Solution Overview

Problem

Current 5G mobile communication systems face excessive network traffic and resource consumption due to continuous listening for notification messages from vertical application layer servers, leading to inefficient use of computing resources and power on user equipment.

Innovation Solution

Implement a high-level procedure using HTTP to enable the SNM-S to push notification messages to the SNM-C, with a defined message format and encoding/decoding processes for managing push notifications, allowing the SNM-C to share a PUSH callback-URL for future message delivery.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If continuous listening for notification messages is implemented, then notification delivery is ensured, but network traffic and resource consumption increase excessively

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenotification deliveryVSAvoidpower consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system transitions from continuous listening to periodic/pushed actions where notifications are delivered only when needed. The SNM-S pushes notifications to SNM-C on demand, and UEs receive notifications only when pushed, eliminating continuous resource consumption while maintaining reliable delivery.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The SNM-S and SNM-C act as intermediary components between VAL servers and UEs. They manage notification channels and handle message pushing, allowing UEs to avoid continuous listening while ensuring reliable notification delivery through the intermediary management layer.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If continuous listening for notification messages is implemented, then notification delivery is ensured, but network traffic increases excessively

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenotification deliveryVSAvoidnetwork traffic

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The notification system uses push-based periodic action where messages are transmitted only when needed rather than through continuous listening. This reduces network traffic by eliminating redundant connection maintenance and unnecessary message exchanges while ensuring reliable delivery when notifications are actually pushed.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #19Periodic action

3Reliability

If continuous listening for notification messages is implemented, then notification delivery is ensured, but computing resources are consumed inefficiently

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenotification deliveryVSAvoidcomputing resource efficiency

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces continuous computing resources dedicated to listening with periodic push-based operations. The SNM-S and SNM-C manage notification channels and push messages only when needed, significantly improving computing resource efficiency while maintaining reliable notification delivery.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #19Periodic action

4Productivity

If push notification mechanism is implemented, then resource efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveresource efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The SNM-S and SNM-C serve as intermediary components that manage the complexity of push notification mechanisms. They handle channel management, message encoding/decoding, and coordination between VAL servers and UEs, thereby improving resource efficiency while containing system complexity within the management layer rather than requiring complex changes at UE level.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
