Diameter Binding Record Creation via Pre-validation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current Diameter-based network service nodes face difficulties in identifying and correlating subsequent signaling messages with initial transactions, leading to incorrect forwarding of messages to network service nodes, resulting in inefficient processing and storage resource usage.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for dynamically learning Diameter binding information by using a Diameter signaling routing node to assign or select network service nodes based on load balancing algorithms and confirming processing ability before creating binding records, minimizing the need for excessive updates and re-routing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If Diameter binding records are created without confirming processing ability, then routing speed is improved, but message forwarding accuracy deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by confirming the network service node's processing ability through test messages before creating binding records. This ensures that only nodes capable of processing specific message types are assigned, preventing incorrect forwarding while maintaining efficient routing through pre-validation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where response messages from network service nodes confirm processing ability. The Diameter routing node uses this feedback information to dynamically learn and update binding records, ensuring accurate message forwarding while maintaining routing efficiency through continuous validation.
2Reliability
If binding records are frequently updated to maintain accuracy, then message forwarding accuracy is improved, but system overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by updating binding records only when necessary - specifically when processing ability confirmation results are obtained. This selective updating approach maintains accurate message forwarding while minimizing unnecessary system overhead and resource consumption associated with frequent updates.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service through dynamic learning where the Diameter routing node automatically updates binding records based on processing ability confirmations from network service nodes. This automated mechanism reduces manual intervention and optimizes the balance between maintaining accuracy and minimizing update overhead.
3Productivity
If load balancing algorithms are used to assign network service nodes, then resource utilization is improved, but binding information accuracy may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making binding information dynamic rather than static. The binding records are continuously learned and updated based on actual processing ability confirmations from network service nodes. This allows the system to dynamically adapt to load balancing decisions while maintaining accurate binding information, resolving the contradiction between resource utilization and accuracy.

AI summary
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for dynamically learning Diameter binding information are disclosed. According to one method, the method comprises receiving one or more response messages associated with the one or more Diameter signaling messages, determining, based on information contained in the one or more response messages, whether at least one of the one or more network service nodes was able to successfully process the one or more Diameter signaling messages, and generating, in response to determining that at least one of the one or more network service nodes was able to successfully process at least one of the one or more Diameter request messages, a Diameter binding record that associates the identification information and the at least one of the one or more network service nodes.
