Dynamic Service Prioritization for Multi-SIM Single RF Resource Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current service prioritization methods in multi-SIM devices with a single RF resource are inefficient, leading to resource wastage and performance degradation due to fixed prioritization procedures, which fail to adapt to changing user needs and network conditions.
Innovation Solution
A method for dynamic service prioritization that groups services by type and priority, assigns category IDs, and communicates these to the network, allowing for real-time adjustments and optimal resource allocation based on priority levels, thereby avoiding resource wastage and performance issues.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If fixed prioritization procedures are used for service management in multi-SIM devices, then device complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but resource utilization efficiency deteriorates and adaptability to changing conditions worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic service prioritization by introducing a service priority indicator that can be adjusted in real-time based on network conditions and user needs. The network entity receives information about ongoing services and dynamically assigns priority levels, allowing the system to adapt to changing conditions rather than using fixed prioritization rules.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of service priority from a fixed value to a dynamically adjustable parameter. By introducing service priority indicators and allowing the network entity to modify these priorities based on current network state and service types, the system transforms static prioritization into a flexible, parameter-driven approach that resolves the contradiction between operational simplicity and adaptability.
2Productivity
If dynamic service prioritization with real-time adjustments is implemented, then resource utilization efficiency and adaptability are improved, but device complexity and information processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary service priority indicator that acts as a mediator between the multi-SIM device and the network entity. This indicator simplifies the information exchange by consolidating service status and priority requirements into a single standardized message format, reducing the complexity burden on the device while enabling dynamic prioritization.
Solution Approach 2:
The service priority indicator serves multiple functions simultaneously: it informs the network about ongoing services, requests priority adjustments, and provides a standardized interface for different service types. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate mechanisms for each service management task, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity.
3Reliability
If service priority information is exchanged between SIMs and network entities, then service differentiation and quality of service are improved, but information processing overhead and network signaling increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges service priority information with existing service status messages by integrating the service priority indicator into the uplink information that the device already sends to the network. This consolidation approach allows service differentiation without requiring separate dedicated signaling channels, thereby minimizing additional information processing overhead.
4Device complexity
If multiple SIMs share a single RF resource with fixed prioritization, then device complexity is reduced, but resource wastage occurs and performance degradation happens due to inability to adapt to changing conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamic prioritization to RF resource allocation by allowing the service priority indicator to change based on current service requirements and network conditions. This enables the single RF resource to be dynamically allocated to the most critical service at any given time, preventing resource wastage while maintaining manageable device complexity through standardized signaling.
