Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If user plane-based connection is used for data transmission, then data transmission efficiency is improved, but network elements cannot parse or modify AI data streams effectively
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the data transmission path into multiple independent connections: user plane connection for general data transmission, control plane connection for control signaling, and AI connection specifically for AI data streams. This segmentation allows each connection type to be optimized for its specific function, enabling AI data streams to be parsed and modified by network elements while maintaining high transmission efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an AI connection as an intermediary transmission path between network elements. This AI connection serves as a dedicated channel that enables AI data streams to be selectively routed through network elements capable of parsing and modifying the data, without interfering with general user plane data transmission.
2Reliability
If control plane-based connection is used for data transmission, then control signaling is improved, but AI data stream transmission is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent separates control plane functions from data transmission functions by establishing an independent AI connection. This allows control plane connections to maintain their reliability for control signaling while the AI connection handles AI data stream transmission, enabling both control and AI processing capabilities to coexist without interference.
3Adaptability or versatility
If network elements parse and modify AI data streams, then AI processing flexibility is improved, but data transmission complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the transmission path into dedicated AI connections that are specifically configured for AI data stream processing. This segmentation isolates the complexity of parsing and modifying AI data streams from the general data transmission infrastructure, allowing network elements to process AI data flexibly without increasing overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by enabling only specific network elements along the AI connection path to parse and modify AI data streams, while other network elements simply forward the data. This selective processing capability provides AI processing flexibility at relevant locations without requiring all network elements to handle complex processing, thus managing overall system complexity.
