MTC Server Triggering Identification for Application Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In existing MTC systems, there is a challenge in ensuring that triggering information is sent to the correct application, as multiple application servers may send triggering information, and the user equipment cannot identify the corresponding application, leading to incorrect processing of MTC device triggering information.
Innovation Solution
The method involves adding triggering identification to the information by the MTC server or SME, which includes indicating the application type, port numbers, protocols, and application identifications, allowing the user equipment to determine and forward the information to the correct applications, and using network filtering elements to authorize the sending of triggering information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If triggering information is sent without application identification, then the sending process is simple, but the user equipment cannot identify the corresponding application leading to incorrect processing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an application identification field as an intermediary element that mediates between the triggering information and the application selection process. This field acts as a key or pointer that enables the user equipment to accurately match triggering information with the corresponding application without complicating the overall sending mechanism
Solution Approach 2:
The triggering information itself carries the application identification, enabling the information to serve its own routing purpose. The user equipment can autonomously use the embedded identification to select the correct application without requiring external intervention or complex routing logic
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple application servers send triggering information, then the system supports multiple applications, but the user equipment cannot distinguish which application the information is for
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by embedding application-specific identification information within each triggering information message. This allows each piece of triggering information to carry its own unique identifier that reflects its intended application, enabling differentiated handling of messages from multiple sources without requiring global routing logic
3Reliability
If triggering information is sent to all applications, then no information is lost, but system efficiency decreases due to unnecessary processing
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of sending triggering information to all applications (excessive action), the patent uses application identification to enable partial action - sending information only to the specific application that needs it. This reduces unnecessary processing while ensuring the correct application receives the information
Data Source
AI summary
Provided are a method for sending information, a machine type communication (MTC) server, a user equipment and an MTC system. According to the method for sending information, an MTC server or a short message entity (SME) adds triggering identification to information, wherein the triggering identification is used for indicating that the information is triggering information; and the MTC server or the SME sends the information to a user equipment. By means of the technical solution, sending triggering information to a correct application is realized.
