Solution Overview

Problem

5G-NR networks face challenges in providing reliable and high-quality service due to congestion, especially when multiple devices access the internet simultaneously, leading to performance issues such as slowed video game performance and increased latency.

Innovation Solution

Implementing APIs and subscription services that enable 5G-NR networks to share analytic data across radio access, transport, and core networks, allowing devices to adjust network settings such as modulation schemes, routing protocols, and application settings to optimize performance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If multiple devices access the internet simultaneously through 5G-NR networks, then network connectivity is provided, but network congestion occurs and performance slows down

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of concurrent devicesVSAvoidnetwork performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic network slicing that adjusts resource allocation in real-time based on traffic conditions and service requirements. Network slices are not static but can be created, modified, and terminated dynamically to optimize performance for varying numbers of concurrent devices while maintaining quality of service.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent divides the 5G-NR network into multiple independent network slices, each dedicated to specific services or applications. This segmentation allows different slices to handle different types of traffic independently, preventing congestion in one slice from affecting others, thereby maintaining overall network performance even with many concurrent devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Quantity of substance

If large amounts of data are transmitted in 5G-NR networks, then data transfer capability is provided, but network congestion is exacerbated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission volumeVSAvoidnetwork congestion
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments data traffic into different network slices based on application requirements, prioritizing time-sensitive data (such as gaming or voice) in dedicated slices while handling bulk data transfers in other slices. This prevents large data transmissions from congesting the entire network and affecting time-critical services.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different quality of service parameters and resource allocation strategies to different network slices based on their specific requirements. High-priority traffic receives guaranteed bandwidth and lower latency treatment, while best-effort traffic can utilize available capacity, allowing large data transfers without degrading overall network performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If network settings are adjusted to improve performance, then service quality is enhanced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice qualityVSAvoidnetwork configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service mechanisms where network slices automatically adjust their parameters and resource allocation based on monitored performance metrics and service level agreements. This automation reduces the need for manual configuration and management, lowering operational complexity while maintaining high service quality through continuous optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

Apparatuses, systems, and techniques including APIs, subscription services, and controllers to enable one or more fifth generation new radio (5G-NR) networks to share information. For example, a processor comprising one or more circuits can perform an API or subscription service to cause a device in a radio access network (RAN) to share its analytic data with a device in a transport network, and said device in said transport network can use said analytic data to adjust its network settings to improve performance.
