Solution Overview

Problem

Current messaging systems for establishing and maintaining packet data connections in wireless networks are inefficient, leading to delays and resource wastage in call setups, particularly in VoIP sessions.

Innovation Solution

The method involves inserting an invitation message into a setup message at a first node in a wireless network, which is then forwarded through multiple nodes to establish a packet data channel, allowing for parallel processing and earlier initiation of the invitation process before the channel is fully established, optimizing the message sequence and reducing setup time.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If traditional sequential messaging is used to establish packet data connection, then message processing is simple and straightforward, but call setup time is excessive and system efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecall setup timeVSAvoidmessage processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by inserting the invitation message into the setup message at the first node before the packet data channel is fully established. This allows the invitation message to be extracted and forwarded to the third node in advance, while the channel establishment process is still ongoing. The parallel processing of these operations reduces the overall call setup time without significantly increasing system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If parallel message processing is implemented to reduce setup time, then call establishment speed improves, but message routing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection establishment speedVSAvoidmessage routing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the invitation message with the setup message at the first node, creating a combined message structure. This merged message is then transmitted through the network, where intermediate nodes extract and forward the invitation message while the setup message continues its routing path. This merging approach enables parallel processing of connection establishment and invitation forwarding, improving productivity while managing routing complexity through a structured message combination strategy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Loss of time

If invitation message is forwarded early before channel establishment, then overall setup time is reduced, but risk of message loss or interference increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesetup time reductionVSAvoidmessage delivery reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses the nested doll principle by embedding the invitation message within the setup message structure at the first node. The invitation message is nested inside the setup message container, which provides protection and ensures proper routing. Intermediate nodes can extract the nested invitation message for forwarding while the outer setup message continues to establish the packet data channel, ensuring both messages reach their destinations reliably despite the early forwarding of the invitation message.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

AI summary

The present disclosure relates generally to systems and methods for a setting up a packet data connection in a wireless network. In one example, a method may include receiving a packet data channel request and an invitation message at a first node over an air interface from a mobile device. The invitation message may be directed to a communication device. The invitation message may be inserted into a setup message used to set up the packet data channel and the setup message may be sent to a second node. The invitation message may be extracted from the setup message by the second node and forwarded to a third node. The setup message may be processed to establish the packet data channel.
