5G Service Data Acquisition via Attribute Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing data acquisition methods in service-oriented interfaces for 5G communication systems are inflexible and inefficient, leading to low utilization of transmission resources, high storage resource usage, and complex data association relationships.
Innovation Solution
A data acquisition method that allows service consumers to specify resource attributes through query information, enabling the service provider to send only the required data attributes instead of entire resources, using a mapping of data to resource attributes and multi-level coding for efficient data representation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If the service provider defines all data in a resource and sends the entire resource to the service consumer, then the service consumer can acquire all needed data in one request, but the transmission resource utilization ratio is low because useless data is transmitted along with needed data
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments a resource into multiple data attributes, each with its own identifier. The service provider can then transmit only the specific data attributes requested by the service consumer rather than the entire resource, achieving fine-grained data transmission and improving transmission resource utilization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts specific data attributes from a resource based on identifiers carried in the service request. This allows the service provider to send only the needed data portions to the service consumer, eliminating unnecessary data transmission and improving transmission efficiency.
2Ease of operation
If the service provider defines a resource for each data combination, then the service consumer can acquire desired data with a single resource request, but the storage resource utilization ratio is low because the same data is stored by multiple resources
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple data attributes into a single resource structure, where each attribute has its own identifier. This allows the service provider to store data once in a unified resource while enabling the service consumer to request specific attributes, reducing redundant storage and improving storage resource utilization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal resource structure that can serve multiple data combination needs. A single resource containing multiple attributes with identifiers can fulfill various service requests by returning different attribute combinations, eliminating the need for separate resources for each data combination.
3Loss of energy
If the service provider defines a resource for each data, then the service consumer can request only needed data, but the service consumer needs to initiate multiple service requests to acquire multiple data, resulting in low acquisition efficiency and large overhead
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple data attributes with unique identifiers into a single resource structure. This allows the service consumer to request multiple specific data attributes in one service request by including their identifiers, reducing the number of requests needed and improving acquisition efficiency while maintaining precise data transmission.

AI summary
A data acquisition method, a service provider, a service consumer and a network functional entity are provided. The data acquisition method applied to the service provider includes: receiving a service request message initiated by a service consumer for acquiring a resource attribute of a resource, where the service request message carries query information configured to indicate the resource attribute; and sending data of the resource attribute to the service consumer through a service response message.
