Short Message Intelligent Decision Query Unit for IMS CS Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing network structures for short message routing in IMS and CS domains lack intelligent control mechanisms for routing decisions, especially when users subscribe to both domains, leading to inefficient routing and lack of enhanced control over short messages.
Innovation Solution
Introduction of a short message intelligent decision query unit and a Network Domain selection entity (NeDs) to query and determine routing decisions based on user preferences, registration states, and operator strategies, enhancing routing control and inter-domain routing capabilities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If traditional short message routing structures are used in IMS and CS domains, then basic message forwarding is achieved, but intelligent routing control and enhanced decision-making capabilities are lacking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a Short Message Intelligent Decision Query Unit and a Network Domain Selection Entity (NeDs) as intermediary components between the traditional routing structures and the short message centers. These intermediaries provide intelligent routing decisions by querying user preferences, registration states, and operator strategies, thereby enabling automated routing control without directly complicating the core routing infrastructure.
Solution Approach 2:
The routing control function is segmented into separate modular components: the Intelligent Decision Query Unit that gathers routing criteria, the NeDs that makes routing decisions, and the existing short message centers that execute message forwarding. This segmentation allows intelligent control to be added independently without redesigning the entire routing system.
2Adaptability or versatility
If users subscribe to both IMS and CS domains, then service coverage is expanded, but routing decision complexity increases due to multiple possible paths
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the Intelligent Decision Query Unit continuously queries user registration states, preferences, and operator strategies. This feedback loop provides real-time information to the NeDs, enabling dynamic routing decisions that adapt to changing conditions without requiring complex manual configuration for each user scenario.
Solution Approach 2:
The Network Domain Selection Entity (NeDs) is designed as a universal routing decision maker that handles all routing scenarios for users in both IMS and CS domains. Instead of creating separate routing logic for each domain or user type, the NeDs provides a single multi-functional solution that adapts to different user preferences, registration states, and message types.
3Reliability
If basic short message forwarding is implemented, then message delivery is achieved, but filtering, lawful intercept, and value-added services lack enhanced control
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary routing decisions before message delivery by querying user preferences, registration states, and operator strategies in advance. The NeDs makes routing decisions proactively, and the Intelligent Decision Query Unit prepares routing criteria beforehand, ensuring that message delivery proceeds smoothly without requiring complex control operations during the actual delivery process.
