Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing methods for updating and expanding network management systems are complex, time-consuming, and error-prone, particularly in managing diverse base station versions, which complicates operations and maintenance.
Innovation Solution
A method involving a network management system that acquires and dynamically loads data model packets pre-stored in base station software versions, eliminating the need for direct system upgrades or patches, thereby simplifying and accelerating function changes or expansions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional system upgrading or patching methods are used to update network management system functions, then function update capability is achieved, but operation complexity increases and error rate increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the network management system into modular components, where different function packages can be independently loaded and managed. This allows specific functions to be updated without requiring full system upgrades, reducing operational complexity and potential errors while maintaining function update capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic loading of function packages, allowing the system to load, unload, and update functional modules on-demand without system restart or full reconfiguration. This dynamic approach simplifies operations compared to traditional static upgrading methods while preserving adaptability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If traditional patching methods are used for function updates, then function expansion is achieved, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent pre-packages functional modules into ready-to-load data model packets that contain all necessary configuration and code. These pre-prepared packages can be rapidly deployed without lengthy compilation or configuration steps, enabling fast function expansion while maintaining capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses template-based function packages that can be copied and deployed across multiple network management systems. This copying mechanism allows rapid replication of functional updates without custom implementation for each system, significantly reducing update time while maintaining expansion capability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If customized file packets are used for different base station versions, then compatibility is achieved, but operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates universal data model packet templates that can adapt to multiple base station versions through parameter configuration rather than custom development. A single template structure serves multiple version requirements, maintaining compatibility while simplifying operations by eliminating the need for version-specific customization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent achieves version compatibility through parameter adjustment within a unified function package structure. By changing configuration parameters rather than the entire package structure, the system maintains compatibility with different base station versions while keeping operations simple and standardized.
