Solution Overview

Problem

In 5G communications networks, identifying service types in multi-user and multi-service scenarios is challenging due to the complexity of big data processing, which affects intrusion detection, differentiated services, traffic monitoring, and quality of service guarantees.

Innovation Solution

A communication method utilizing big data analysis technology, where a database network element collects and synchronizes service transmission data and network data, sends this data to a data analytics network element to generate feature index lists, and uses these lists to identify service types, reducing delays through distributed deployment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If big data analysis technology is used to identify service types in 5G networks, then service type identification accuracy is improved, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the big data processing system into multiple specialized network elements: data collection network elements, data storage network elements, data processing network elements, and service type identification network elements. Each element handles specific tasks in the data flow, dividing the complex processing workload into manageable, specialized components that improve identification accuracy without overwhelming a single system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Loss of time

If distributed deployment is used to reduce delays, then response time is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing delayVSAvoiddeployment complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from centralized to distributed deployment across multiple network elements, adding spatial dimensionality to the system architecture. Data collection, storage, processing, and identification functions are distributed across geographically separated network elements, reducing processing delays through parallel operations while managing complexity through standardized inter-element communication protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Loss of information

If comprehensive data collection from multiple sources is performed, then identification completeness is improved, but data management complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice type information completenessVSAvoiddata management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces specialized intermediary network elements that mediate between diverse data sources and the analysis system. Data collection network elements aggregate data from multiple sources (user devices, network infrastructure, application servers), while data storage and processing elements standardize and manage this heterogeneous data, ensuring complete service type information is captured without overwhelming the management system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
