URSP Enforcement Reporting for Selective, Periodic Result Updates
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication systems lack efficient methods for terminals to report enforcement results of UE Route Selection Policy (URSP) rules to network-side devices, leading to unnecessary transmission overheads and inefficiencies.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for terminals to receive and report URSP rule enforcement results based on first information sent by network-side devices, allowing selective reporting of specific URSP rules, applications, or periodic reporting of multiple enforcement results, reducing transmission overheads.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the terminal reports enforcement result of URSP rule each time it enforces the rule, then the network can obtain complete enforcement information, but the transmission overhead increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic reporting where the terminal reports URSP rule enforcement results at predetermined time intervals or when specific conditions are met, rather than reporting every time the rule is enforced. This periodic action reduces the frequency of transmissions while still providing the network with necessary enforcement information, thereby reducing transmission overhead without completely losing enforcement information completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent establishes a feedback mechanism where the network configures reporting conditions and the terminal reports enforcement results based on these conditions. The network receives enforcement result information from the terminal and can use this feedback to optimize network policies. This controlled feedback approach ensures information completeness while avoiding unnecessary transmissions by using network-configured reporting conditions.
2Loss of information
If the terminal reports enforcement result for every URSP rule enforcement, then the network receives detailed enforcement data, but the network communication efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial reporting where the terminal reports only the necessary enforcement result information required by the network, rather than reporting all enforcement details every time. The network configures which enforcement results need to be reported, and the terminal selectively reports only those specified enforcement results, improving communication efficiency while maintaining necessary information detail.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the reporting parameters by introducing configurable reporting conditions and time intervals. Instead of fixed frequent reporting, the system dynamically adjusts reporting parameters based on network needs, allowing the terminal to change when and what to report. This parameter flexibility optimizes communication efficiency while preserving essential enforcement result details.
3Reliability
If the terminal reports enforcement result immediately after each enforcement action, then real-time network optimization is enabled, but the transmission frequency and overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic reporting with configurable time intervals and triggering conditions. Instead of immediate reporting after each enforcement action, the terminal reports at predetermined periods or when specific conditions are met. This maintains real-time optimization capability by ensuring the network receives enforcement information within acceptable timeframes while significantly reducing transmission quantity and overhead.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary configuration where the network pre-configures reporting conditions and parameters before the terminal needs to report enforcement results. This preliminary setup allows the terminal to autonomously determine when to report based on pre-agreed conditions, maintaining real-time optimization needs while avoiding unnecessary transmissions by using pre-configured reporting strategies.
Data Source
AI summary
This application discloses an enforcement result reporting method and receiving method, a terminal, and a network-side device. The enforcement result reporting method includes: receiving, by a terminal, first information sent by a network-side device, where the first information is a reporting indication, and the first information in carried by at least one URSP rule; and reporting, by the terminal, an enforcement result of a URSP rule according to the first information; where the reporting, by the terminal, an enforcement result of a URSP rule according to the first information includes: in a case that the terminal receives a URSP rule carrying the first information, after the terminal completes enforcement of the URSP rule carrying the first information, reporting, by the terminal, an enforcement result of the URSP rule.
