Solution Overview

Problem

As the number of mobile communication-equipped physical devices in IoT infrastructure grows, existing wireless telephone technologies face challenges in managing increased latency, performance, and jitter, necessitating advancements in wireless network technologies to efficiently manage the expanded network demands.

Innovation Solution

A system for automated application exchange in wireless networks, which includes endpoint devices, mobile edge computing devices, application provider computing devices, and network operator computing devices, facilitates the negotiation and delivery of applications and services through a network that automatically manages service level agreements (SLAs) and resource allocation to ensure efficient application access and usage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If the number of mobile telecommunication-equipped physical devices in IoT infrastructure increases, then the network capacity and device connectivity improve, but the latency, performance degradation, and jitter increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of mobile telecommunication-equipped physical devicesVSAvoidlatency
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the network into multiple access points distributed across different locations, allowing IoT devices to connect to nearby access points rather than a centralized remote server. This spatial segmentation reduces communication distance and latency, enabling the network to handle increased device quantities efficiently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a spatial dimension to network architecture by deploying access points throughout the network area. Instead of all devices communicating through a single centralized point, devices can connect to geographically distributed access points, adding a spatial layer to the network topology that reduces latency and improves performance as device density increases.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Quantity of substance

If the number of mobile telecommunication-equipped physical devices in IoT infrastructure increases, then the network capacity improves, but the performance and jitter deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of mobile telecommunication-equipped physical devicesVSAvoidperformance and jitter
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The network is segmented into multiple independent access point nodes, each handling local device communications. This segmentation isolates performance issues to individual segments rather than affecting the entire network, maintaining reliability and consistent jitter characteristics even as the total number of devices increases.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where access points monitor network conditions, device performance metrics, and jitter levels. Based on this feedback, the system can dynamically adjust resource allocation, route selections, and load balancing to maintain performance reliability as device density increases.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If automated application exchange and SLA negotiation are implemented, then resource allocation efficiency improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service automation where applications and services autonomously negotiate service level agreements (SLAs) and exchange application data without human intervention. The automated application exchange system performs resource allocation, pricing negotiations, and service provisioning automatically, improving productivity while the modular architecture manages complexity by encapsulating automated processes within standardized components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal automated application exchange framework that can handle multiple types of applications, services, and negotiation scenarios through a single standardized system. This multi-functional platform manages diverse resource allocation tasks using common protocols and interfaces, improving overall resource allocation efficiency across the network while avoiding the complexity of multiple separate systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
