Dynamic Throughput Threshold Adjustment for 5G Network Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
5G wireless networks face high churn rates due to dissatisfaction with throughput, as network devices often operate with max-min thresholds that do not align with the requested quality of service from mobile devices, leading to lower than expected throughput and service issues.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that dynamically adjusts the throughput threshold of network devices based on the requested quality of service from mobile devices, using a software-defined network controller to identify and adjust the throughput range of impacted network nodes to ensure high-quality service.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If network devices operate with max-min thresholds, then device complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but throughput and quality of service deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic threshold adjustment where the network controller continuously monitors requested quality of service parameters and adapts throughput thresholds in real-time. This transforms static max-min thresholds into dynamic values that respond to changing service requirements, resolving the contradiction between operational simplicity and throughput performance
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter values of throughput thresholds based on monitored quality of service requests. By adjusting threshold parameters dynamically rather than using fixed values, the system maintains ease of operation while improving throughput to meet actual service demands
2Device complexity
If network devices use fixed throughput thresholds, then device complexity is reduced, but reliability of quality of service delivery deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The network controller implements a feedback mechanism that monitors requested quality of service parameters and uses this information to adjust throughput thresholds. This closed-loop feedback system ensures reliable quality of service delivery without significantly increasing device complexity, as the adjustment logic is centralized in the controller
Solution Approach 2:
The network controller acts as an intermediary between mobile devices and network devices, translating quality of service requests into appropriate throughput threshold adjustments. This mediator approach maintains simple network devices while ensuring reliable service delivery through intelligent intermediate control
3Stability of the object's composition
If throughput thresholds are not adjusted according to requested quality of service, then network stability is maintained, but churn rate increases due to service dissatisfaction
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces controlled dynamics to the throughput thresholds, allowing them to adapt to quality of service requirements while maintaining overall network stability. The gradual and monitored adjustment process ensures stability is preserved while service quality improves, reducing churn rate
