Mediator System for Expedited Wireless Session Setup
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Inefficient communication session setups between Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and Operators lead to latency issues, negatively affecting the Quality of Experience (QoE) for users, particularly in wireless service setups involving different communication protocols like LTE and DOCSIS.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a mediator system that intercepts setup information for wireless sessions, initiating communication sessions between Modem Termination Systems (MTS) and modems in parallel with wireless session setups, using optical networks and protocols like EPON or GPON to reduce latency and ensure Quality of Service (QoS) matching, thereby expediting the setup of wireless services.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If communication session setup is performed sequentially between MTS and modem after wireless session setup, then protocol compatibility is ensured, but setup time and latency increase
Solution Approach 1:
The mediator intercepts wireless session setup information from the mobile core and initiates the communication session setup between MTS and modem in advance, before the wireless session is fully established. This preliminary action allows the communication session to be ready when the wireless session completes, eliminating sequential waiting time and reducing overall setup latency.
Solution Approach 2:
A mediator component is introduced between the mobile core and the MTS-modem interface. The mediator intercepts setup information, coordinates the timing of session establishment, and ensures protocol compatibility across different network layers. This intermediary manages the complexity of coordinating multiple session setups while enabling parallel execution.
2Speed
If parallel session setup is implemented, then latency is reduced, but coordination complexity between different protocols increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mediator serves as a coordination layer that receives wireless session setup information from the mobile core and simultaneously triggers communication session setup between MTS and modem. It manages the parallel execution of different protocol stacks (LTE/5G and DOCSIS) by translating and synchronizing setup signals, enabling fast parallel establishment while containing coordination complexity within the mediator.
Solution Approach 2:
The mediator transforms wireless session parameters into communication session parameters appropriate for the MTS-modem interface. By changing and adapting protocol parameters during the parallel setup process, it enables simultaneous session establishment across different protocol domains while maintaining compatibility and reducing latency.

AI summary
Systems and methods presented herein provide for expediting a setup of a wireless session. In one embodiment, a method comprises intercepting setup information for a wireless session from a mobile core (e.g., operated by an MNO) servicing the UE, initiating a communication session between a Modem Termination System (MTS) and a modem based on the intercepted setup information to support a forthcoming wireless session, and providing the wireless session through the communication session setup.
