Location-Based QoS Control for Mobile Terminals
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current QoS guarantee systems in wireless communication do not effectively reflect a user's intention to have quality of service (QoS) guaranteed only at specific locations, leading to unnecessary resource allocation and increased costs.
Innovation Solution
A mobile communication terminal device and QoS control device system that allows users to register desired QoS guarantee regions, with the device sending positional information to a control unit which compares it to stored region data, ensuring QoS is only provided when the device is within the registered area.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If QoS guarantee is provided based on wireless line utilization rate without location consideration, then QoS can be guaranteed independently of user location, but the system cannot reflect user's intention to have QoS guaranteed only at specific locations and causes unnecessary resource allocation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by making QoS guarantee location-specific. The QoS control device receives information about predetermined regions from the terminal device and only provides QoS guaranteed data when the terminal device is determined to be within those registered regions. This ensures that QoS resources are allocated locally where needed rather than uniformly across the entire network, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and resource waste.
2Ease of operation
If QoS guarantee is provided without location-based control, then the system is simpler to operate, but it cannot reflect user intentions and leads to increased costs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by requiring the terminal device to pre-register information about predetermined regions where QoS guarantee is desired before actual QoS service is provided. The QoS control device stores this region information and uses it for subsequent location-based QoS decisions. This preliminary registration step enables automated location-based QoS control without requiring complex real-time user input, maintaining ease of operation while enabling precise resource allocation.
3Productivity
If QoS is guaranteed only for registered users, then resource allocation is controlled, but it does not account for location-specific user needs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making QoS guarantee dynamic and location-dependent rather than static and user-only. The QoS control device continuously receives position information from the terminal device, compares it with registered predetermined regions, and dynamically adjusts QoS provision accordingly. This dynamic approach maintains resource allocation efficiency through automated control while adding location-based adaptability, allowing QoS to be activated or deactivated based on real-time location conditions.

AI summary
A mobile communication terminal device includes: an operation unit registering information related to a predetermined region in which a user desires QoS guarantee; a sending unit sending the information related to the predetermined region registered in the operation unit and information that can identify a current position of the mobile communication terminal device; a receiving unit receiving QoS guaranteed data when the current position is in the predetermined region; and a control unit controlling a behavior of sending the information in the sending unit and a behavior of guaranteeing the QoS in the receiving unit.
