Network Device Direct Routing for Value Added Service Servers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In mobile broadband networks, service requests from user equipment often require processing through multiple unnecessary value-added service servers, leading to increased delays and reduced processing speed due to the sequential determination of service capabilities.
Innovation Solution
A network device directly sends service requests to a specific value-added service server configured to provide the corresponding service, eliminating the need for processing through unnecessary servers and optimizing service delivery by pre-saving correspondences between services and servers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If request messages are sent through multiple value added service servers in sequence, then service coverage is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent pre-establishes correspondence relationships between service types and value added service servers before actual service requests occur. When a request message arrives, the network device can immediately determine which server to route to based on pre-configured service mappings, eliminating the need for sequential capability checks at runtime.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a network device as an intermediary between user equipment and multiple value added service servers. This intermediary maintains a mapping table that directly associates service types with specific servers, enabling intelligent routing without requiring request messages to traverse through all servers sequentially.
2Reliability
If request messages are routed through multiple value added service servers, then service capability verification is improved, but processing speed decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs service capability verification in advance by pre-configuring correspondence relationships between service types and capable servers. This eliminates the need for runtime capability checks, as the network device already knows which servers can handle which services based on pre-established mappings.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the service capability verification process from the request message routing path. Instead of verifying capabilities during message traversal, the system separates verification into a preconfiguration phase, allowing request messages to be routed directly to capable servers without repeated verification steps.
3Reliability
If sequential determination through multiple servers is used, then comprehensive service checking is improved, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs comprehensive service checking in advance by pre-establishing correspondence relationships that encode which servers can provide which services. This preconfiguration ensures all necessary service capabilities are verified before deployment, eliminating the need for time-consuming sequential checks during actual message processing.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention provide a service processing method and a network device, and the method includes: receiving a request message for a first service sent by user equipment; determining a service requested by the request message for the first service; and sending the request message for the first service to a first value added service server. According to the method and the device provided by the embodiments of the present invention, a request message for a service may be directly sent to a value added service server configured to provide a value added service corresponding to the request message for the service. This can reduce a delay caused by processing of an unnecessary value added service server, and increase a processing speed of providing the value added service for the request message for the service.
