Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication technologies lack the ability for mobile networks to collaboratively process and utilize sensing data from terminal devices, as current solutions involve direct, transparent reporting that does not facilitate network-level integration.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for reporting sensing data from user equipment to a mobile network, establishing a communication session using a user equipment route selection policy, and transmitting target sensing data to a target network element, enabling collaborative processing and utilization by the mobile network.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If sensing data is transmitted directly at the application layer, then transmission simplicity is improved, but network-level collaborative processing capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission simplicityVSAvoidnetwork-level collaborative processing capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a network element as an intermediary between the terminal device and the application server. This network element receives sensing data from the terminal, performs network-level processing and collaboration, then forwards the data to the application server. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining transmission efficiency while enabling network-level collaborative processing through the intermediary component.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If sensing data is reported through application layer solutions, then implementation complexity is reduced, but mobile network integration and utilization capability are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimplementation complexityVSAvoidmobile network integration capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data transmission architecture into multiple functional layers: terminal device sensing layer, network element processing layer, and application server utilization layer. This segmentation allows each layer to perform its specific function independently, maintaining implementation simplicity at the terminal while enabling sophisticated network-level integration and collaborative processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If direct transparent transmission is used, then data transmission efficiency is improved, but network control and collaborative utilization are lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission efficiencyVSAvoidnetwork control capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The network element acts as a mediator that maintains transmission efficiency while providing network control. It receives data efficiently from the terminal, performs necessary network-level processing and collaboration, then forwards data to the application server, thus preserving both transmission efficiency and network control capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The network element performs preliminary processing and control actions on sensing data before it reaches the application layer. This preliminary action enables network-level collaborative processing while maintaining efficient data flow, as the network element prepares and manages the data transmission in advance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
