Session Connection Controller Layer Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication systems face inefficiencies in session control, leading to increased transfer delay and overhead due to separate control of sessions across different layers, which affects quality of service (QoS) and resource utilization.
Innovation Solution
A user equipment (UE) is equipped with a session connection controller that combines or divides sessions across various layers, including transport, network, and physical layers, to optimize session control, using diversity and multiplexing combinations, and determines session characteristics to enhance QoS and resource management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If sessions are separately controlled in each layer and network node, then layer-specific control flexibility is maintained, but transfer delay and overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges session control functions across multiple layers (transport, network, physical) and network nodes into a unified control mechanism. The session connection controller integrates control of sessions at different layers, eliminating the need for separate control procedures and information exchange between nodes, thereby reducing transfer delay while maintaining layer-specific adaptability through the multi-layer session management capability
2Adaptability or versatility
If sessions are separately controlled in each layer and network node, then layer-specific management is maintained, but overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines session control operations across layers into a single integrated control process. By merging the control functions that would otherwise operate separately at transport, network, and physical layers, the system eliminates redundant information exchange and control signaling overhead while preserving the ability to manage sessions at each layer through the unified session connection controller
3Ease of operation
If user equipment controls only upper layer sessions, then network node control of lower layer sessions is maintained, but resource efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables user equipment to directly control sessions across all layers (transport, network, physical) through the session connection controller, eliminating the need for network nodes to mediate lower layer session control. This self-service approach allows UE to autonomously optimize session management and resource allocation, significantly improving resource efficiency while maintaining network node control capabilities when needed
