Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current cellular networks, particularly LTE, face challenges in dynamically switching between legacy networks and 5G NR networks to optimize data usage and quality based on user plans and network availability, leading to suboptimal user experiences due to limitations in network selection and data rate utilization.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a High Data Mode feature that categorizes 5G NR interfaces as 'not expensive' to enable full capabilities, allowing dynamic switching between networks based on carrier plan information, network availability, and user data usage, using a carrier information protocol to manage data plans and throttle data consumption.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the system dynamically switches between legacy networks and 5G NR networks to optimize data usage, then network utilization efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases due to multiple network interface management
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically switches between legacy networks and 5G NR networks based on real-time conditions such as network availability, user plans, and data usage patterns. The categorization of 5G NR interfaces as 'not expensive' enables flexible, adaptive network selection that optimizes productivity while managing complexity through condition-based decision logic.
2Speed
If 5G NR interfaces are categorized as 'not expensive' to enable full capabilities, then data rate is improved, but user cost increases due to higher data consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the cost parameter categorization of 5G NR interfaces from 'expensive' to 'not expensive' to enable full data rate capabilities. This parameter change allows the system to utilize 5G NR networks freely without cost restrictions, maximizing speed while the carrier information protocol monitors and manages data consumption to control user costs.
3Ease of operation
If the system monitors carrier plan information and network availability for dynamic switching, then user experience is improved, but information processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically monitors carrier plan information, network availability, and data usage patterns without requiring user intervention. The categorization mechanism and dynamic switching operate autonomously, improving user experience while managing information processing complexity through automated decision-making algorithms that evaluate multiple parameters simultaneously.
4Productivity
If the system uses carrier information protocol to manage data plans, then data plan management efficiency is improved, but communication overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The carrier information protocol acts as an intermediary mechanism that efficiently manages data plan information between the system and carrier networks. This protocol enables automated data plan management by transmitting necessary information (network availability, plan details, usage data) in a standardized format, improving management efficiency while minimizing communication overhead through targeted information exchange.

AI summary
Apparatuses, systems, and methods for high data mode operation in cellular networks. A UE may determine, for an interface to a high-speed cellular network, a categorization from a plurality of categorizations, determine availability of the high-speed cellular network, and select, based at least in part on the categorization and availability of the high-speed cellular network, the interface for a data connection to the high-speed cellular network. The categorization may be one of expensive or not expensive and/or one of a first level associated with a higher compression codec rate or a second level associated with a lower compression codec rate. The UE may receive, from one of the a low-speed cellular network or the high-speed cellular network, carrier plan information for a cellular data service carrier and analyze the carrier plan information to determine desirability of a switch, e.g., from the low-speed cellular network to the high-speed cellular network.
