Solution Overview

Problem

Current 5G mobile communication technologies lack standardized procedures for announcing and de-announcing multicast-broadcast services (MBS) sessions, particularly in the Service Enabler Architecture Layer (SEAL) network resource management, which is essential for managing group communications and optimizing data delivery methods.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a new procedure using HTTP protocol for the SEAL network resource management Server (SNRM-S) to announce and de-announce MBS sessions to the SEAL network resource management Client (SNRM-C) through XML schema-based messages, enabling efficient management of MBS sessions and data delivery modes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If standardized procedures for MBS session announcement and de-announcement are implemented in SEAL network resource management, then network efficiency and service management capability are improved, but system complexity and implementation overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the MBS session management into distinct announcement and de-announcement procedures, with separate message formats and processing logic. This segmentation allows each procedure to be optimized independently while maintaining overall system efficiency, resolving the contradiction by organizing complexity into manageable, standardized components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates universal message formats and standardized interfaces that can handle multiple MBS session operations (announcement, de-announcement, updates) through a common framework. This multi-functionality improves network efficiency by providing a unified management mechanism while containing system complexity through reusability

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

2Reliability

If HTTP protocol with XML schema-based messages is used for MBS session management, then service management capability and standardization are improved, but message processing overhead and implementation complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice management capabilityVSAvoidimplementation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent defines specific XML schema parameters and message structures that standardize the representation of MBS session information. By establishing fixed parameter formats and validation rules, the system achieves reliable service management while reducing implementation complexity through predictable, standardized data structures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces standardized XML messages as intermediaries between the SEAL network resource management system and MBS services. These structured messages act as a formal interface that enables reliable service management while simplifying implementation by providing clear syntax and semantics for information exchange

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. Specifically, the disclosure related to a method for sharing an announcement and a de-announcement of a multicast-broadcast services (MBS) session. The method comprises receiving an MBS usage information extensible markup language (XML) document from a SEAL network resource management-server (SNRM-S) module, wherein the MBS usage information comprises MBS session announcement/de-announcement information associated with one or more MBS sessions. Thereafter the method comprises parsing the received MBS usage information to extract MBS session announcement/de-announcement information. Further, the method comprises transmitting the parsed MBS session announcement/de-announcement information to at least one vertical application layer (VAL) client module in the UE.
