Communication Service Validation Using State-Independent Index Values

The patent introduces a validation system as an intermediary component that mediates between the service providing means and the validation process. This validation system includes a validation unit that specifically validates the index value calculated from actual result values, ensuring that the scale-out operation achieves the expected performance improvement while maintaining measurement accuracy through dedicated validation mechanisms

The patent replaces traditional mechanical validation methods with information-based validation. Instead of relying on physical measurements or direct observations, the system uses calculated index values derived from actual result values (such as throughput, delay, and loss measurements) to validate the state change, substituting physical validation mechanisms with computational validation

The patent segments the validation system into distinct functional units: a calculation unit that calculates index values from state-independent actual result values, and a validation unit that validates whether the index value meets expected criteria. This segmentation allows for modular implementation and maintenance while preserving measurement objectivity

The validation system is designed with universal components that can handle multiple types of service providing means and various state changes. The calculation unit and validation unit are configured to work with different actual result values (throughput, delay, loss) and validate different types of scale-out operations, reducing overall system complexity through reuse
