Solution Overview

Problem

Current 5G mobile communication systems face challenges in efficiently managing address information for data transmission between network nodes, particularly when data needs to be routed through a network managed by a third network node, leading to potential issues with data reaching the correct destination.

Innovation Solution

A communication method where a first network node receives a message containing address information for data transmission with a second network node, and this address information includes details of the first network node and at least one network entity of a third network node, allowing for the configuration and selection of appropriate address information for data transmission.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If address information for data transmission between network nodes is managed using conventional methods, then the system operates with standard address management procedures, but data may not reach the correct destination when routing through a third network node's managed network

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata delivery accuracyVSAvoidaddress information structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The address information is segmented into multiple components: first network node address information, second network node address information, and third network node address information. This segmentation allows each component to serve its specific routing function, ensuring data reaches the correct destination through the third network node's managed network while maintaining clear address structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The third network node acts as an intermediary in the data transmission path. The address information explicitly includes the third network node's address, enabling proper routing through this intermediary node. The message structure facilitates this intermediary role by incorporating all necessary address components for multi-node transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If the address information includes only the first and second network node addresses, then the address structure remains simple, but data cannot be properly routed through the third network node's managed network

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaddress configurationVSAvoiddata routing accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The complete address information is divided into distinct segments corresponding to different network nodes involved in the transmission path. This includes the first network node address, second network node address, and crucially, the third network node address that manages the intermediate network. This segmentation ensures both completeness for accurate routing and organization for ease of configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The message structure is designed to be universally applicable for data transmission involving multiple network nodes. It can accommodate various scenarios (direct transmission, transmission through managed networks, transmission through multiple intermediaries) by consistently including all necessary address components, making it versatile for different routing situations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
