Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current software-defined network architectures face limitations in dynamic radio resource allocation and guaranteed data flow routing, leading to inflexibility and a lack of responsiveness in scaling and adapting to real-time application needs, which affects end-to-end quality of service and resource allocation integrity.
Innovation Solution
A method for dynamic radio resource allocation in a shared-resource telecommunications network, involving a device that receives requests for radio resource commitment, selects suitable radio equipment and resources, generates a flow routing programming indicator, and transmits it to ensure proper routing, while also implementing encryption for security and using specific programming elements to coordinate radio equipment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If static spectrum allocation is used in radio sub-networks, then network configuration is simple and stable, but the system lacks flexibility and cannot adapt dynamically to real-time application needs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic spectrum allocation where radio resources are not statically assigned but dynamically allocated based on real-time application needs. The system continuously monitors propagation conditions and adjusts radio resource allocation accordingly, transforming the static network configuration into a dynamic one that can adapt to changing requirements while managing complexity through automated control mechanisms
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes key operating parameters such as spectrum allocation, routing paths, and resource assignment dynamically rather than maintaining fixed values. By adjusting these parameters in response to real-time conditions, the network achieves adaptability without requiring complete system redesign, managing complexity through parameter optimization rather than structural complexity
2Productivity
If cognitive radio technologies are implemented for dynamic frequency selection, then spectrum utilization efficiency improves, but the complexity of detecting and managing radio environment increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism that mediates between the complex radio environment detection requirements and the resource allocation decisions. This intermediary layer processes environmental information and translates it into actionable resource allocation commands, improving spectrum utilization while managing detection complexity through abstraction and intermediate processing steps
3Adaptability or versatility
If dedicated control plane resources are dimensioned for each radio device, then routing reliability is ensured, but network scalability is prevented and real-time responsiveness to application needs is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal control mechanism that serves multiple radio devices and applications simultaneously rather than dedicating separate control plane resources to each device. This multi-functional control system maintains routing reliability through centralized coordination while enabling real-time adaptation to diverse application needs, achieving both reliability and adaptability through resource sharing and unified management
4Reliability
If radio resources are dynamically allocated based on propagation conditions, then end-to-end quality of service is improved, but the complexity of resource management and coordination increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms that continuously monitor propagation conditions, resource utilization, and quality of service metrics. This feedback information is used to dynamically adjust resource allocation decisions, ensuring end-to-end quality of service while managing complexity through automated closed-loop control that reduces the need for manual coordination and simplifies resource management through intelligent adaptation
