Solution Overview

Problem

The existing configuration of SIP nodes in wireless communication systems requires manual peering inter-operability testing and validation, leading to slow real-time provisioning and deployment of new communication services, often taking months to implement new features and functionalities due to siloed configuration and parameter modifications across different service provider nodes.

Innovation Solution

Establishing a dynamic session protocol peering configuration that allows SIP nodes to exchange configurations dynamically and in real-time, enabling the establishment of SIP neighbor relationships for automatic configuration updates and building a data store of necessary headers and parameters for seamless communication between nodes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual peering inter-operability testing and validation is performed for SIP nodes, then configuration accuracy and reliability are improved, but deployment time and service provisioning speed deteriorate significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveSIP node configuration reliabilityVSAvoidService deployment time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

SIP nodes automatically perform peering configuration and inter-operability validation with neighboring nodes through machine-to-machine communication. The system enables self-configuration where nodes exchange capability information, parameters, and headers autonomously without manual intervention, while still performing automated validation testing to ensure configuration accuracy and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

SIP nodes exchange and pre-configure peering parameters, capabilities, and configuration data before actual service deployment. The system performs preliminary inter-operability validation and capability exchange in advance, allowing new services to be deployed rapidly once the preliminary configuration is complete, thus reducing overall deployment time while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Manufacturing precision

If individual SIP nodes are manually configured with peering parameters, then configuration precision is improved, but configuration complexity and operational difficulty worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveSIP parameter configuration precisionVSAvoidSIP node configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the configuration processes of multiple SIP nodes into a unified automated system. Neighboring SIP nodes exchange configuration data, parameters, and capability information through standardized protocols, consolidating what would otherwise be separate manual configuration tasks into a single integrated automated process that reduces overall complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention introduces an automated configuration exchange mechanism that acts as an intermediary between SIP nodes. This intermediary system handles the complex parameter matching, capability validation, and configuration synchronization automatically, eliminating the need for operators to manually manage complex peering parameters while maintaining precise configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Stability of the object's composition

If static SIP node configurations are used, then system stability is improved, but adaptability to new services and features deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveSIP node configuration stabilityVSAvoidService provisioning adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms static SIP node configurations into dynamic, adaptable configurations. SIP nodes continuously exchange configuration updates, capability information, and parameter changes with neighboring nodes, allowing the system to adapt to new services and features in real-time while maintaining stable operational parameters through automated validation and consistency checks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Aspects of the present disclosure include techniques for dynamically exchanging session initiation protocol (SIP) configurations between a SIP node and a neighbor SIP node. For example, a SIP node may send a first request to the neighbor SIP node to subscribe to neighbor SIP node configurations. The SIP node may then receive a second request from the neighbor SIP node for the neighbor SIP node to subscribe to SIP node configurations. The SIP node then sends the SIP node configurations from the SIP node to the neighbor SIP node and receives the neighbor SIP node configurations from the neighbor SIP node. In some aspects, the SIP node may store the neighbor SIP node configurations to a data store for formatting subsequent SIP messages exchanged between the SIP node and the neighbor SIP node.
