Terminal Identifier Hierarchy for Fine-Grained Network Configuration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication systems struggle to adjust or determine configuration information for terminal devices with finer granularity, failing to differentiate between different users and applications, leading to suboptimal network performance.
Innovation Solution
A communication method and system that utilizes a first identifier to indicate information related to the terminal device, such as user, application, or service information, enabling network devices to determine configuration information accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If configuration information is implemented based on UE identity only, then the system is simple to operate, but the configuration information cannot be adjusted flexibly and accurately for different users and applications
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the identifier system into multiple hierarchical levels: UE identity (first identifier) and application/service identity (second identifier). This segmentation allows the system to maintain simplicity at the base level while enabling fine-grained configuration control through additional identifier layers, directly resolving the contradiction between flexibility and complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a new dimension to the identifier system by introducing a second identifier (application/service identity) that operates alongside the traditional first identifier (UE identity). This dimensional expansion enables the system to differentiate configuration information across multiple axes (user level and application level), achieving flexibility without fundamentally complicating the core identifier mechanism.
2Productivity
If configuration information is implemented based on UE identity only, then the device complexity is low, but the network performance is suboptimal due to inability to differentiate between different users and applications
Solution Approach 1:
The configuration information is segmented into multiple levels corresponding to different identifiers. The network device determines configuration information by combining the first identifier (UE identity) and second identifier (application/service identity), enabling differentiated configuration for different users and applications, thereby improving network performance while maintaining manageable system complexity through structured segmentation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by enabling specific configuration information to be tailored to specific applications or services running on a terminal device. Instead of applying uniform configuration across all applications, the system allows each application to receive customized configuration based on its identity, improving overall network performance through localized optimization.
