Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication networks lack mechanisms for managing and controlling third-party subscription data configuration on terminal devices, particularly in non-public networks (NPNs), leading to potential unauthorized access and prolonged usage.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a restricted registration timer and deregistration procedure managed by an access management network element to control terminal device registration, ensuring timely detachment from the network and preventing malicious camping.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If terminal devices perform data compression and encryption before transmission, then transmission efficiency and security are improved, but terminal device power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission efficiencyVSAvoidterminal device power consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the data processing tasks between terminal devices and the network side. Terminal devices perform only necessary local processing while offloading compression and encryption to the network side, reducing terminal power consumption while maintaining transmission efficiency and security

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The network side acts as an intermediary that performs data compression and encryption services for terminal devices. This mediator approach allows terminals to benefit from efficient data transmission without bearing the full processing burden, thus reducing their power consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Quantity of substance

If data is compressed before transmission, then transmission bandwidth is reduced, but data accuracy may be affected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission bandwidthVSAvoiddata accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts compression parameters based on data types and transmission requirements. Different compression algorithms and parameters are applied to different data streams, maintaining data accuracy for critical information while achieving bandwidth reduction for less sensitive data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

Different compression strategies are applied to different parts of the data stream based on their importance and characteristics. Critical data maintains higher fidelity while less critical data undergoes more aggressive compression, optimizing the balance between bandwidth usage and data accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If multiple security protocols are implemented for data protection, then security level is improved, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity levelVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple security functions including compression, encryption, and authentication are merged into integrated security processing modules on the network side. This consolidation maintains high security levels while reducing overall processing complexity by coordinating these functions in a unified manner rather than as separate independent processes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

This application provides a communication method and an apparatus. The method includes: An access management network element receives a registration request from a terminal device, and the access management network element obtains configuration type indication information, determines, based on the configuration type indication information, to perform restricted registration, and starts a restricted registration timer. After the restricted registration timer expires, the access management network element initiates a deregistration procedure to deregister the UE from a network. By using the method, the terminal device can be prevented from maliciously camping or accessing another service for a long time. In addition, this solution is simple to implement, and easy to deploy and implement.
