Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing resource management methods in telecommunications networks fail to address the regulation of resource exchanges between operators, leading to inefficiencies and security/administration challenges in network sharing scenarios.
Innovation Solution
A centralized resource management module that includes reliability and common objective information to regulate resource exchanges, ensuring compliance with predefined rules and regulatory constraints, and uses a consensus-based moderation system to optimize resource utilization among multiple operators.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If operators share telecommunications infrastructure dynamically, then network coverage costs are reduced and resource utilization is improved, but security and administration problems arise for customers and operators
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a centralized resource management module that acts as an intermediary between multiple operators. This module mediates resource allocation, authentication, and monitoring, thereby enabling efficient resource sharing while maintaining security and administrative control. The intermediary handles all interactions between operators and the shared infrastructure, resolving the contradiction by centralizing control functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the centralized module continuously monitors resource usage, operator performance, and security conditions. Based on this feedback, the module dynamically adjusts resource allocation and enforces policies, ensuring that security requirements are maintained while optimizing resource utilization. The feedback loop enables real-time adaptation to changing conditions.
2Productivity
If a centralized resource management module is implemented, then resource exchanges between operators are automated and efficiency is improved, but the system complexity and regulatory compliance requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The centralized resource management module is designed as a universal platform that handles multiple functions including resource allocation, authentication, monitoring, and regulatory compliance for multiple operators simultaneously. By consolidating these diverse functions into a single multi-functional system, the patent reduces overall system complexity compared to having separate management systems for each operator.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses parameter-based configuration to manage complexity. Regulatory rules, resource allocation policies, and operator permissions are defined as adjustable parameters that can be modified without changing the underlying system architecture. This allows the system to adapt to different regulatory environments and operational requirements while maintaining a consistent core structure.
3Reliability
If operators deploy their own specific infrastructure, then network coverage and service quality are ensured, but deployment costs especially in white areas become expensive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables multiple operators to merge their infrastructure requirements into a single shared physical infrastructure. Operators can share base stations, transmission networks, and other network elements, particularly in white areas where individual deployment would be costly. The centralized management module ensures that each operator's service quality requirements are met through virtualized resource allocation and quality of service management.

ABSTRACT Method for managing telecommunications resources dynamically allocated to a plurality of telecommunications operators, computer program product and corresponding devices. The invention relates to a method for managing telecommunications resources dynamically allocated to a plurality of telecommunications operators. According to such a method, at least one centralised module (200) for managing resources performs the following steps: - receiving (E310) a request for resources issued by a module (210B), referred to as the requesting module, representing one of the plurality of telecommunications operators, referred to as the requesting operator, to at least one centralised module for managing resources; - sending (E340), to the requesting module, and in response to the request, at least one offer of resources. The at least one offer of resources comprises: - an item of information, referred to as the item of common objective information, representing a resource management objective that is common to the plurality of telecommunications operators; and/or - at least one item of reliability information from at least one other telecommunications operator of the plurality of operators, referred to as the offering operator, making the at least one offer of resources.
