Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If UE information is stored dispersedly in different network function entities, then the network architecture maintains modular flexibility and ease of operation, but the network lacks holistic information about UE characteristics and cannot exercise precise, optimized, and intelligent control
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments UE information into different categories (subscription information, mobility information, session management information, service information, application information, AI/ML information) and stores them in different network function entities (UDM, AMF, SMF, etc.). This segmentation maintains the modular architecture while enabling precise control through the digital twin that integrates all segmented information.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a digital twin (information model) as a copy of the UE that consolidates all dispersed UE information. This copy enables holistic and precise control without requiring physical centralization of information, resolving the contradiction between distributed storage and unified control.
2Adaptability or versatility
If UE information is stored in multiple network function entities, then the system achieves functional specialization and adaptability, but the network cannot exercise optimized and intelligent control due to lack of holistic information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides UE information into specialized categories stored in different network function entities, with each entity responsible for specific types of information. This segmentation maintains functional adaptability while the digital twin integrates all segmented information to prevent loss of holistic understanding.
Solution Approach 2:
The digital twin serves as a universal information model that can provide holistic UE information to multiple different network functions and applications. It acts as a multi-functional interface that enables optimized and intelligent control across different network scenarios while preserving the specialized distributed storage architecture.
