Database Failover Sessions for Service-Based Architecture Continuity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication systems face significant downtime due to repository and database interruptions, which current technologies fail to reliably prevent or reduce, leading to prolonged network disruptions.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that provide backup communication sessions and routing information through a backup network component or database, ensuring continuous communication by automatically switching to local provisioning parameters when primary components lose connectivity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single primary database is used to store routing and configuration information, then the system structure is simple, but the network experiences large periods of downtime when the database loses connection
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a backup database that is a copy of the primary database, storing identical routing and configuration information. When the primary database becomes unavailable, network components automatically switch to the backup database, eliminating downtime while maintaining system simplicity through the use of duplicate data storage
2Reliability
If the repository maintains continuous connection to the network for real-time information updates, then the routing information is current, but any connection loss causes complete network interruption
Solution Approach 1:
The backup database is pre-configured with routing and configuration information before the primary database fails. Network components are pre-programmed with fallback logic to automatically switch to the backup database upon detecting primary database unavailability, allowing continuous operation without interruption to information flow
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the operational parameter from single-point dependency to multi-point redundancy by implementing a failover mechanism that switches the active database from primary to backup state, maintaining information accessibility while adapting to connection losses
Data Source
AI summary
An apparatus is communicatively coupled to a plurality of databases in a service-based architecture and comprises a memory and a processor. The memory stores multiple configuration commands. The processor is configured to generate a request to establish a communication session in which a network component accesses a first database and a second database based at least in part upon a configuration command of the configuration commands. The network component exchanges connectivity signals with the first database and the second database. The first database provides database operations in response to the connectivity signals exchanged with the network component. The first database reports to the second database that the database operations are provided. The processor is further configured to, in response to determining that the communication session between the network component and the first database is lost, maintain the communication session to access the second database.
