Distributed Telecommunication Device Control Systems for Latency Optimization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wide-area telecommunications networks for IP devices face inefficiencies due to high latency and resource congestion, especially when calls traverse long distances, and existing solutions do not allow for efficient resource sharing across multiple organizations.
Innovation Solution
A global shared telecommunication network with a plurality of telecommunication device control systems implemented by a computer system, where resources such as media, border controllers, and conference call controllers are dynamically allocated based on geographical location, latency, bandwidth, cost, and service level agreements to optimize communication connections between IP telephones and video phones.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If a single physical PBX is shared by multiple organizations, then resource utilization improves, but call latency and congestion loss increase due to long-distance routing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the monolithic shared PBX into multiple geographically distributed PBX instances. Each organization can connect to the nearest PBX location, reducing call latency while maintaining resource sharing capabilities across the distributed network.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a geographical dimension to the PBX deployment, transitioning from a single centralized location to multiple distributed locations. This allows calls to be routed through nearby PBX instances rather than forcing all traffic through a single physical location.
2Speed
If dedicated PBX systems are deployed at multiple locations for a single organization, then call routing efficiency improves, but resource sharing across organizations is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates PBX instances that serve multiple functions and multiple organizations simultaneously. Each geographically distributed PBX can serve local calls for its organization while also providing resources to other organizations in the distributed network, achieving both routing efficiency and resource sharing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the benefits of dedicated local PBX systems with the resource sharing capabilities of shared PBX by combining multiple geographically distributed instances into a unified network architecture that supports both organizational autonomy and cross-organizational resource utilization.
3Productivity
If telephones are moved to different locations in a dedicated network, then local resource usage improves, but system complexity increases due to manual reconfiguration
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic, automatic PBX allocation that adapts to telephone location changes without manual intervention. The system automatically determines the optimal PBX instance for each telephone based on geographical location and network conditions, eliminating the need for manual reconfiguration while maintaining local resource usage benefits.
