Network Service Information Access via Broadcast Location Pointer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently obtaining and accessing network service information, particularly in scenarios where human-readable service information is broadcast, leading to increased network resource usage and complexity.
Innovation Solution
The method involves a user equipment (UE) receiving broadcast information associated with network services, obtaining a location for accessing service information based on this information, and subsequently accessing the service information using that location.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If broadcast information containing service information is transmitted extensively, then network service accessibility is improved, but network resource usage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential location information (URL) from the complete service information and transmits it through broadcast. The UE uses this extracted location to access the full service information through HTTP protocols, thereby reducing broadcast resource consumption while maintaining service accessibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism where the broadcast information serves as a pointer or reference (location URL) rather than containing the complete service information. This intermediary approach allows the system to provide service accessibility while minimizing direct transmission of extensive service data over the network.
2Loss of information
If extensive service information is broadcast to all UEs, then information availability is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the critical location identifier (URL) from the complete service information for broadcast transmission. This extraction reduces the information volume in broadcast while maintaining availability, as UEs can retrieve complete service information using the obtained location through standard HTTP protocols.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses the broadcast location information as a reference copy that points to the full service information stored elsewhere. Instead of broadcasting complete service information to all UEs, the system provides a copied reference (URL) that UEs use to access the actual service information, thereby reducing broadcast complexity while maintaining information availability.
3Loss of information
If complete service information is transmitted via broadcast, then service description completeness is improved, but transmission overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential location information (URL) from the complete service information for broadcast transmission. This extraction significantly reduces transmission overhead while maintaining service description completeness, as the complete service information can be retrieved using the obtained location through efficient HTTP protocols.

AI summary
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive broadcast information associated with one or more services provided by a network. The UE may obtain a location for accessing service information that describes the one or more services based at least in part on the broadcast information. The CE may access the service information based at least in part on the location. Numerous other aspects are described.
