Solution Overview

Problem

Current communication networks experience significant response delays and inefficiencies due to post-triggered resource allocation, where network resources are allocated only after a user initiates a service, leading to poor response effects.

Innovation Solution

A method where a network device allocates resources based on terminal service prediction information, allowing for proactive allocation and improving processing efficiency and response speed by anticipating and preparing for subsequent services.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If post-triggered resource allocation is used, then network resources are allocated only after service initiation, but response delay increases and processing efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse delayVSAvoidprocessing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by predicting terminal service behavior in advance and allocating network resources before the actual service is initiated. The network device receives terminal service prediction information, determines predicted services, and pre-allocates resources accordingly, eliminating the need for waiting until service initiation occurs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Speed

If connection establishment flow is initiated for each service, then service can be requested, but response speed deteriorates due to multiple flows required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse speedVSAvoidnumber of flows
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent eliminates the need for connection establishment flows by performing resource allocation in advance based on predicted services. The network device pre-allocates resources and provides allocation information to the terminal before service initiation, allowing direct service processing without going through connection establishment procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If network resources are allocated after service initiation, then resource allocation can occur, but processing efficiency is poor due to delayed allocation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing efficiencyVSAvoidallocation delay
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent resolves this contradiction by allocating network resources in advance based on predicted terminal services. The network device determines predicted services from prediction information and allocates resources before the terminal actually needs them, eliminating allocation delay and improving processing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
