Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless communication systems are inadequate for supporting multiple-party operation and heterogeneous services, requiring costly and inefficient dedicated systems for each service, and lack mechanisms for dynamic selection and cooperative working of processing/control functions.
Innovation Solution
A networked computing and communication system with a control/management plane and mission data plane, including a mission manager to dynamically schedule and coordinate tasks, and a network registry function to store data, enabling flexible and efficient allocation of resources for XaaS services.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If dedicated systems are implemented for each specific service, then service reliability is improved, but device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal service management platform that can handle multiple heterogeneous services (e.g., AI services, data analytics, networking services) through a single integrated system. The platform uses standardized service descriptions and a common resource management mechanism to provide multi-functional capabilities without requiring separate dedicated systems for each service type.
Solution Approach 2:
The service management system is divided into modular components including service description modules, resource management modules, and control modules. Each service can be independently described and managed through standardized interfaces, allowing the system to handle diverse services while maintaining organizational simplicity and reducing overall system complexity.
2Stability of the object's composition
If processing functions are statically configured, then system stability is improved, but adaptability to dynamic service requirements deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic service function chaining where processing functions can be selected, added, or removed based on real-time service requirements. The service management platform maintains a repository of available processing functions and dynamically composes service chains by selecting appropriate functions from the repository, enabling the system to adapt to changing service demands while maintaining operational stability through standardized management procedures.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple processing functions are deployed for heterogeneous services, then service functionality is improved, but resource utilization efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent consolidates multiple service-specific processing functions into a shared pool of reusable processing functions. The service management platform enables different services to share common processing capabilities through standardized interfaces and protocols, reducing redundant deployments and improving resource utilization efficiency while maintaining the ability to support diverse heterogeneous services.

AI summary
A communication network may support one or more missions. Each mission including one or more building blocks that may either be a task or a sub-mission. The sub-mission may include one or more sub-mission building blocks. In some embodiments, a single network entity is operative to define all required details of the mission in the form of a mission specification. In some embodiments, a first network entity defines a mission intent that includes or describes a goal of the mission. A second network entity is operative to receive the mission intent and to specify, based on available network resources, a mission specification operative to provide, achieve, and/or accomplish the mission intent.
