Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is no mature solution for optimizing the interaction between 5G networks and external vertical networks, which limits the efficiency of data packet communication between terminals in 5G networks and external network elements.
Innovation Solution
A network configuration method where a first network element in a mobile communication network receives service attributes from a second network element in an external network, such as data packet length or arrival interval information, to dynamically configure network operation parameters like QoS, time-frequency resources, and security mechanisms for optimized data transmission.

1Productivity
If traditional network configuration methods are used without external network information, then the network operation is simple, but the data packet transmission efficiency between 5G terminals and external network elements is suboptimal
Solution Approach 1:
The external network element pre-configures service attribute information (including data packet length, arrival interval, and QoS requirements) and sends it to the 5G network element in advance. This allows the 5G network to proactively configure appropriate network operation parameters before actual data transmission occurs, optimizing transmission efficiency without adding complex real-time decision-making requirements
Solution Approach 2:
A service attribute information message acts as an intermediary carrier between the external network element and the 5G network element. This message contains pre-configured service characteristics and QoS requirements, enabling the 5G network to understand external network needs without direct complex interaction, thus improving transmission efficiency while maintaining configuration simplicity
2Reliability
If network operation parameters are configured without considering service attributes, then the configuration process is fast, but the transmission delay and failure rate increase
Solution Approach 1:
Service attribute information including data packet length, arrival interval, and QoS requirements is pre-configured by the external network element and transmitted to the 5G network element before actual data transmission. This allows the 5G network to proactively configure appropriate network operation parameters (such as scheduling parameters, buffer sizes, and priority levels) based on the specific service characteristics, ensuring high transmission success rates while minimizing delays through optimized resource allocation
Solution Approach 2:
The external network element provides feedback about service attributes (data packet characteristics, arrival patterns, QoS requirements) to the 5G network element. This feedback mechanism enables the 5G network to adjust network operation parameters dynamically according to actual service needs, improving transmission reliability and reducing delays by matching network resources to service requirements
