Intermediary Network System for Wireless Message Exchange
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems fail to reliably exchange messages across disparate wireless networks due to protocol differences, transmission network incompatibilities, inter-domain addressing challenges, dynamic routing needs, message transformations, and quality of service variations, particularly in complex network environments with roaming subscribers and number portability issues.
Innovation Solution
An intermediary network system with input, transformation, and routing units that dynamically route and transform messages based on real-time subscription information, traffic conditions, and business rules, using multiple gateways and external services for protocol conversion and authentication, to ensure message delivery across various wireless standards and networks.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If an intermediary network system is introduced to enable message exchange between disparate wireless networks, then message delivery reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary network system that acts as a mediator between disparate wireless networks. This intermediary receives messages from one network, transforms them according to protocol differences, and forwards them to the destination network. The intermediary handles protocol conversion, routing decisions, and message formatting, thereby enabling reliable communication between networks that would otherwise be incompatible without requiring direct complexity management between the networks themselves.
2Productivity
If dynamic routing based on real-time subscription information and traffic conditions is implemented, then message exchange efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic routing capabilities within the intermediary network system. The system continuously monitors traffic conditions, subscription information, and network status to make real-time routing decisions. Rather than using static routing tables, the intermediary dynamically adjusts message paths based on current network conditions, optimizing delivery efficiency while managing complexity through automated decision-making algorithms.
Solution Approach 2:
The intermediary network system incorporates feedback mechanisms that monitor message delivery status, network congestion levels, and subscription changes. This feedback information is used to adjust routing decisions in real-time, ensuring optimal message exchange efficiency. The system learns from previous routing outcomes and adapts its behavior to improve future message delivery performance.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple protocol transformations are performed to accommodate different wireless standards, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The intermediary network system is designed with universal capabilities to handle multiple wireless network standards and protocols. It incorporates transformation modules that can convert between different message formats and protocols, making the system adaptable to various network types (GSM, CDMA, TDMA, etc.). Rather than requiring each network to understand every other network's protocol, the intermediary provides a universal translation layer that simplifies interoperability.

AI summary
Network System and Method for facilitating message exchange between mobile subscribers belonging to the same or different public land mobile networks, possibly incorporating different standards. Message exchange between two subscribers of the same or different networks may involve one or more lookups on subscription data, zero or more message transformations, one or more routing decisions including application of costing functions, and, storage and propagation of the message in one or more Core or Intermediary networks. The messages may be of type, among others, SMS (Short Message Service), MMS (Multimedia Message Service), or EMAIL.
