Interoperability Node for Cross-Protocol Wireless Registration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless networks face limitations in allowing devices to access multiple protocols simultaneously, leading to the need for multiple translators and increased equipment costs when connecting different network types, such as GSM and ANSI networks, which results in inefficiencies and higher subscriber information entry requirements.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of an interoperability node that consolidates registration processes across various networks, allowing devices to communicate and register regardless of protocol, by providing protocol-specific information and acting as a translator between different network types, thereby reducing the need for multiple translators and enhancing network connectivity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple translators are installed to connect different network types, then network connectivity between different protocols is improved, but equipment costs and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple translator functions into a single multi-functional translator that can translate between multiple network protocols simultaneously. This consolidation reduces the number of separate translator devices needed while maintaining the ability to connect different network types, thereby reducing equipment costs and system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The translator is designed with multi-functionality to handle translation between multiple network protocols (GSM, ANSI, data networks) within a single device. This universal translator can adapt to different protocol requirements without requiring separate specialized translators for each protocol pair.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple translators are installed to connect different network types, then network connectivity between different protocols is improved, but equipment costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent consolidates multiple translator functions into a single device, reducing the total number of translator units required in the network infrastructure. This merging approach directly reduces equipment procurement and deployment costs while maintaining comprehensive protocol translation capabilities.
3Measurement precision
If subscriber information is entered multiple times across different translators, then network registration accuracy is improved, but time consumption and operational complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The multi-functional translator stores subscriber information in a centralized database during the initial registration process. This preliminary storage of information allows the translator to automatically retrieve and use the same information for subsequent translations between different protocols, eliminating the need to re-enter subscriber details multiple times.
Solution Approach 2:
The centralized information storage capability of the multi-functional translator allows it to serve multiple protocol translations simultaneously using the same subscriber data, improving operational efficiency without compromising registration accuracy.
