Solution Overview

Problem

In 5G network systems, the appropriateness of parameter value groups is unknown until the network is operational, leading to potential changes after setup, which can be burdensome and inefficient.

Innovation Solution

A network management system that selects suitable setting templates based on user application requirements, sets parameter value groups, and updates templates based on monitoring results to ensure appropriate parameter settings.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If parameter value groups are set in the network system before operation, then network setup can be completed, but the appropriateness of the parameters cannot be verified until the network is operational, requiring potential changes afterward

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork setup efficiencyVSAvoidparameter setting appropriateness
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring parameter value groups using setting templates before network operation begins. Multiple candidate parameter value groups are prepared in advance based on different application requirements, allowing the network to be set up efficiently while having pre-validated options ready for selection once operational data becomes available.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback by monitoring network operation results and using this information to determine whether the initially set parameter value group is appropriate. If the parameters prove inadequate, the system can select and apply alternative parameter value groups from the pre-configured templates, creating a closed-loop optimization process that improves parameter reliability based on actual performance feedback.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If parameter value groups are changed after network operation starts, then parameter appropriateness can be improved, but operational burden increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparameter setting appropriatenessVSAvoidnetwork management burden
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent reduces operational burden by preparing multiple candidate parameter value groups in advance using setting templates. When parameter changes are needed based on operational feedback, administrators can simply select from pre-configured options rather than manually configuring parameters from scratch, significantly easing the management burden while maintaining parameter reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables efficient parameter changes by storing multiple parameter value groups with different characteristics in setting templates. When operational results indicate parameter inadequacy, the system can switch between pre-defined parameter sets (e.g., changing network band, number of cells, or other parameters) without requiring complex manual reconfiguration, making parameter optimization straightforward and manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A system for managing a network system including an edge server on which an application is executed and a core network of a mobile network connected to the edge server is constructed. The system sets a parameter value group determined by using a setting template associated with an application requirement suitable for an application requirement of the user in the network system. The setting template includes a template parameter value (a parameter value as a template) for each parameter item related to the network system. The system monitors a status of the network system in which the parameter value group is set, and updates the setting template or determines a value displayed based on the setting template based on a result of the monitoring.
