Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing network implementation systems face challenges in complexity, diversity, and the need for frequent modifications to accommodate changing network service requirements, particularly in transitioning to next-generation communications systems.
Innovation Solution
The use of templates and logical connection paths to deploy network equipment, facilitated by configuration equipment that generates and utilizes deployment templates based on logical and physical modeling, enables efficient and standardized deployment of network equipment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If legacy systems are used to deploy network equipment, then existing processes can be maintained, but the systems cannot easily incorporate significant changes to network service requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the network deployment process into modular templates that can be independently configured and reused. Each template represents a discrete functional unit that can be assembled to meet different network service requirements, allowing the system to adapt to changes without redesigning the entire deployment process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates universal templates that can serve multiple network deployment scenarios. These templates are designed to be reusable across different network services and configurations, enabling a single system to handle diverse requirements without needing separate legacy systems for each scenario.
2Productivity
If manual configuration methods are used for network equipment deployment, then flexibility in handling unique cases is maintained, but manual configuration errors increase and deployment speed decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary configuration work by pre-defining deployment templates with all necessary parameters and settings. This advance preparation eliminates the need for manual configuration during actual deployment, reducing both errors and deployment time while maintaining the ability to handle unique cases through template customization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses template copying to replicate proven configurations across multiple deployments. Once a template is validated for a specific network service requirement, it can be copied and reused with minor modifications, ensuring consistent configuration accuracy while dramatically increasing deployment speed.
