Alias Management Entity for Dynamic 3GPP LTE Alias Operations
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing mission critical service systems based on the 3GPP LTE system face low alias management efficiency and heavy system processing load due to the need to preconfigure aliases in user configuration files during system deployment, which hampers registration, activation, deactivation, and takeover processes.
Innovation Solution
A functional alias management entity that receives and processes management requests without modifying user configuration files, allowing for efficient alias registration, activation, deactivation, and takeover by determining user rights through subscription or policy information, thereby reducing system load and improving efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If aliases are preconfigured in user configuration files during system deployment, then system structure is organized and manageable, but alias management efficiency becomes low and system processing load increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent separates alias management from user configuration files by introducing a dedicated alias management module. This module independently handles alias registration, activation, deactivation, and takeover operations without requiring processing of user configuration files, thus improving alias management efficiency while reducing system processing load.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an alias management module as an intermediary component between users and the alias system. This module provides specialized handling for alias operations, eliminating the need to process user configuration files for each alias management task, thereby resolving the contradiction between structured configuration and management efficiency.
2Reliability
If user configuration files are processed for each alias operation, then configuration integrity is maintained, but processing time increases and efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts alias management functionality from the user configuration file processing workflow. By creating a separate alias management module that handles alias operations independently, the system maintains configuration integrity through dedicated management while eliminating the time-consuming process of reading and processing user configuration files for each alias operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary organization of alias data structures in the alias management module during system initialization. This preliminary setup enables efficient alias operations without requiring subsequent processing of user configuration files, thus maintaining reliability while reducing processing time for alias management tasks.
3Adaptability or versatility
If dynamic alias registration is allowed, then system flexibility improves, but system processing load increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an alias management module as a specialized intermediary that handles dynamic alias operations. This module provides the necessary flexibility for dynamic registration, activation, deactivation, and takeover of aliases while isolating these operations from the main system processing workflow, thereby maintaining system flexibility without proportionally increasing overall system processing load.
Solution Approach 2:
The alias management module implements self-service mechanisms for managing alias operations. By handling alias registration and management tasks independently without requiring comprehensive processing of user configuration files, the system achieves dynamic flexibility while keeping processing load contained within the specialized module rather than affecting the entire system.

AI summary
Embodiments of this application relate to the communications field, and disclose an alias management method and device to resolve a problem in the prior art that an alias cannot be dynamically managed. A specific solution is as follows: A functional alias management entity receives a management request message sent by a first client, where the management request message includes an identity of a user and information about an alias requested to be managed; and the functional alias management entity sends a management response message to the first client when the user has an alias management right, where the management response message includes the identity of the user, and information about an alias that is successfully managed. The management may be one or more of registration, activation, deactivation, takeover, and the like. The embodiments of this application are used in an alias management process.
