Location Intelligence Management System Resource Allocation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless location systems face challenges in efficiently managing location generation resources based on priority, quality of service, and resource availability, particularly in providing high-accuracy location services for emergency situations and managing the increased complexity of modern wireless communications networks with diverse air interface protocols and devices.
Innovation Solution
The Location Intelligence Management System (LIMS) utilizes a decision support system to optimize the utilization of Position Determining Equipment (PDE) resources by analyzing historical and real-time data, prioritizing location requests, and employing advanced triggers and metadata analysis to determine the need for high-accuracy locations, thereby managing resource allocation effectively across multiple users and entities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If high-accuracy location services are provided for all users, then location accuracy is improved, but resource availability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different quality levels of location services to different users based on their priority classification. High-priority users (e.g., emergency services) receive high-accuracy location services with multiple measurement techniques, while low-priority users receive standard location services. This resolves the contradiction by ensuring high accuracy is available where needed without wasting resources on all users.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts location service quality and resource allocation based on real-time conditions, including user priority, current resource availability, and service demands. The decision support system continuously monitors and reconfigures resource distribution, allowing the system to adapt to changing conditions and maintain optimal performance across varying resource availability levels.
2Reliability
If resource allocation is optimized for priority-based services, then quality of service is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The decision support system acts as an intermediary layer between location requests and resource allocation. It receives location requests, evaluates user priority, checks resource availability, and makes intelligent allocation decisions. This intermediary layer simplifies the overall system architecture by centralizing the complex decision-making logic, making the system more manageable and maintainable while improving service quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary classification and evaluation of location requests before resource allocation. Users are pre-classified into priority categories, and the decision support system pre-assesses resource availability and requirements. This preliminary action allows for faster, more reliable resource allocation decisions without requiring complex real-time analysis for each individual request.
3Productivity
If location resources are allocated based on real-time analysis, then productivity is improved, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary classification of users into priority categories and pre-establishes resource allocation rules for different priority levels. This preliminary action eliminates the need for complex real-time analysis for each location request, as the decision support system can quickly match requests against pre-defined criteria and rules, significantly reducing analysis time while maintaining high allocation efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The decision support system uses historical location request patterns and resource allocation data to create models and templates for common scenarios. These copied patterns allow the system to quickly handle routine requests by referencing established patterns rather than performing full real-time analysis, thereby improving productivity while minimizing time loss.
