MCData File Distribution with Auto-Receipt and Deferred Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current specifications lack procedures for non-mandatory file download handling in Mission Critical Data (MCData) networks, particularly for automatic receipt of files and storing file distribution requests for later delivery, which are crucial for mission-critical services.
Innovation Solution
A method and MCData network are developed to handle non-mandatory file distribution over a media plane, enabling auto-receipt of files, generating user action notifications, and supporting later delivery of file distribution requests through a MCData server.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If non-mandatory download procedure is implemented for File Distribution in MCData network, then flexibility in file receipt is improved, but lack of automatic receipt capability and later delivery support creates operational inefficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by storing file distribution requests and content in the MCData server before actual delivery is needed. This allows the system to have file distribution requests ready for later delivery when recipients become available or when optimal delivery conditions are met, thereby improving operational efficiency while maintaining flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The MCData server acts as an intermediary between the file sender and recipients. It receives, stores, and manages file distribution requests, then delivers them to recipients at appropriate times. This intermediary function enables both automatic receipt capability and later delivery support, resolving the contradiction between flexibility and operational efficiency.
2Adaptability or versatility
If file distribution requests are stored for later delivery, then delivery timing flexibility is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The MCData server performs multiple functions: it acts as a communication intermediary, a storage system for file distribution requests and content, a delivery scheduler, and a notification system. By consolidating these functions in a single multi-functional system rather than adding separate specialized systems, the patent achieves delivery timing flexibility while minimizing the increase in overall system complexity.
3Speed
If auto-receive configuration is enabled for file download, then file receipt speed is improved, but user control over file reception is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the file receipt behavior based on configuration. When auto-receive is enabled, files are automatically received at high speed without user intervention. When disabled, users maintain full control to manually accept or reject file distribution requests. This dynamic configurability allows the system to optimize for speed when appropriate while preserving user control when needed, resolving the contradiction between file receipt speed and user control.

AI summary
The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. Embodiments herein provide a method for handling non-mandatory download procedure for FD over a media plane in a MCData network (1000) by at least one terminating MCData client device (300). The method includes receiving a MCData FD request comprising a non-mandatory download indication for file download from a MCData server (200). Further, the method includes generating the user consent for the file download.
