Capability Exposure Platform for Dynamic Network Resource Scheduling

The patent introduces a Capability Exposure Platform (CEP) as an intermediary component between the user equipment and the core network elements (PCRF, PCS). The CEP receives capability update requests from users, validates them against subscription information, and coordinates with network elements to implement the updates. This intermediary structure improves service quality by enabling user-initiated capability updates while managing network complexity by centralizing the exposure logic in a dedicated platform rather than distributing it across multiple network elements.

The patent implements preliminary validation and checking of capability update requests before full network processing. The CEP performs subscription information verification and request validation in advance, filtering out invalid or unauthorized requests before they reach the core network elements. This preliminary action enables fast response for legitimate requests while preventing unnecessary resource consumption from invalid requests, thus achieving real-time responsiveness without excessive network resource usage.

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the CEP continuously monitors capability update requests, validates them against user subscription information, and provides responses to both users and network elements. The system checks whether requested capabilities are authorized, verifies service provider credentials, and maintains control over network resource allocation. This feedback loop enables diverse third-party services while maintaining network security by preventing unauthorized capability changes and monitoring for potential security risks.
