1Productivity

If data stream control is implemented in multi-connection data transmission, then data transmission efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a service access management node as an intermediary between the terminal and multiple access networks. This node centrally manages data stream distribution across different access networks (3GPP and non-3GPP), handling the complexity of multi-connection control while allowing terminals to communicate through standardized interfaces. The intermediary absorbs the system complexity, enabling improved data transmission efficiency without burdening the terminal or individual access networks with complex control logic.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If multiple access networks are used for data transmission, then throughput is improved, but control difficulty increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovethroughputVSAvoidcontrol difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data transmission system into distinct functional components: the service access management node handles control plane functions and data distribution decisions, while terminal and access networks focus on data plane operations. This segmentation allows each component to operate independently with well-defined interfaces, reducing control difficulty while enabling throughput improvement through multiple access networks. The control function is separated from the transmission function, making the system easier to manage despite using multiple networks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If data distribution is optimized based on network state information, then service data throughput is improved, but information processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice data throughputVSAvoidinformation processing requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The service access management node performs preliminary actions by collecting network state information from multiple access networks in advance and pre-establishing data distribution policies based on current network conditions. This allows the system to proactively optimize data routing before actual data transmission occurs, reducing the need for complex real-time information processing during active transmission. The node prepares distribution decisions ahead of time, improving throughput while managing information processing requirements through advance planning.
