Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The process of upgrading and reconstructing wireless network sites, such as transitioning from LTE to 5G, involves inefficient and error-prone manual configuration of configuration data due to the large amount of data and complex associations between managed objects (MOs), leading to poor user experience and suboptimal network performance.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for updating configuration data of a site that parses site data using MO and physical device models to determine and generate configuration data based on user-selected target devices, allowing for efficient and automated updates on the network management side, including MO instances and service associations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual configuration data creation is performed on the network management side according to a new site type or device, then configuration data can be updated, but the process is inefficient and error-prone due to the large amount of data and complex associations between MOs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses template models (MO model files and physical device model files) as reusable templates to automatically generate configuration data. Instead of manually creating configuration data from scratch, the system copies and instantiates data from these standardized templates, significantly improving efficiency and reducing errors associated with manual data entry and complex MO associations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the configuration data creation process from manual parameter-by-parameter entry to automated parameter instantiation based on template models. The system changes the state of configuration data from unstructured manual input to structured automated generation by parsing template models and instantiating MO instances according to predefined relationships, thereby improving both efficiency and accuracy.
2Loss of time
If configuration data is created on the network management side with reference to original configuration data, then some work can be reused, but the artificial data configuration is still inefficient and error-prone
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the complex configuration data into standardized template models (MO model files and physical device model files) that can be independently managed and reused. By dividing the monolithic configuration data into modular template components with defined relationships, the system enables efficient reuse while reducing the complexity of managing associations between MOs.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary action by pre-defining template models with standardized MO structures, relationships, and associations before actual configuration data creation. These pre-prepared templates contain all necessary MO instances and relationship definitions, allowing rapid instantiation and reuse without manually handling complex associations during the configuration process.
3Reliability
If network parameters are optimized to achieve optimal effect, then network performance improves, but it takes a certain amount of time resulting in relatively poor user experience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent copies optimized network parameter configurations from template models during the automated configuration data generation process. Instead of performing time-consuming network parameter optimization after site reconstruction, the system pre-templates optimized parameters in the MO models and automatically instantiates them, achieving optimal network performance immediately upon deployment without the delays associated with post-deployment optimization.
