Dynamic Service Plan Adjustment for Wireless Network QoS
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless telecommunication networks struggle to dynamically adjust service plans for mobile devices based on their location, leading to inconsistent quality of service (QoS) as users move between different coverage areas.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that dynamically adjust a primary service plan for a mobile device by monitoring its location and comparing the QoS with nearby devices. If the QoS is lower than that of proximate devices, the system determines if a different service plan available at the device's location would provide better QoS, and if so, requests a change to that plan.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a fixed service plan is provided to a mobile device, then the service plan structure is simple and easy to manage, but the quality of service becomes inconsistent as the device moves between different coverage areas
Solution Approach 1:
The service plan is transformed from a static, fixed configuration to a dynamic one that automatically adjusts based on the mobile device's location. The system continuously monitors the device's position and switches between different service plans (first service plan and second service plan) depending on which geographic area the device is in, ensuring consistent quality of service while the device moves between coverage areas.
Solution Approach 2:
The service plan parameters (such as data allowances, pricing structures, and service features) are changed based on the device's geographic location. The system determines the device's location and selects appropriate service plan parameters from available options, allowing the service plan to adapt to different coverage areas and maintain reliable service quality.
2Reliability
If the service plan is dynamically adjusted based on location, then the quality of service is improved, but the system complexity increases due to location monitoring and plan switching mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The service plan adjustment system operates autonomously by automatically determining the mobile device's location, comparing it against stored geographic area information, and switching between service plans without requiring user intervention. The system self-manages the complexity of location monitoring and plan selection, providing improved quality of service while keeping the user experience simple.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback loop where the mobile device's location is continuously monitored and fed back to the service plan management system. Based on this location feedback, the system automatically determines which service plan is appropriate and switches plans accordingly, creating a closed-loop control system that maintains optimal service quality.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple service plans are made available for different locations, then the adaptability to different coverage areas is improved, but the difficulty of managing and selecting the appropriate plan increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-configures multiple service plans (first service plan and second service plan) associated with different geographic areas before the mobile device needs them. The geographic area information and corresponding service plan mappings are stored in advance, allowing the system to quickly and automatically select the appropriate plan based on the device's current location without requiring complex real-time decision-making.

AI summary
The system obtains an event report identifying a UE, and a location of the UE. The system obtains a primary service plan provided to the UE, and a second service plan, where the second service plan is available to the UE at the location of the UE. The system obtains a first measurement of a parameter indicating a first QoS provided to the UE, and a second measurement of the parameter indicating a second QoS provided to multiple UEs, where the multiple UEs are proximate to the UE. The system compares the first and the second measurement to determine whether the first QoS is lower than the second QoS. Upon determining that the first QoS is lower, the system confirms that the second service plan is likely to improve the QoS. Upon confirming, the system sends a request to change the primary service plan to the second service plan.
