Dual-Mode Capacity Reallocation via Deregistration Scanning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Wireless communication networks face challenges in managing resource allocation across different wireless services, particularly when one service becomes heavily loaded, leading to inefficiencies and potential service disruptions.
Innovation Solution
A method where a network sends a command and indicator to dual-mode wireless devices to deregister from a heavily loaded service and refrain from re-registering, prompting them to scan and connect to a lighter loaded service, thereby reallocating resources and improving network efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If wireless devices continue to use a heavily loaded wireless service, then service continuity is maintained, but network resource efficiency deteriorates and service quality degrades
Solution Approach 1:
The network performs preliminary actions by sending a deregister command and indicator to the wireless device before the heavily loaded service becomes completely overwhelmed. This proactive measure triggers the device to scan and switch to an alternative wireless service, preventing service disruption while optimizing resource allocation. The network acts in advance to reallocate resources before critical failure occurs.
2Productivity
If wireless devices are actively managed and reallocated between services, then network efficiency improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The wireless device performs self-service by autonomously scanning for and selecting an alternative wireless service when prompted by the network's deregister command and indicator. The device independently completes the re-registration process with the new service without requiring complex network orchestration. This self-service approach simplifies network management while achieving efficient resource reallocation.
3Productivity
If wireless devices scan for alternative services, then resource reallocation is achieved, but time and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The wireless device maintains a pre-configured capability to scan for alternative wireless services and has the potential to identify available options in advance. When the network sends the deregister command and indicator, the device can quickly switch to a pre-identified alternative service, minimizing the time and energy required for the transition process.

AI summary
Using a first station, a wireless device is communicated with via a first type of wireless service. Resources associated with the wireless device are determined they should be re-allocated. A command and an indicator that result in the wireless device scanning for a second type of wireless service are sent to the wireless device.
