Network Deployment Information Determination Using Nested Templates
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for determining deployment information of a network slice are inaccurate due to the inability to accurately calculate deployment information based on demand information from different network slice subnets, leading to reduced accuracy in determining network deployment.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that receive and process comprehensive deployment information from nested network component templates, enabling the determination of more accurate deployment information by including association relationships among network components, which is sent to a management and orchestration device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If algorithms for calculating deployment information are applied separately to different network slice subnets, then the calculation process can be simplified, but the accuracy of determining deployment information is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a nested template structure where network slice subnet templates are contained within network slice templates. This allows deployment information to be calculated at multiple hierarchical levels, with subnet-level algorithms contributing to overall network slice deployment accuracy while maintaining modular, simplified calculation processes at each level.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the deployment information calculation into distinct components: network slice subnet templates handle individual subnet deployment details, while the parent network slice template aggregates these to determine overall deployment information. This segmentation enables both simplified local calculations and accurate global determination.
2Measurement precision
If comprehensive deployment information including association relationships among network components is included, then the accuracy of determining deployment information is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The nested template structure organizes complex deployment information hierarchically, with network slice subnet templates containing specific component details and the parent network slice template containing association relationships. This nesting manages complexity by structuring information at appropriate levels rather than presenting all details simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a hierarchical dimension to deployment information management, organizing data vertically across template levels rather than horizontally in a single complex structure. This dimensional change separates concerns between subnet-level details and network-level associations, reducing apparent complexity while maintaining comprehensive accuracy.
Data Source
AI summary
A method and a device for determining deployment information of a network are disclosed. The method for determining deployment information of a network includes: receiving, by a first network entity, a first message sent by a second network entity, where the first message carries first deployment information, and the first deployment information is deployment information of a network component; and determining, by the first network entity, second deployment information based on the first deployment information, where the second deployment information is deployment information of a network, and the network includes at least one network component. The foregoing solution can improve accuracy of determining deployment information of a network.
