Service Router for Seamless Network Domain Roaming
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current telecom network services face challenges in service roaming, where changes in the home network management domain prevent users from accessing services created by users, limiting the universality and user experience of these services.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for implementing service roaming, which involves receiving a roaming registration request, obtaining and updating service registration and roaming route information, and sending notification messages to ensure seamless access to services across different network domains.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If services are deployed on user devices rather than network devices, then service creation flexibility is improved, but service accessibility across network domains deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a service router as an intermediary component between user devices and the network. The service router receives service registration information from user devices and manages service routing across different network domains. This intermediary enables services deployed on user devices to remain accessible across network boundaries by providing centralized service information management and routing capabilities.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the home network management domain of a service changes, then service mobility is improved, but service accessibility to other users deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the service router sends notifications to relevant network entities when service registration information changes. When a service moves to a different network domain, the service router detects this change and propagates the updated service information to ensure continuous accessibility. This feedback loop maintains service accessibility despite changes in network management domains.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs preliminary action by pre-establishing service router infrastructure and service registration mechanisms before services need to roam. The service router is configured in advance to handle service registration, and routing information is prepared ahead of time. This preliminary setup ensures that when services move between network domains, the infrastructure is already in place to maintain accessibility without interruption.

AI summary
The present invention discloses a method for implementing service roaming. The method includes: receiving a roaming registration request that includes a service identifier (ID); obtaining a physical access address of a service according to the service ID, and generating and storing service registration route information that includes the service ID and the physical access address of the service; obtaining an address of a home service router or a service router to which the service belongs before the service roams, and sending a roaming notification message to the home service router or the service router to which the service belongs before the service roams. In this way, a user may access the service, thus the user experience and the universality of services created by the user are improved.
