Cell Assignment for Carrier Aggregation via QoS Subscriber Categories
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing carrier aggregation technologies do not adequately differentiate between subscriber categories when assigning cells, leading to inefficient bandwidth allocation, misuse of network resources, and poor subscriber experiences.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for assigning cells for carrier aggregation in a telecommunications network that takes into account subscriber categories, behaviors, and plans, using quality of service (QOS) indicators to dynamically assign carriers and cells based on subscriber preferences and network conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If carrier aggregation assigns available cells without regard to subscriber categories, then the system is simple and easy to operate, but network resource allocation becomes inefficient and load balancing deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating cell assignment strategies based on subscriber categories. Different QoS classes (e.g., 5Q1 values) receive different treatment in carrier aggregation cell assignment, allowing optimized resource allocation for each subscriber type while maintaining a unified overall system framework.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of subscriber category classification to optimize cell assignment. By introducing QoS indicators and subscriber behavior parameters, the system dynamically adjusts cell assignment decisions based on these parameters, improving network resource utilization without requiring complete system redesign.
2Reliability
If uniform cell assignment is used for all subscribers, then the system is easy to implement, but subscriber experience differentiation and service quality vary poorly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements local quality by providing differentiated cell assignment experiences for different subscriber categories. High-priority subscribers receive preferential treatment in cell selection and carrier aggregation configuration, ensuring reliable service quality for premium users while maintaining basic service for standard users.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces dynamic cell assignment that adapts to subscriber behavior and network conditions. The network can dynamically adjust which cells are assigned to which subscribers based on real-time QoS requirements, subscriber category, and network load, enhancing service reliability without static rigid configurations.
3Productivity
If carrier aggregation does not consider subscriber behavior, then the assignment process is simple, but network resource misuse and congestion increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms by monitoring subscriber behavior and network resource usage patterns. This information feeds back into the cell assignment decision-making process, allowing the system to adjust assignments based on observed subscriber patterns, preventing resource misuse while optimizing overall network utilization.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary classification of subscribers into categories based on their behavior patterns and service requirements. This preliminary action enables proactive cell assignment strategies that prevent resource misuse before it occurs, rather than reacting to problems after they arise.
Data Source
AI summary
Systems and methods for carrier aggregation based on subscriber category information, such as for New Radio Carrier Aggregation in a 5G Network. A call is placed via a calling device and detected at a node of a network. A user equipment capability check is performed, which determines whether the calling device supports carrier aggregation. Subscriber information is received associated with the calling device, including a quality of service (QOS) identifier associated with a subscriber category. Based on the QoS identifier, two or more carriers are selected and assigned. The QoS identifier is associated with a relative priority for assigning cells based on corresponding bandwidth. Call setup is initiated via the two or more carriers.
