Bandwidth Control via Group Identity and Aggregate Bit Rate
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bandwidth control devices face increased burdens in managing multiple user equipment groups, as they individually obtain aggregate maximum bit rates from subscription databases, leading to inefficiencies in resource allocation.
Innovation Solution
A method and system where a bandwidth control device performs bandwidth control based on group identity and group-aggregate maximum bit rate parameter information, reducing the burden by managing multiple user equipment groups as a single unit, thereby enhancing control capabilities and optimizing resource allocation.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a bandwidth control device respectively obtains aggregate maximum bit rate of each user equipment from subscription database through mobile management network element, then bandwidth control can be performed for each user equipment, but the burden on bandwidth control device and mobile management network element increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple user equipment into a group with a common group identity. The bandwidth control device obtains a single group aggregate maximum bit rate for the entire group from the subscription database, rather than obtaining individual aggregate maximum bit rates for each user equipment. This combining approach maintains bandwidth control capability while significantly reducing the burden on both the bandwidth control device and mobile management network element.
2Reliability
If a bandwidth control device respectively obtains aggregate maximum bit rate of each user equipment from subscription database through mobile management network element, then bandwidth control can be performed for each user equipment, but the burden on mobile management network element increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple user equipment into a group with a common group identity. The mobile management network element only needs to obtain a single group aggregate maximum bit rate for the entire group from the subscription database, rather than querying individual aggregate maximum bit rates for each user equipment separately. This reduces the signaling load and processing burden on the mobile management network element while maintaining effective bandwidth control capability.
3Measurement precision
If bandwidth control is performed individually for each user equipment, then precise control can be achieved, but resource allocation efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple user equipment into a group and performs bandwidth control at the group level using a single group aggregate maximum bit rate. This approach maintains sufficient control precision for group-based resource management while significantly improving resource allocation efficiency by reducing the number of control operations and signaling interactions required.
Solution Approach 2:
The group identity serves as a universal identifier for multiple user equipment, and the group aggregate maximum bit rate serves as a universal control parameter for the entire group. This universal approach enables efficient resource allocation across multiple user equipment while maintaining consistent bandwidth control policies, improving overall system productivity.
