Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems lack an efficient method for notifying entities about new management domain features, leading to delayed awareness and utilization of upgraded capabilities within management systems.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that determine the availability of new management domain features, identify relevant entities to notify, and transmit advertisements to these entities, ensuring timely awareness and utilization of new features.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If traditional notification methods are used in wireless communication systems, then system complexity is reduced, but the speed and timeliness of feature propagation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeature propagation speedVSAvoidnotification system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by maintaining a registered list of entities in advance. When a new feature becomes available, the notification is immediately propagated to all pre-registered entities without delay, enabling fast feature propagation while keeping the notification mechanism simple and efficient.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of information

If comprehensive notifications are sent to all entities, then feature awareness completeness is improved, but information loss is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeature awareness completenessVSAvoidnotification time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Entities are pre-registered and stored in a ready-to-notify list before any feature notification is needed. This preliminary setup ensures that when a new feature becomes available, all relevant entities can be notified immediately without delay, achieving both complete feature awareness and minimal notification time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If manual feature discovery is used, then system complexity is minimized, but productivity of feature utilization deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeature utilization efficiencyVSAvoidnotification mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service by automatically notifying all registered entities when new features become available. Entities receive proactive notifications and can immediately utilize new features without manual discovery or configuration, significantly improving feature utilization efficiency while maintaining simple system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
