Dynamic Session Trace Management for Wireless Networks
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems fail to provide dynamic session trace management for user equipment (UE) as default processors at one node do not communicate effectively with those at other nodes, leading to gaps in communication data when UE moves between coverage areas, hindering law enforcement or service provider efforts to locate users.
Innovation Solution
Implement a method and system for dynamic session trace management that identifies primary trace processors for user equipment, allowing them to maintain and transmit trace reports across nodes, ensuring continuous data availability and location tracking.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If default processors at one node are used to manage trace reports, then local trace management is simplified, but communication data is lost when UE moves between coverage areas
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides trace management into local default processors at each node and a centralized primary trace processor. Each node's default processor handles local trace collection independently, while the primary trace processor coordinates across nodes to prevent data loss during UE movement between coverage areas.
Solution Approach 2:
The primary trace processor acts as an intermediary between default processors at different nodes. It receives trace reports from multiple default processors and maintains continuous trace data for UE even when the UE moves between coverage areas served by different nodes.
2Adaptability or versatility
If trace reports are maintained at each node independently, then node autonomy is preserved, but continuous location tracking is hindered
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges trace report data from multiple autonomous nodes into a unified trace profile at the primary trace processor. This allows each node to maintain its autonomy while collectively providing continuous location tracking through the consolidated trace data at the primary processor.
Solution Approach 2:
The primary trace processor serves multiple functions: it acts as a central coordinator for trace management, aggregates data from multiple autonomous nodes, and provides continuous location tracking. This universal component enables both node autonomy and reliable tracking to coexist.
3Quantity of substance
If multiple nodes maintain separate trace reports, then data redundancy is increased, but data consistency across nodes deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The primary trace processor receives trace reports from multiple default processors and provides feedback by maintaining a master trace profile. This feedback mechanism ensures that trace data remains consistent across nodes while allowing redundant data collection at each node for comprehensive coverage.

AI summary
Methods, media, and systems are provided for dynamic session trace management for user equipment (UE). For example, a first node is identified for a first UE, the first node being associated with a default trace processor. In some embodiments, the first node is identified based on a setup communication with the first UE. A trace profile for the first UE may generated. The trace profile may indicate a primary trace processor for the first UE. Based on the default trace processor of the first node being different than the primary trace processor, the first node is instructed to utilize the primary trace processor for trace reports associated with the first UE. In some embodiments, the primary trace processor may identify a location for the first UE using the trace reports. The trace reports may be received from a plurality of nodes and maintained by the primary trace processor.
