Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies cannot accurately determine the statistical information of user equipment (UE) registered within specific area ranges of network slices, limiting the ability to manage network resources effectively and provide refined services.
Innovation Solution
The proposed solution involves a network slice admission control function (NSACF) that determines statistical information, such as the number of registered UEs, within specific area ranges based on specific area indication information, allowing for more granular management of network resources.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If statistical information is determined for the entire network slice, then the management scope is comprehensive, but the granularity is too coarse to meet refined management requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the network slice statistical information management by introducing area range division. The NSACF determines statistical information for specific area ranges (such as tracking areas, routing areas, or custom geographic areas) rather than treating the entire network slice as a single unit. This segmentation enables refined granularity control while maintaining manageable complexity through standardized area range definitions and selection mechanisms.
2Adaptability or versatility
If statistical information is determined for specific area ranges, then the management granularity is refined, but the complexity of managing multiple area ranges increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by enabling different statistical information management policies for different area ranges. Each area range can have its own statistical information determination parameters, thresholds, and reporting mechanisms. This allows the system to adapt to local requirements (e.g., different service quality requirements in different geographic areas) while the NSACF coordinates the overall management to prevent excessive complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically selects and adjusts area ranges based on service requirements and network conditions. The NSACF can flexibly determine which area ranges to monitor, adjust the granularity of area ranges, and modify statistical information collection parameters in real-time, thereby adapting to changing service demands without requiring fixed complex configurations for all possible scenarios.
3Productivity
If the NSACF determines statistical information for multiple network slices across multiple area ranges, then the comprehensive management capability is improved, but the processing overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements partial action by having the NSACF determine statistical information selectively for specific area ranges and network slices based on service requirements, rather than continuously monitoring all possible combinations. The system performs statistical information determination only when needed for admission control decisions, resource allocation adjustments, or anomaly detection, thereby reducing processing overhead while maintaining effective management of multiple slices and area ranges.
