Policy Control Network Element Service Quality Query via Data Analytics
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication technologies lack an effective method to obtain the operating status of various communications services, which are differentiated by their network performance requirements.
Innovation Solution
A communication method and device that involve a policy control network element sending query information to a data analytics network element to obtain service quality information, and subsequently adjusting or applying quality-of-service parameter information based on the received information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If no data analytics network element is introduced, then the network structure remains simple, but service quality information cannot be obtained
Solution Approach 1:
A data analytics network element is introduced as an intermediary component between the policy control network element and the service network. This intermediary collects service quality information from various network elements, analyzes it, and provides processed information to the policy control network element, enabling service quality monitoring without requiring complex direct connections between all network components
Solution Approach 2:
The data analytics network element autonomously collects, processes, and analyzes service quality information from multiple sources including network elements and service platforms. It self-manages the data collection process, performs analytical functions locally, and generates service quality information reports, reducing the need for complex centralized control mechanisms
2Reliability
If service quality information is not obtained, then the network structure remains simple, but service quality cannot be managed or optimized
Solution Approach 1:
The system establishes a feedback loop where the data analytics network element continuously collects service quality information, analyzes it, and provides feedback to the policy control network element. The policy control network element uses this feedback to adjust service quality parameters and policies, creating a closed-loop control system that continuously optimizes service quality based on actual network conditions
Solution Approach 2:
The data analytics network element performs preliminary analysis and processing of service quality information before it reaches the policy control network element. By pre-processing raw data and generating meaningful service quality metrics in advance, the system enables more effective service quality management without requiring the policy control network element to handle complex data processing tasks

AI summary
A communication method includes: sending, by a policy control network element, first query information to a data analytics network element, where the first query information is used to obtain service quality information; and receiving, by the policy control network element, first response information sent by the data analytics network element, where the first response information includes the quality information that is of the service and that is requested using the first query information.
