Integrated Access System Merging Broadband Narrowband Backplanes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current access systems require separate broadband and narrowband backplanes, leading to increased costs and complexity, as they cannot efficiently support both broadband and narrowband services simultaneously without additional infrastructure, and user service interfaces are not flexible enough to adapt to varying user access services.
Innovation Solution
An integrated access system with a main control switching interface module that includes both broadband and narrowband service processing capabilities, using broadband buses for communication and processing both types of services, allowing for simultaneous support of VoIP and TDMoP (TDM service over a packet-based network) with dual core processing on user interface boards, reducing system complexity and cost.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If separate broadband and narrowband backplanes are used, then both broadband and narrowband services can be supported, but system complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges separate broadband and narrowband backplanes into a single integrated backplane that can handle both service types. The main control switching interface module consolidates functions previously distributed across separate systems, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining the ability to support both broadband and narrowband services simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated backplane is designed with universal capabilities to handle both broadband and narrowband traffic through a single infrastructure. The system uses configurable interface modules that can adapt to different service requirements, making the backplane multi-functional rather than requiring dedicated separate systems for each service type.
2Productivity
If separate broadband and narrowband backplanes are used, then service processing capability is maintained, but cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple infrastructure elements (broadband backplane, narrowband backplane, separate control modules) into a single integrated infrastructure. This consolidation reduces the total quantity of hardware components while preserving full service processing capability through the unified main control switching interface module.
Solution Approach 2:
The single integrated backplane is designed to perform multiple functions - handling both broadband and narrowband services simultaneously. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate dedicated infrastructure for each service type, reducing overall infrastructure quantity while maintaining comprehensive service processing capability.
3Stability of the object's composition
If user interface boards are fixed in configuration, then system stability is maintained, but adaptability to varying user access services decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic configurability in user interface boards, allowing their functions to be changed based on service requirements. The main control switching interface module can dynamically allocate and reconfigure interface board capabilities to match varying user access services, providing both stability through controlled changes and adaptability through flexible reconfiguration.
Solution Approach 2:
The system allows parameter changes in interface board configurations without requiring physical hardware changes. The main control switching interface module can modify operational parameters, allocation schemes, and functional assignments of interface boards to adapt to different service requirements while maintaining system stability through controlled parameter adjustment rather than structural changes.

AI summary
An integrated access system and method and an integrated access module are provided. The system includes a broadband service interface module (310), a narrowband service interface module (320), and a main control switching interface module (10). The main control switching module (10) includes a broadband service switching module (110) providing a broadband uplink interface and a narrowband service processing module (120) providing a narrowband uplink interface and performing narrowband service data process. The broadband service switching module (110) is connected to the broadband service interface module (310) and the narrowband service interface module (320) though broadband buses (21), so as to collect and switch the narrowband service data. The broad band service switching module (110) is connected with network though the broadband uplink interface, and the narrowband service processing module (120) is connected with network though the narrowband uplink interface. Thus, the broadband service and the narrowband service can be accessed simultaneously.
