Dynamic MOI Generation for Network Element Data Synchronization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing data synchronization method in communication networks is inefficient as it requires the Network Elements (NE) to search and update all Managed Object Instances (MOIs) when a single attribute is modified, leading to repeated lookups and low efficiency, especially for MOIs with higher relevancy.
Innovation Solution
The method involves generating a dynamic MOI and operation identifier based on selected MOIs in an association relation, allowing the NE device to search and update only the MOI node matched with the attribute values of the dynamic MOI, reducing the lookup workload and improving efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the conventional incremental data synchronization method is used where the NE looks up all MOIs in the MO tree, then all MOIs can be updated, but the lookup workload is high and efficiency is low due to repeated lookups
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the MOI update process into two distinct phases: (1) The NE management device pre-processes and segments MOI data into incremental change sets with operation identifiers before transmission, and (2) The NE device receives and applies these segmented data sets. This segmentation eliminates the need for the NE to perform repeated lookups of all MOIs in the MO tree, as only the specific incremental changes are transmitted and applied directly.
2Manufacturing precision
If all MOIs satisfying a condition are transmitted to the NE for updating a single attribute, then the attribute can be updated, but unnecessary data transmission and processing occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the necessary incremental change information from the complete MOI data set. The NE management device identifies and extracts specific attribute changes that need to be updated, packages them with operation identifiers, and transmits only this extracted incremental data to the NE device. This extraction process eliminates the transmission of unnecessary MOI data while ensuring all required attribute updates are captured.
