Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication networks, particularly those using Project 25 standards, face challenges in efficiently managing and synchronizing inter-subsystem interface (ISSI) identity data across radio frequency subsystems, leading to delays and inefficiencies in updating unit and group information, which affects interoperability and communication reliability.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for programming ISSI identity data into radio units, utilizing push, pull, and hybrid models to automatically advertise and update unit and group information across radio frequency subsystems, enabling efficient distribution and synchronization through message sequence charts and system modules, including SIP protocols and XML data transmission.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual programming methods are used for ISSI identity data, then device complexity is reduced, but productivity and synchronization efficiency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveISSI identity data programming efficiencyVSAvoidprogramming system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automatic self-programming of ISSI identity data at the radio unit level. The radio units automatically receive and program ISSI identity data without requiring manual intervention from network administrators, thereby improving productivity while keeping the programming mechanism transparent and simple for end users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary programming mechanism that operates between the network administrator and radio units. This intermediary layer handles the complex data distribution and synchronization automatically, improving efficiency while shielding users from complexity through standardized interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Speed

If automatic advertising models are implemented for ISSI identity data distribution, then synchronization speed improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveISSI identity data synchronization speedVSAvoiddata distribution system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements three dynamic programming models (push, pull, and hybrid) that can adapt to different operational scenarios. These models enable flexible data distribution strategies where radio units can actively request updates or passively receive them based on network conditions and requirements, achieving fast synchronization without requiring permanently active complex infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The programming mechanism is designed to be universal and model-agnostic, working across different network configurations and scenarios. The same basic infrastructure supports multiple programming models (push, pull, hybrid), reducing overall system complexity while maintaining high synchronization speed through appropriate model selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Reliability

If frequent updates of ISSI identity data are performed, then communication reliability improves, but loss of time for update operations increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteroperability reliabilityVSAvoidupdate operation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements periodic update mechanisms where radio units can request ISSI identity data updates at scheduled intervals or event-driven moments. This periodic action ensures that updates occur frequently enough to maintain reliability while being spaced out to minimize time loss, allowing normal operations to continue between updates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables preliminary programming of ISSI identity data at the radio unit level before it is actually needed for interoperability operations. This preliminary action ensures data is ready when needed, maintaining reliability without requiring frequent interruptive updates during critical operations, thus reducing time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A method and device enables programming inter-subsystem interface (ISSI) identity data, which identifies at least one of units or groups operating in a communication network, into at least one unit associated with a first radio frequency subsystem. The method includes receiving the ISSI identity data at the first radio frequency subsystem from an ISSI communication node, wherein the ISSI identity data identifies at least one of unit information or group information associated with a second radio frequency subsystem operating in the communication network. At least a portion of the ISSI identity data is then programmed into the at least one unit associated with the first radio frequency subsystem.
