Telecommunication Session Setup for Tracking Data Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional communication methods for tracking services, such as short messages, GPRS transmissions, and circuit switched data calls, face issues with delayed message delivery due to network congestion, high power consumption, and unpredictable billing, which are not suitable for critical tracking applications.
Innovation Solution
The method involves using a session setup request to deliver information within the telecommunications system, allowing one endpoint to be configured with multiple addresses associated with operational functions, enabling quick information exchange and reducing power consumption by minimizing the transceiving mode duration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If short messages are used for communication, then message delivery is delayed due to network congestion, but the messaging service is easy to compose and manage
Solution Approach 1:
The communication process is segmented into session setup phase and data transfer phase. By separating these phases, the patent enables critical tracking information to be transmitted during the session setup phase before network congestion affects the short message center, thus improving delivery reliability and reducing latency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary actions by establishing a data session and transmitting tracking information during the session setup phase before the actual service data transmission. This preliminary transmission ensures that critical information is delivered promptly without waiting for the short message center to process messages.
2Loss of information
If GPRS transmissions are used, then information exchange is achieved, but power consumption increases due to extended transceiving mode duration
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables continuous tracking information exchange by utilizing the data session established during session setup. The tracking information is transmitted continuously during the session without requiring the device to repeatedly enter and exit transceiving mode, thus reducing power consumption while maintaining information exchange capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The data session is established in advance during session setup, and tracking information is transmitted during this preliminary phase. This eliminates the need for repeated session activations, reducing the duration of transceiving mode and thereby reducing power consumption.
3Loss of information
If circuit switched data calls are used, then data transmission is achieved, but the wireless transmitter must remain on during the call duration causing high power consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the communication into session setup with data transmission and subsequent service data transmission phases. This allows the wireless transmitter to be turned off during the service data transmission phase since the tracking information has already been delivered, thereby reducing power consumption while maintaining data transmission capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The tracking information is transmitted as a preliminary action during session setup before the actual service data transmission begins. This allows the wireless transmitter to be deactivated during the service phase, reducing power consumption while ensuring data transmission capability is maintained for critical information.
4Loss of information
If conventional communication mechanisms are used, then message delivery is achieved, but charging is based on rate basis which is unpredictable for subscribers
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the tracking information transmission with the session setup procedure. By combining these functions, the transmission is performed as part of the network's normal session management operations rather than as a separate charged data transmission, enabling flat fee charging and improving billing predictability for subscribers.

AI summary
A telecommunication system includes a first node, a second node and a network. The first node is configured with a set of predefined functions and a group of addresses of the telecommunication network such that a session setup request targeted to any address in the group of addresses is routed to the first node, and each address in the group of addresses is associated with at least one of the predefined functions. The second node is configured to send a session setup request to a target address that corresponds to an address in the group of addresses. The first node is configured to determine the function to be performed on the basis of the target address in the session setup request. Information delivery from the second node to the first node is implemented quickly. In the second node the power consumption may be significantly reduced.
