Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The 5G system lacks a technical solution for recording usage information during live broadcast communication by intra-group terminals, hindering effective charging processing.
Innovation Solution
A method is introduced where usage information reporting configurations are sent by network devices to terminals, allowing them to report usage information generated from direct communication, enabling collection and charging processing for terminals in 5G systems.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If direct communication is used between terminals in 5G system, then communication efficiency is improved, but usage information recording capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a network device as an intermediary to collect and record usage information generated during direct communication between terminals. The network device receives usage information from terminals and stores it centrally, enabling both direct communication efficiency and comprehensive usage recording without requiring the communication path itself to handle recording.
2Adaptability or versatility
If usage information reporting configuration is implemented, then charging processing capability is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the charging processing system into distinct functional components: terminals that generate usage information, network devices that collect and store usage information, and charging processing modules that utilize the stored information. This segmentation allows charging processing capability to be added without requiring all system components to be complex, as each component has a specialized, simplified function.
