Solution Overview

Problem

The 3GPP protocol lacks clear guidance on configuring traffic descriptor (TD) parameters for applications across multiple operators, leading to inefficiencies in terminal configuration.

Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the terminal configures TD parameters for multiple operators separately, then the configuration process becomes complex and time-consuming, but the protocol lacks clear guidance on how to efficiently configure TD parameters across multiple operators

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveTD parameter configuration efficiencyVSAvoidconfiguration process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges TD parameters from multiple operators into a single profile structure. The terminal receives one unified profile containing TD parameters for multiple operators, eliminating the need to process multiple separate configurations. This combining approach directly resolves the contradiction by improving configuration efficiency while maintaining organized structure through a unified profile format.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The profile structure is designed to be universal, supporting TD parameters for multiple operators within a single configuration object. This multi-functional profile can accommodate different operators' TD parameters simultaneously, allowing the terminal to handle multiple operator configurations through a single universal mechanism rather than operator-specific procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Measurement precision

If the terminal parses multiple configuration files for different operators, then the configuration accuracy may improve, but the time and operations required increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconfiguration accuracyVSAvoidconfiguration time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple operator-specific TD parameter configurations into a single integrated profile. Instead of parsing separate configuration files for each operator, the terminal parses one unified profile that contains all necessary TD parameters for multiple operators. This merging maintains configuration accuracy by preserving operator-specific details while eliminating redundant parsing operations and reducing configuration time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Manufacturing precision

If the protocol provides detailed guidance for TD parameter configuration across multiple operators, then configuration accuracy improves, but the protocol complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveTD parameter configuration accuracyVSAvoidprotocol complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a universal profile structure that can accommodate TD parameters for multiple operators through a standardized format. This universal approach provides the necessary configuration guidance without requiring separate detailed protocols for each operator. The single profile structure maintains configuration accuracy through a consistent format while avoiding the proliferation of multiple complex operator-specific protocol definitions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
