Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless communication systems unnecessarily increase latency and waste network resources by connecting both mobile and stationary devices through remote base stations, regardless of their usage patterns.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a system where user devices indicate their status as mobile or stationary, allowing base stations to establish connections via local or remote network components accordingly, thereby optimizing resource usage and reducing latency.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If all devices are connected via remote base stations regardless of mobility status, then network coverage and connectivity are maintained for all devices, but latency increases and network resources are wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating connection handling based on device characteristics. Stationary devices are connected through local base station components while mobile devices use remote network components. This localized approach reduces latency for stationary devices by eliminating unnecessary remote routing while maintaining reliable connectivity for all devices through appropriate connection paths.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the network connection path into two distinct routes: local connection path for stationary devices and remote connection path for mobile devices. The base station determines device mobility status and segments traffic accordingly, connecting stationary devices locally to reduce latency while maintaining remote connectivity capabilities for mobile devices.
2Device complexity
If all devices are connected via remote base stations, then uniform network architecture is maintained, but network resources are wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamic connection routing where the base station adapts the connection path based on real-time device mobility status. Instead of a static uniform architecture, the system dynamically determines whether to use local or remote network components for each device, optimizing resource utilization by keeping stationary device connections local while maintaining remote connectivity for mobile devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the connection parameter (local vs. remote routing) based on device mobility status. The base station monitors device characteristics and changes the connection path parameter accordingly, connecting stationary devices through local components to conserve network resources while maintaining the capability to use remote components for mobile devices.
Data Source
AI summary
A device receives an attachment request from a user device, and determines whether the user device is a stationary device based on the attachment request. The device further establishes a connection between the user device and a network by using local components associated with the device when the user device is the stationary device. The local components perform functions performed by one or more of a remote mobility management entity (MME) device, a remote serving gateway (SGW), or a remote packet data network (PDN) gateway (PGW) associated with the device. The device also transmits data from the network to the user device via the local components associated with the device after establishing the connection between the user device and the network.
