Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies limit user devices to accessing resources from multiple network service providers by requiring separate identities or connections, restricting concurrent use of resources across different networks.

Innovation Solution

User devices can connect to and register with multiple network providers using a single identity, leveraging virtualization techniques and real-time resource allocation to concurrently utilize resources from multiple networks, with an allocation proxy server facilitating dynamic resource management and handovers between providers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing technologies (DSDS, DSDA, virtual mobile network) are used to enable user devices to access multiple network service providers, then multi-network access capability is improved, but device complexity and operational complexity increase due to requiring multiple SIM cards, different identities, or manual network switching

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemulti-network access capabilityVSAvoidcomplexity of managing multiple connections

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The user device is configured to access multiple network service providers using a single identity and a single active connection, making the device universally compatible with multiple networks without requiring multiple SIM cards or complex configuration. The device can dynamically utilize resources from different network providers through one unified interface.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

A network side entity acts as an intermediary that coordinates resource allocation between multiple network service providers. This intermediary manages the complexity of multi-network resource coordination, allowing the user device to simply connect through one network while the intermediary handles resource sharing and session management with other providers.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If user devices use separate identities or connections to access multiple network service providers, then network authentication and resource management are simplified for each provider, but the ability to concurrently utilize resources from multiple networks is restricted

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveconcurrent resource utilization across networksVSAvoidsimplicity of identity management

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables a single user identity to function across multiple network service providers simultaneously. The user device maintains one active connection while the network side entity enables concurrent resource utilization from multiple providers, making the single identity multi-functional across different networks.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically allocates resources from multiple network providers during a single communication session. The network side entity can dynamically switch or aggregate resources from different providers based on availability and quality, allowing concurrent utilization without requiring the user device to manually manage multiple static connections.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

3Productivity

If network service providers operate independently with separate resource management, then each provider maintains control over their own resources and security, but resource utilization efficiency decreases when resources are underutilized in one network and overutilized in another

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveresource utilization efficiencyVSAvoidcomplexity of dynamic resource allocation

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

A network side entity serves as an intermediary that coordinates resource allocation across multiple independent network service providers. This intermediary receives resource availability information from each provider and dynamically allocates resources to user sessions, improving overall utilization efficiency while maintaining each provider's independent control and security policies.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements dynamic resource allocation where the network side entity continuously monitors resource availability and quality from multiple providers and adjusts resource allocation in real-time. This dynamic approach allows underutilized resources from one provider to compensate for overutilized resources in another, improving overall productivity without requiring complex user-side configuration.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A technique for utilizing network resources includes allocating a first set of network resources associated with a first network provider that operates a first core network and utilizes a first radio carrier (802) and a second set of network resources associated with a second network provider that operates a second core network and utilizes a second radio carrier (808). The technique also includes combining the first set of network resources and the second set of network resources to generate a combined set of network resources (810), and using the combined set of network resources to transmit data between a user device and the first core network and between the user device and the second core network, concurrently in a same communication session (812).
