Dynamic Group Event Notifications for 5G Streaming
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current subscription-based procedures for network-initiated streaming services in 5G wireless communication networks are not flexible enough to handle various use cases and do not easily scale to large numbers of users, limiting their effectiveness in targeting users in dynamically created groups within specified areas.
Innovation Solution
A mechanism for dynamic group event notifications is introduced, allowing advertisers to target users in specified areas with user-defined target areas, enabling updates when users establish a Packet Data Unit (PDU) session and incorporating alternating reporting and non-reporting periods, which synchronizes network-initiated streaming with traffic signal patterns or other event timing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If subscription-based procedures are used for network-initiated streaming services, then service delivery is enabled, but flexibility and scalability to large numbers of users is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the target user group into dynamic groups based on geographic location and event context. Instead of individual subscriptions for each user, the system creates group-based event notifications that can target multiple users simultaneously, thereby improving flexibility and scalability while reducing procedural complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic group event notifications that can adapt to changing user presence and event conditions in real-time. The system dynamically creates, modifies, and terminates notification groups based on user location, event timing, and engagement status, enabling flexible scaling without increasing procedural complexity.
2Measurement precision
If individual user targeting is implemented, then precise advertising delivery is achieved, but scalability to large numbers of users is difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges individual user targeting into group-based event notifications. By combining multiple users into dynamic groups based on shared characteristics (location, event participation), the system maintains precise targeting capabilities while achieving scalable deployment across large user populations without proportional increases in complexity.
3Reliability
If continuous event monitoring is performed, then real-time user presence detection is achieved, but network resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic event monitoring instead of continuous monitoring. The system checks for user presence and event conditions at defined intervals and triggers notifications only when relevant changes occur, thereby maintaining real-time detection accuracy while significantly reducing network resource consumption compared to continuous monitoring approaches.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a mechanism supporting event notifications for dynamic group events targeting any user (e.g. all users) in a specified target area. The target area for the dynamic group event is user-defined (i.e., defined by the advertiser) and can be based on a priori information. For example, the target area for a dynamic group event can be a traffic signal location, an area within a shopping mall, a historic site, a venue for a sporting event or trade fair, other locations where dynamically created groups are likely to occur. In some embodiments, the dynamic group event includes an option to receive updates when a user within a target area establishes a Packet Data Unit (PDU) session after entering the target area but before leaving. Also, the dynamic group event can include alternating periods for reporting and non-reporting, which is useful, for example, in the traffic signal scenario to synchronize the network-initiated streaming with the traffic signal pattern.
