Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for calculating network performance indicators are inefficient, as they require significant workload and resource consumption in intermediate layers, leading to slow calculation speeds and unnecessary intermediate indicators.

Innovation Solution

A method that uses association relationship tree information to determine a second resource associated with a first resource, allowing for rapid and accurate calculation of network performance indicators by reducing intermediate-layer workload and waste through direct and indirect association relationships.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If network performance indicators are calculated by converging bottom-layer inputs layer by layer through intermediate layers, then comprehensive network performance metrics can be obtained, but workload of intermediate layers increases and calculation speed decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork performance indicator accuracyVSAvoidcalculation speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent pre-calculates and stores indicator formulas for all resource layers in advance, including the identification of direct and indirect association relationships. When a network performance indicator needs to be calculated, the system directly retrieves and applies the pre-prepared formulas without performing layer-by-layer convergence calculations during runtime, thereby significantly improving calculation speed while maintaining accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If network performance indicators are calculated by converging bottom-layer inputs layer by layer through intermediate layers, then comprehensive network performance metrics can be obtained, but memory resources of intermediate layers are consumed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork performance indicator accuracyVSAvoidmemory resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and stores only the essential indicator formulas and association relationship information into a pre-configured data structure. Instead of maintaining complex intermediate calculation results and data structures in memory during runtime, the system extracts only the necessary formula definitions and relationship mappings, storing them in a compact format that minimizes memory consumption while preserving the ability to calculate accurate network performance indicators

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Productivity

If direct and indirect association relationships between resources are established, then workload of intermediate layers is reduced, but complexity of the indicator calculation system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecalculation efficiencyVSAvoidindicator calculation system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-establishes the complex association relationships between resources and pre-defines all indicator formulas during system initialization. The pre-processing phase identifies direct and indirect relationships, constructs the indicator formula data structure, and stores it for efficient retrieval. This preliminary action transfers complexity from runtime operations to initialization, reducing workload during actual performance indicator calculations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
