Dual-Storage Geolocation System for Mobile Network QoS
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile radio communication networks face challenges in providing real-time, detailed quality of service information due to reliance on average statistics and inefficient data storage and retrieval processes, which result in delayed fault identification and costly equipment requirements.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a dual-storage system where the first storage area directly links to processing units for immediate access to individual user session data and a second storage area for reduced, processed data that can be accessed in real-time, significantly reducing data processing time and storage costs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If comprehensive communication session data is captured and stored for quality of service assessment, then measurement precision is improved, but loss of time increases due to batch processing delays
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-processing communication session data to extract and store geolocation information and quality of service parameters in an organized format before they are needed for analysis. This allows the system to quickly retrieve and analyze specific quality metrics without having to process raw data from scratch, thereby reducing the time loss while maintaining measurement precision.
2Measurement precision
If detailed communication session data is stored for later analysis, then measurement precision is improved, but loss of substance increases due to extensive storage requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the extraction principle by selectively extracting only the essential elements from comprehensive communication session data - specifically geolocation information and quality of service parameters - and storing only these extracted elements. This eliminates the need to store entire raw communication records, significantly reducing storage resource requirements while preserving the measurement precision needed for quality assessment.
3Measurement precision
If geolocation information is derived from GPS receivers, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing the geolocation system to work with multiple positioning methods through a unified interface. The system can process geolocation data from GPS receivers, network-based positioning, or other sources without requiring different processing architectures, thereby reducing overall device complexity while maintaining the ability to achieve high measurement precision when GPS data is available.
4Ease of operation
If per-cell quality of service statistics are collected, then ease of operation is improved, but measurement precision deteriorates due to averaging effects
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the quality of service data analysis into two levels: maintaining simple per-cell aggregate statistics for overall network monitoring, and simultaneously preserving individual communication session records with detailed geolocation information for precise problem diagnosis. This segmentation allows operators to easily monitor overall cell performance while being able to drill down into specific location-based issues when needed, thus maintaining both ease of operation and measurement precision.

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.
