Communication networks face challenges in managing transient scenarios and resource allocation across different network domains, with limited visibility and scalability, especially in multi-generational mobility architectures, requiring rapid remedies that standard bodies and vendors cannot provide.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for interdomain communications analytics automation that monitors and analyzes activities across multiple domains, including core, access, and transport domains, to identify actions and issue commands for efficient resource management and security, using network data analytics functions and interdomain communications analytics automation functions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If monitoring capabilities are separated across different network domains and mobility architecture generations, then each domain can be managed independently, but network visibility is limited and interdomain coordination becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges monitoring capabilities across multiple network domains (core, access, transport, security) and mobility architecture generations (3G, 4G, 5G) into a unified monitoring system. This allows the system to collect and analyze data from all domains simultaneously, achieving comprehensive network visibility while maintaining the independence of individual domain management through standardized data collection interfaces.
2Reliability
If standard bodies and equipment vendors follow long development cycles, then solutions are thoroughly tested and standardized, but transient scenarios require quick remedies that cannot wait
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a system that continuously monitors network activities and pre-identifies potential transient scenarios by analyzing patterns across multiple domains. When anomalies are detected, the system can immediately deploy pre-prepared remediation actions or generate rapid responses without waiting for standard development cycles, thus addressing time-critical issues while maintaining solution quality through automated analysis and validation.
3Speed
If monitoring functionality is driven to the edge closer to network elements, then local response time is reduced, but holistic network view may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a segmented monitoring architecture where monitoring functions are distributed across multiple levels: edge monitoring units collect local data and provide rapid local responses, while simultaneously feeding data to a central monitoring system that maintains a holistic network view. This segmentation allows both local speed and global visibility to coexist by dividing monitoring responsibilities between distributed and centralized components.
