Solution Overview

Problem

In communications systems, security processing of data can degrade the performance of data transmission, as not all data requires security measures, leading to unnecessary processing and performance reduction.

Innovation Solution

An access network device determines whether to perform security processing on data based on auxiliary information from a core network device or terminal device, allowing for selective security processing to improve transmission performance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If security processing is performed on all data, then data security is improved, but data transmission performance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata securityVSAvoiddata transmission performance
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies selective security processing where different data packets receive different security treatments based on their specific requirements. The network device determines whether each data packet needs security processing based on auxiliary information, applying security measures only where necessary rather than uniformly to all data, thus resolving the contradiction between security and transmission performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If security processing is performed on unnecessary data, then security coverage is improved, but resource utilization deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity coverageVSAvoidresource utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and identifies the essential characteristic of data packets that determines whether security processing is needed. By using auxiliary information to determine security requirements, the system removes unnecessary security processing from data packets that do not require it, reducing wasted computational resources while maintaining security coverage for packets that actually need protection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
