Communication System Quota Enforcement for 5G Network Overload
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication systems in 5G networks lack effective mechanisms to enforce data rate and session limitations per network slice and mobile terminal, leading to potential overload and performance degradation.
Innovation Solution
A communication system comprising a quota storage component, a communication control component, and a notification component that stores and enforces data rate, session, and terminal quotas, ensuring compliance by monitoring and controlling data rates and session establishment to prevent overload.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If data rate and session limitations are not enforced in 5G networks, then network capacity and flexibility are improved, but network overload and performance degradation occur
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring quota specifications in the quota storage component before network operations begin. The communication control component continuously monitors data rates and session numbers against these pre-set quotas, preventing overload before it occurs rather than reacting after degradation happens.
Solution Approach 2:
The notification component provides continuous feedback to the communication control component about current data rates and session numbers. This feedback loop enables the system to dynamically adjust communications to maintain compliance with quotas, ensuring network performance is preserved while maximizing capacity utilization.
2Reliability
If quota enforcement mechanisms are implemented, then network performance and overload prevention are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The quota enforcement system is segmented into three independent functional components: quota storage component for storing quota specifications, communication control component for monitoring and controlling communications, and notification component for providing status updates. This segmentation allows each component to perform its function independently, simplifying the overall system architecture while maintaining comprehensive quota enforcement.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication control component performs multiple functions: it monitors data rates, counts sessions, compares against quotas, and controls communications to ensure compliance. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate specialized components, thereby reducing overall system complexity while maintaining reliable overload prevention.
3Productivity
If data rate is increased for mobile terminals, then user satisfaction and productivity are improved, but network quota limits are exceeded
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts data rates for mobile terminals based on real-time quota status. When quota availability permits, data rates are increased to maximize productivity and user satisfaction. When approaching quota limits, the communication control component dynamically reduces data rates or prioritizes critical communications, ensuring continuous operation within quota boundaries while optimizing performance.

AI summary
According to various embodiments, a communication system is described comprising a quota storage component configured to store a specification of a quota limiting a data rate, a number of communication sessions or a number of registered mobile terminals, a communication control component and a notification component configured to notify the communication control component about the quota. The communication control component is configured to control communication with at least one mobile terminal such that the quota is fulfilled.
