terminal reports packet loss information and the core network adjusts its packet discarding behavior accordingly. This allows the system to maintain resource efficiency while compensating for discarded packets through feedback-based statistics alignment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes parameters such as packet discarding thresholds, reporting triggers, and statistics calculation methods to balance resource efficiency with statistical accuracy. By dynamically adjusting these parameters, the system can adapt to different network conditions while maintaining consistency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Loss of energy

If packet discarding is performed to handle packet loss, then resource waste is reduced, but statistical accuracy between network sides is deteriorated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource waste reductionVSAvoidtraffic statistics accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces intermediary mechanisms such as packet loss reporting messages and statistics adjustment functions that mediate between the packet discarding action and the statistics measurement. These intermediaries ensure that discarded packets are accounted for in statistics while still benefiting from resource savings.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring packet loss handling parameters, reporting thresholds, and statistics adjustment rules before packet discarding occurs. This allows the system to prepare compensation mechanisms in advance, ensuring statistical accuracy is maintained even when packets are discarded.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
