Solution Overview
Problem
Challenges exist in efficiently managing cellular network and service selections for user equipment (UEs) due to limitations in network and service selection management capabilities, leading to suboptimal service quality and increased computational and memory resource usage.
Innovation Solution
Utilizing carrier configuration data and UE cellular network data to manage network and service selections, including toggle switches for intuitive user input, and override settings to prioritize service provider data over user selections, optimizing network connections and service usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If service providers and UEs have limited network and service selection management capabilities, then the system is simpler to operate, but service quality deteriorates and selection accuracy decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the network and service selection management into two segments: (1) Service providers manage carrier configuration data including network identifiers and service parameters; (2) UEs receive and apply this configuration data locally. This segmentation allows complex management functions to be distributed, improving selection accuracy while maintaining operational simplicity for end users.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces carrier configuration data as an intermediary mechanism that mediates between service provider intentions and UE selections. This configuration data acts as a pre-processed instruction set that guides UE network and service selections, thereby improving accuracy without requiring complex UE capabilities.
2Device complexity
If UEs have limited management capabilities, then device complexity is reduced, but network transition frequency increases and service quality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by having service providers pre-configure carrier configuration data that includes preferred network identifiers, service parameters, and selection priorities. UEs receive this pre-configured data and apply it automatically during network selection, eliminating the need for complex real-time decision-making capabilities in UEs while improving network selection efficiency and reducing transition frequency.
3Adaptability or versatility
If manual network and service selection is used, then user control is maximized, but computational and memory resource usage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by implementing a hybrid approach where carrier configuration data provides default selection guidance that requires minimal processing, while still allowing users to override specific selections when needed. This reduces computational and memory resource usage by avoiding full manual evaluation of all network options, while preserving user control flexibility through selective override capabilities.
Data Source
AI summary
Described herein are techniques, devices, and systems for managing, by service providers, telecommunication network selection data, which can include user equipment (UE) data and carrier configuration data. The UE data, which can be identified based on user selections of toggles displayed in user interfaces (UIs) of UEs, and the carrier configuration data, can be utilized for selections of networks and/or network services for the UEs. The carrier configuration data can be utilized to override the UE data.
