Solution Overview

Problem

Current 5G wireless communication systems lack an efficient method for renewing subscription information for network data analysis, leading to unnecessary signal message transmissions and performance degradation due to resource reallocation during changes in terminal movement or data collection conditions.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for configuring and renewing service subscriptions between network functions in a wireless communication system, allowing for changes to subscription information based on predetermined conditions without canceling and reconfiguring existing subscriptions, thereby reducing unnecessary message transmissions and resource reallocation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If subscription information is changed by canceling and reconfiguring existing subscriptions, then subscription information can be updated, but unnecessary signal message transmissions and resource reallocation occur causing performance degradation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesubscription information update capabilityVSAvoidnetwork performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by establishing subscription information change notification mechanisms in advance. When subscription information needs to be changed, the system notifies relevant network functions beforehand, allowing them to prepare for the change without requiring complete cancellation and reconfiguration of existing subscriptions, thus avoiding unnecessary resource reallocation and performance degradation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements dynamic subscription information management where subscription details can be modified in real-time without breaking the existing subscription framework. Network functions can dynamically update subscription information (such as data collection requirements, analysis parameters) while maintaining the active subscription state, eliminating the need for static cancel-reconfigure cycles

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If existing subscriptions are canceled and reconfigured to change subscription information, then updated subscription requirements can be met, but unnecessary signal message transmissions occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesubscription configuration flexibilityVSAvoidmessage transmission time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The invention extracts the essential subscription information (such as data collection parameters, analysis requirements) from the complete subscription framework. When changes are needed, only the specific extracted information elements are updated and notified, rather than canceling and retransmitting the entire subscription configuration, thus reducing message transmission time while maintaining configuration flexibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The subscription information is segmented into modular components (subscription identifier, data collection parameters, analysis requirements, notification settings). This segmentation allows selective updating of only the changed segments through targeted notification messages, avoiding the need to transmit complete reconfiguration messages for entire subscriptions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
