Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless networks face challenges in managing network resources effectively, particularly in scenarios where local routers and mobile devices experience connection issues due to fluctuations in communication technologies like Wi-Fi and 5G.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that utilize a connection optimization engine to monitor connection parameters of local routers and mobile devices. When certain thresholds are met, the engine triggers switches between communication technologies, such as switching from 5G standalone to 5G non-standalone or directly to 4G LTE, to maintain consistent connectivity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If the local router communicates with the network using 5G standalone, then communication speed is improved, but connection stability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication speedVSAvoidconnection stability
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically switches between 5G standalone and 5G non-standalone communication modes based on real-time connection parameter monitoring. When connection stability deteriorates below a threshold, the system transitions from 5G standalone to 5G non-standalone mode, enabling adaptive adjustment of communication characteristics to maintain optimal performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the communication mode parameter (from 5G standalone to 5G non-standalone) in response to detected connection parameter thresholds. This parameter change allows the system to transition between different communication technologies to resolve connection stability issues while maintaining communication functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If the mobile device connects directly to the network using 5G standalone, then network resource utilization is improved, but connection reliability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork resource utilizationVSAvoidconnection reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables dynamic switching between direct 5G standalone connection and indirect connection via local router. Based on monitored connection parameters, the mobile device can transition between these connection modes, optimizing network resource utilization while maintaining connection reliability through adaptive reconnection strategies.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The local router serves as an intermediary between the mobile device and the network. When direct 5G standalone connection reliability deteriorates, the system routes communications through the local router using 5G non-standalone mode, providing an alternative communication path that maintains connectivity while improving connection reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Systems and methods are provided for monitoring one or more connection parameters for a local router. The local router is connected to a cellular network and a mobile phone. If one or more connection parameters satisfy the connection threshold, the local router or the mobile device switch from communicating with the network using a first communication technology to communicate with the network using a second communication technology.
