Solution Overview

Problem

The challenge of maintaining the continuity and integrity of on-chaining information in a communication system when communication nodes, particularly terminals, move within a network, especially across different radio access systems, is not adequately addressed by existing technologies.

Innovation Solution

A data processing method and apparatus that involve network elements exchanging configuration information for blockchain on-chaining, ensuring that collected on-chaining information is stored continuously and securely across network transitions, using methods like inter-base station and core network element interface handovers, and supporting technologies such as DAG.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If communication nodes move in the network to enable mobility and dynamic service, then adaptability and versatility are improved, but the continuity and integrity of on-chaining information cannot be guaranteed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenode mobilityVSAvoidinformation continuity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a core network element as an intermediary to manage blockchain configuration information and coordinate handover processes between base stations. This intermediary ensures that when communication nodes move between base stations, the blockchain on-chaining information remains continuous and intact, resolving the contradiction between node mobility and information reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary configuration of blockchain information in the core network element before handover occurs. By pre-configuring the necessary blockchain parameters and maintaining information records in advance, the system ensures that when a node moves and handover occurs, the on-chaining information can be seamlessly continued without interruption, thus maintaining reliability during mobility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If blockchain configuration is maintained centrally to ensure information integrity, then reliability is improved, but device complexity increases due to additional network elements and coordination mechanisms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation integrityVSAvoidnetwork element complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The core network element performs multiple functions: it manages blockchain configuration information, coordinates handover processes, and maintains information integrity. By consolidating these functions in a single existing network element rather than adding dedicated blockchain management infrastructure, the patent achieves reliable information management without proportionally increasing device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
