Dual Storage Geolocation System for Mobile Network Data Retrieval
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile radio communication networks face challenges in providing detailed, real-time quality of service information due to reliance on average statistics and inefficient data storage and retrieval processes, leading to delayed fault identification and costly equipment requirements.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a dual storage system where a first storage area directly linked to processing units stores all user session data and a second storage area stores subsets of data for network operations, allowing for near real-time access and reduced data processing, enabling faster fault diagnosis and network optimization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a single large storage device is used to store all communication session data, then complete data availability is achieved, but data retrieval time and processing complexity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The storage system is divided into multiple storage devices, each responsible for storing data from specific Radio Network Controllers (RNCs). This segmentation allows parallel data retrieval from different storage devices simultaneously, reducing overall retrieval time while maintaining complete data availability across the distributed storage architecture.
2Measurement precision
If all communication session data is stored for detailed analysis, then measurement precision is improved, but storage costs and data processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments data by RNC and stores it in separate storage devices, enabling selective retrieval of data from specific RNCs based on fault location. This reduces the quantity of data that needs to be stored and processed at any given time while maintaining the ability to access detailed data for precise quality of service measurements when needed.
3Measurement precision
If detailed geolocation data is stored for all users, then fault detection accuracy is improved, but device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the network into multiple RNCs, each with its own storage device. Geolocation data is stored only for users connected to specific RNCs based on fault detection needs, rather than for all users across the entire network. This reduces the overall volume of data requiring storage while maintaining accurate fault detection capability for the relevant network segments.
4Productivity
If real-time data processing is implemented, then productivity is improved, but data processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
Communication session data is stored in the storage devices as it arrives from RNCs, preparing it for future retrieval and analysis. When faults are detected, the pre-stored data can be immediately accessed and processed without requiring real-time processing during the fault occurrence, thus improving fault diagnosis speed while reducing the processing time burden during critical events.

AI summary
A system (200) and method (500) are provided for storing communication session data and geolocation information derived from a wireless mobile communications system (210). A record of data for each communication session taking place in at least one geographical region of the mobile radio communications network (210) is stored (510) in a first storage area (220). Each record of data is accessed (520), and a subset of the data for each communication session is stored (530) in a second storage area (250). Geo-location information is derived (540) for each communication session, and stored in the second storage area (250) The method and system may allow much more rapid access to subsets of data, and if necessary to the original records.
