Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional 5G networks face inefficiencies in handling high transaction rates and time-sensitive packet switching due to the use of a single TCP connection for HTTP2, leading to blocking and reduced speed in managing location requests.

Innovation Solution

Integration of a Hypertext Transfer Protocol Version 2 (HTTP2) stack within a Location Management Function (LMF) to manage incoming requests efficiently, consolidate data chunks, retry pending requests, and coordinate resource scheduling for accurate location determination.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a single TCP connection is used for HTTP2 in conventional 5G networks, then resource management is simplified, but blocking occurs and processing speed decreases when handling high transaction rates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveresource management complexityVSAvoidrequest processing speed

Core Design Contradiction:

Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the single TCP connection into multiple independent TCP connections, allowing parallel processing of multiple data streams. This segmentation enables the system to handle high transaction rates without blocking while maintaining manageable resource allocation through connection pooling and multiplexing mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Use of energy by moving object

If multiple data streams are sent over a single TCP connection, then resource utilization is optimized, but blocking occurs between resources and efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenetwork resource utilizationVSAvoidrequest handling efficiency

Core Design Contradiction:

Use of energy by moving objectVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from a single-dimension resource allocation model to a multi-dimensional model by establishing multiple TCP connections across different network paths and resource pools. This dimensional expansion allows simultaneous data streams to utilize diverse network resources, eliminating blocking while optimizing overall resource utilization through intelligent load distribution.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Device complexity

If conventional HTTP2 protocol is used with single TCP connection, then protocol simplicity is maintained, but speed and efficiency requirements for 5G applications are not met

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveprotocol structure simplicityVSAvoiddata transmission speed

Core Design Contradiction:

Device complexityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent establishes multiple TCP connections in advance before handling location requests, pre-configuring load balancers and routing tables. This preliminary action ensures that when high-volume 5G traffic arrives, the system can immediately utilize the pre-established connection pool without connection establishment overhead, achieving both speed requirements and controlled complexity through automated connection management.
