Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information collection systems lack the ability to flexibly collect network information from multiple networks, such as mobile and fixed telecommunications carriers, which limits the diversity and accuracy of services provided by third-party application servers.
Innovation Solution
An information collection system that includes a service platform connected to multiple networks, which receives a collection policy from an application server and collects network information from specific networks to generate service information, enabling the aggregation and analysis of diverse network data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If an application server collects network information from multiple networks, then the diversity and accuracy of services are improved, but the device complexity and difficulty of operation increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a service platform as an intermediary between multiple networks and the application server. This platform collects network information from various networks (mobile carriers, fixed carriers, ISPs) according to collection policies, processes the information, and provides it to the application server. This mediator approach allows the application server to access diverse network information without directly managing the complexity of multiple network connections, thus resolving the contradiction between information diversity and system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The service platform is designed with multi-functional capabilities to handle different types of networks (mobile, fixed, ISP), various collection policies, and multiple information formats. It provides a universal interface for collecting network information from heterogeneous sources, enabling the application server to access diverse information through a single unified system rather than managing multiple specialized connections
2Measurement precision
If network information is collected from multiple networks, then service accuracy is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The service platform implements automatic collection policies where network information is collected based on pre-configured criteria without requiring manual intervention. The platform autonomously determines which networks to collect from, what information to gather, and how to process it, thereby maintaining high service accuracy while eliminating the operational burden that would otherwise be required to manage multiple network connections manually
3Adaptability or versatility
If flexible collection policy is implemented, then adaptability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The service platform implements dynamic collection policies that can be adjusted based on current network conditions, service requirements, and user needs. The system can flexibly modify collection parameters, select different networks, and adapt information gathering strategies in real-time without requiring structural changes to the platform architecture, thus achieving high adaptability while maintaining manageable complexity
Data Source
AI summary
An approach for network information collection and analysis of a plurality of mobile networks is provided. The approach receives a first request message including a first threshold sent from an application server. The approach sends a second request message to at least one network function. The approach receives a congestion report from the at least one network function which monitors for a change in a congestion status related to a base station that is crossing a second threshold. The approach derives a network information by combining the congestion report. The approach sends the network information to the application server, the first threshold indicating a range of the network information at which the application server wishes to be informed of the network information.
