Network Element Device Service Participation Determination
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Collaborative services in network connections face failures due to nodes with low computing power or poor communication links, necessitating the selection of suitable participants to maintain service integrity.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for determining service participation by obtaining and transmitting information about user equipment (UE) suitability for participating in indicated services, including radio capability and computing power, to ensure effective collaboration and prevent training failures in collaborative models.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If all UE are allowed to participate in collaborative services, then service coverage and participation quantity increase, but service reliability and quality deteriorate due to low computing power or poor communication links
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by evaluating and selecting UE based on their individual characteristics (computing power, communication quality) rather than treating all UE uniformly. The network element device determines suitability of each UE locally based on specific service requirements, ensuring that only UE with appropriate capabilities participate in specific collaborative services, thus maintaining service quality while allowing broad participation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If UE with low computing power participate in collaborative services, then service accessibility improves, but service reliability deteriorates due to training failures
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by performing suitability determination before UE participation in collaborative services. The network element device evaluates UE computing power, communication quality, and other parameters in advance to determine whether UE are suitable for specific services. This pre-screening prevents UE with insufficient capabilities from participating, avoiding training failures while maintaining broad service accessibility for qualified UE.
3Measurement precision
If comprehensive UE information is collected and transmitted, then service selection accuracy improves, but network signaling overhead and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies taking out by extracting only the essential and necessary UE information required for service suitability determination, rather than collecting and transmitting all possible UE data. The network element device identifies and processes key parameters such as computing power, communication quality, and service requirements, filtering out redundant information. This reduces signaling overhead and network element complexity while maintaining accurate service suitability determination.

AI summary
A method for determining service participation, includes: a first network element device obtaining associated information of indicated service of a user equipment (UE), and determining a UE that is suitable for participating in the indicated service and/or a UE that is not suitable for participating in the indicated service; and sending information of the determined UE that is suitable for participating in the indicated service and/or UE that is not suitable for participating in the indicated service to a second network element device.
