Solution Overview

Problem

Current technologies for opening wireless pipe capabilities are still in the stage of technological innovation and exploration, lacking effective solutions for converging and supplying wireless pipe network elements' capabilities to upper-layer applications, which limits the diversification of services and user experiences.

Innovation Solution

A capability openness gateway (COGW) converges capabilities of wireless pipe network elements through a second interface and supplies them to a capability openness object through a first interface, enabling the use of these capabilities, thereby implementing wireless pipe capability openness.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If wireless pipe capabilities are opened to upper-layer applications, then service diversification and user experience are improved, but the lack of effective convergence and supply mechanisms limits the realization of these benefits

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice diversificationVSAvoidcapability opening mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a capability openness gateway as an intermediary component that bridges wireless pipe network elements and upper-layer applications. This gateway converges capabilities from multiple wireless pipe network elements and supplies them to capability openness objects, thereby enabling service diversification without requiring complex direct integration between all components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The capability openness gateway is designed as a universal platform that can converge and supply various types of wireless pipe capabilities (bandwidth, latency, reliability, etc.) to multiple different upper-layer applications. This multi-functional approach allows a single gateway to serve diverse service requirements, improving adaptability while managing complexity centrally.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple wireless pipe network elements are integrated to provide diverse services, then capability versatility is improved, but the system complexity for managing and supplying these capabilities increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecapability versatilityVSAvoidsystem management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple wireless pipe network elements into a unified capability openness gateway. This gateway consolidates the capabilities of various network elements (bandwidth control, latency management, reliability assurance) into a single management point, thereby achieving capability versatility while reducing the complexity of managing each element separately.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The gateway acts as a mediator between the complex backend network elements and the frontend applications. It abstracts the complexity of managing multiple network elements by providing a standardized interface for capability supply, thus improving versatility without proportionally increasing management complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
