Telecommunication Network Quality Control via Dynamic Path Negotiation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current quality control mechanisms in telecommunications networks are cumbersome and cannot be optimized according to real user demand, requiring service providers to offer content tailored to each type of user equipment and access network, leading to inefficient resource allocation and management.
Innovation Solution
Implementing an end-to-end quality control method using a control device that negotiates service contracts with a server to dynamically select and configure network components, such as routing, security, and transcoding functions, based on user requirements, allowing for dynamic path establishment between user terminals and content servers through a peer-to-peer network.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If static channel configuration is used for quality control, then service delivery is established, but resource allocation efficiency deteriorates and cannot be optimized according to real user demand
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic quality control by allowing the control device to negotiate service contracts with servers and dynamically select network components based on real-time user demands. The system transitions from static channel configuration to dynamic path establishment, where network resources are allocated flexibly according to current service requirements rather than pre-defined static routes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes network parameters dynamically by negotiating service contracts that define quality of service parameters. The control device can adjust network configuration parameters in real-time based on user demands and service requirements, allowing optimization of resource allocation while maintaining quality control standards.
2Reliability
If service providers manage quality parameters directly, then service quality is controlled, but device complexity and management burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a control device as an intermediary between the service provider and the network infrastructure. This control device negotiates service contracts with servers and manages the dynamic selection of network components, thereby simplifying the service provider's role to primarily quality parameter definition while delegating complex network management tasks to the specialized control device.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service quality control where the control device autonomously negotiates service contracts, selects appropriate network components, and establishes optimal paths without requiring direct service provider intervention in network management operations. The control device independently manages quality parameters according to predefined service requirements.
3Adaptability or versatility
If content is tailored for each user equipment type and access network, then service quality is optimized, but the cumbersome configuration and service provider burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The control device serves as a universal platform that can adapt to different user equipment types and access networks through a standardized service contract negotiation mechanism. Instead of requiring separate configurations for each equipment type and network, the universal control device dynamically selects appropriate network components and paths based on the specific service requirements, thereby simplifying operations while maintaining adaptability.

AI summary
The invention relates to a method for monitoring end-to-end service quality in a telecommunication network that comprises: the step (F10) of negotiating with the service provider a contract including at least one quality parameter of said service; the step (F22) of determining the functions that must be implemented by the network in order to meet the contract requirements; the step (F30) of receiving a request from a terminal for accessing said service; the step (F40) of selecting, upon reception of the request, at least one device in the network capable of implementing said functions; and the step (F50) of establishing in said network a path between the terminal and the service provider via said at least one device.
