Media Profiles for Modem Transceiver Configuration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current AT commands for controlling modem devices are cumbersome, especially for configuring media settings for IMS services, as they do not allow for easy reuse of media configurations, partial modification, or specification of media configurations for multiple technologies, leading to inefficient media management during service continuity and mobility scenarios.
Innovation Solution
The introduction of media profiles that store configuration information for multiple technologies, allowing for reuse across call sessions, partial modification, and automatic conversion between technologies, along with new commands for creating, modifying, and deleting these profiles, enables efficient media configuration and management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional AT commands are used for controlling modem devices, then the modem can be controlled, but the configuration process becomes cumbersome and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the media configuration into separate, reusable profile components (audio profile, video profile, data profile) that can be independently defined, stored, and applied. This allows the configuration to be divided into manageable units that can be reused across multiple technologies and sessions, eliminating the need to reconfigure each parameter manually through lengthy AT commands.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-defining media profiles with complete configuration sets before actual communication sessions. These profiles are stored in the modem and can be quickly activated when needed, rather than configuring parameters in real-time during each session. This preparatory configuration significantly reduces setup time during mobility scenarios.
2Adaptability or versatility
If traditional AT commands are used for each communication technology, then each technology can be configured, but the device complexity increases due to multiple separate configurations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates universal media profiles that can be applied across multiple communication technologies (GSM, UMTS, LTE, etc.). A single profile definition can be reused for different technologies through automatic conversion and adaptation, eliminating the need for separate configuration sets for each technology. This multi-functional approach simplifies management while maintaining broad adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements copying by creating template profiles that can be replicated and applied to different communication scenarios and technologies. Once a media profile is defined for one technology, it can be copied and automatically adapted for use with other technologies, reducing the complexity of managing multiple separate configurations while maintaining technology-specific requirements.
3Reliability
If complete configuration data is sent for each media setup, then the configuration is complete, but the data transmission volume increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the essential configuration parameters into predefined profiles stored in the modem's memory. Instead of transmitting complete configuration data sets for each media setup, only the necessary profile identifier or minimal modification parameters need to be communicated. This extraction of core configuration elements significantly reduces data transmission volume while maintaining configuration completeness and reliability.
