Cross-Network Information Transmission with In-Message Authorization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cross-network data collection processes in wireless communication are cumbersome due to the need for pre-registration of services in network repository functions and may fail to collect requested data, lacking a centralized determination of allowed data access.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for information transmission that involves receiving and verifying messages between network functions, allowing authorization and data access without pre-registration, ensuring only allowed data is provided by centralizing the determination function in a first network function.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If pre-registration of services in network repository function is required for cross-network data collection, then security and authorization control are improved, but process complexity and operational difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary authorization by embedding authorization information (first information) and data type specifications (second data information) directly into the data collection request message before transmission. This allows the network function to verify authorization in advance without requiring separate pre-registration steps, resolving the contradiction by maintaining security while simplifying the process
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the authorization verification function from the complex pre-registration process and integrates it directly into the data collection request flow. By taking out the essential authorization check and embedding it in the message exchange between network functions, the system maintains security control while eliminating cumbersome pre-registration steps
2Reliability
If pre-registration of services is required, then authorization management is improved, but time consumption and efficiency decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary authorization embedding in the data collection request message, including first information for authorization and second data information for data type specifications. This allows immediate verification without time-consuming pre-registration steps, resolving the contradiction by maintaining authorization management while reducing time consumption
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a token-based intermediary mechanism where the first information acts as a carrier of authorization credentials. This token serves as a mediator that enables quick verification of authorization status without requiring time-consuming interactions with network repository functions, thus maintaining security while reducing time consumption
3Reliability
If centralized determination of allowed data access is implemented, then data security is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the centralized determination function with the existing data collection request process. By combining authorization verification, data type validation, and data collection initiation into a single integrated message exchange flow, the system maintains strong data security control while avoiding the need for separate complex determination systems
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal message structure that handles multiple functions: authorization verification (first information), data type specification (second data information), and data collection request. This multi-functional approach maintains centralized security control while reducing system complexity by eliminating the need for separate specialized components for each function

AI summary
Disclosed in the present application are an information transmission method and apparatus, and a device and a storage medium. The method comprises: receiving a first message sent by a second network function, wherein the first message comprises requested first data information; verifying the first message; and sending a second message to the second network function, wherein the second message comprises first information indicating successful authorization and/or second data information indicating that the request is allowed.
