Closed-Loop Network Management for Selective Subprocess Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing closed-loop control process management is inefficient and fails to meet diversified management requirements of network management service provider entities, as it is typically performed for a single closed-loop control process.
Innovation Solution
A network management method that allows for managing multiple closed-loop control processes by receiving request information to perform operations on both a primary and subordinate closed-loop control processes, including pause, stop, or resume operations, and optionally specifying range and pause points, enhancing flexibility and efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If management operation is performed on a single closed-loop control process, then the management system is simple to operate, but the management efficiency is low and cannot meet diversified management requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The request information structure is designed to be universal and multi-functional. It can simultaneously manage a primary closed-loop control process and optionally manage subordinate closed-loop control processes. The same request information can trigger management operations on one or multiple processes depending on the included parameters, making the management system versatile without requiring separate operation procedures for different management scenarios.
2Productivity
If management operation is extended to multiple closed-loop control processes, then management efficiency improves, but the request information structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The request information is segmented into distinct functional components: a primary process identifier, an optional indicator for subordinate process management, and optional parameters for selecting specific subordinate processes. This segmentation allows the system to handle simple single-process management with minimal information while supporting complex multi-process management when needed, without inherently increasing structure complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The request information structure implements partial action by including optional elements. The indicator for subordinate process management and the subordinate process selection parameters are only included when needed. This allows the system to use minimal request information for simple cases while having the capability to expand to more complex information structures when diversified management is required.
3Reliability
If management operation is performed on all subordinate closed-loop control processes, then management coverage is comprehensive, but resource waste increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements local quality by allowing selective application of management operations to specific subordinate closed-loop control processes based on their identifiers included in the request information. Instead of uniformly applying operations to all subordinate processes or none, the system can precisely target only the specific processes that need management, optimizing resource utilization while ensuring comprehensive coverage where required.

AI summary
This application discloses a network management method. The method includes: receiving first request information, where the first request information is used to request whether to perform a management operation on a first subordinate closed-loop control process set of a closed-loop control process in addition to performing the management operation on the closed-loop control process, and the closed-loop control process is used to manage a network entity or a network service; and performing the management operation based on the first request information. According to the solution of this application, the first request information is not only used to request to perform the management operation on the closed-loop control process, but also indicates whether to perform the management operation on the first subordinate closed-loop control process set of the closed-loop control process, so that a plurality of closed-loop control processes can be managed, thereby improving management efficiency of the closed-loop control processes.
