Solution Overview

Problem

Current mechanisms in cellular wireless communication systems fail to correctly parse and implement the valid time of trigger messages, leading to incorrect removal of trigger messages and wastage of network storage resources.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that indicate the valid time of a trigger message through a validity period parameter, which includes a validity period format and a validity period, allowing the network to correctly parse and implement the valid time, preventing incorrect removal of the trigger message.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the valid time of trigger message is indicated without a correct parsing mechanism, then the trigger message removal timing cannot be controlled, but this leads to wrong removal of trigger messages and waste of network storage resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrigger message removal accuracyVSAvoidnetwork storage resources
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by including the validity period parameter in the trigger message before it is stored in the network. This allows the network side entity to pre-process and determine the expiration time of the trigger message, ensuring accurate removal without wasting storage resources. The validity period is embedded in advance, enabling the network to automatically manage the trigger message lifecycle.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Duration of action of stationary object

If the valid time of trigger message is indicated without a correct parsing mechanism, then the trigger message can be stored indefinitely, but this results in wrong removal or failure to remove the trigger message

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrigger message storage durationVSAvoidtrigger message removal accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of stationary objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the manual or error-prone mechanical process of tracking trigger message validity with an automated system-based approach. The network side entity automatically parses the validity period parameter and manages the trigger message lifecycle based on the embedded validity information, eliminating human error and ensuring reliable removal at the correct time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Device complexity

If no validity period parameter is included in the trigger message, then the network cannot track the valid time, but this causes incorrect removal decisions and resource waste

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrigger message structureVSAvoidnetwork storage resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the trigger message into distinct components, including a dedicated validity period parameter. This segmentation allows the network to clearly identify and process the validity information separately from other message content, enabling accurate tracking and removal without increasing overall system complexity. The validity period is a discrete, parseable element within the message structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

The disclosure provides a method and a system for indicating a valid time of a trigger message, to indicate the valid time of the trigger message through a validity period parameter in the trigger message. The validity period parameter includes: a validity period format and a validity period. The method further comprises: a server transmits the trigger message to a network side entity (201); and the network side entity transmits the trigger message to a terminal after successfully parsing and storing the trigger message (202). Through the method and the system, a network is capable of correctly parsing the trigger message and implementing the valid time in the trigger message and thus avoids a wrong removal of a trigger message.
