Dynamic URSP Provision via Real-Time Network Analytics
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The 5G mobile communication system lacks an effective method for dynamically adjusting user equipment (UE) route selection policies based on real-time network analytics, which hinders optimal network performance and automation.
Innovation Solution
A user equipment (UE) route selection policy (URSP) provision method that requests analytics using an analytics identifier, determines a URSP rule by adjusting components of the route selection descriptor based on analytics results, and provides the rule, incorporating factors like load level information, service experience, and session management congestion control experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If static URSP rules are used without real-time analytics, then device complexity is reduced, but network performance and service quality deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary system (network controller/analytics platform) that collects real-time network analytics data and processes URSP rule adjustments. This intermediary handles the complexity of real-time data processing and rule optimization, allowing user devices to benefit from dynamic URSP adjustments without bearing the computational burden, thus improving network performance while keeping device complexity manageable.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring URSP rules based on historical analytics data and network conditions. These pre-computed rules are stored and automatically applied when specific network scenarios are detected, enabling rapid response to changing network conditions without requiring complex real-time calculations at the device level, thereby maintaining both high network performance and low device complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If dynamic URSP adjustments based on real-time analytics are implemented, then service quality and congestion management are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the URSP adjustment process into distinct functional modules: analytics data collection, data processing and analysis, URSP rule generation, and rule distribution. Each module handles a specific aspect of the dynamic adjustment process, making the overall complex system more manageable and maintainable. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently while working together to improve service quality through adaptive URSP adjustments.
3Productivity
If real-time analytics processing is performed, then congestion management and route selection optimization are enhanced, but processing time and resource consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements periodic action by updating URSP rules at predetermined time intervals or when specific threshold conditions are met, rather than continuously processing analytics data in real-time. This periodic update mechanism reduces processing time and resource consumption while still maintaining effective congestion management and route selection optimization. The system balances the need for up-to-date routing decisions with the practical constraints of processing time and computational resources.
