Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a wide range of different nodes are provided for providing service to each subscriber, then service coverage and reliability are improved, but device complexity and information management burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the network into multiple nodes (access network, core network, service network) with dedicated functions. Collection servers are distributed across these nodes to collect subscriber information locally, reducing central complexity while maintaining comprehensive service coverage through specialized function distribution.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces mediation servers as intermediary components between collection servers and application servers. These mediation servers aggregate and process subscriber profiles from multiple sources, simplifying the interaction complexity between numerous network nodes while ensuring reliable service delivery.
2Measurement precision
If big data management solutions are implemented to handle vast subscriber information, then profile generation accuracy is improved, but processing time and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by continuously collecting and pre-processing subscriber information in real-time before profile generation is needed. Collection servers gather data from multiple sources ongoing, and mediation servers prepare aggregated profiles in advance, enabling instant retrieval and reducing processing time when profile generation is triggered.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a temporal dimension to profile management by implementing real-time continuous collection alongside historical data aggregation. This multi-dimensional approach (real-time + historical, individual + aggregate) enables accurate profile generation without excessive processing delays by leveraging pre-computed data from multiple time dimensions.
3Speed
If real-time profile generation and action triggering are implemented, then response speed to subscriber actions is improved, but system complexity and computational load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the real-time processing system into distributed collection servers at network nodes and mediation servers for profile aggregation. This segmentation enables parallel real-time data collection across multiple nodes, achieving fast response speeds while distributing computational load to manage system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements self-service mechanisms where collection servers autonomously collect data from their local network nodes, and mediation servers automatically aggregate profiles and trigger actions based on predefined rules. This automation reduces the need for complex centralized control while maintaining real-time response capabilities through distributed autonomous operation.

AI summary
A method and a system for triggering actions, based on a subscriber profile, in a telecommunication network are disclosed herein, comprising a collection step, performed in each of a plurality of collection servers, to collect, from different types of sources within the network, such as from log-files, or subscriber specific records, or counters, subscriber-level information on a subscriber using the telecommunication network wherein each of the collection servers is connected to a plurality of the sources. Further including a processing step, performed at each of the collection servers, to process the obtained subscriber-level information and/or correlate subscriber-level information obtained from the different sources to obtain behavioral information on the subscriber and a storing and indexing step to store the subscriber-level information in an unprocessed format and to generate and update an index, which allows indexed access to the stored subscriber-level information as well as a profile generating step, performed at a plurality of mediation servers, to generate a subscriber profile by assigning the behavioral information and the obtained subscriber-level information to the subscriber wherein each mediation server is connected to a plurality of collection servers. Furthermore, a trigger step, performed in the plurality of the mediation servers, to first evaluate, based on the generated subscriber profile, whether specific network adjustments for the subscriber are required and to trigger actions that cause the network to perform the required specific network adjustments is disclosed herein wherein the trigger step is carried out in real time or near real time, preferably within 1 second after the collection step on which the trigger step is based and a storing step to store the obtained subscriber profile.
