Adaptive Mobile Network Band Control for Low-Traffic Operation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile networks operate at full power across all frequency bands during peak and non-peak times, leading to unnecessary radio frequency interference and resource waste.
Innovation Solution
An adaptive network operation server analyzes traffic data to determine which frequency bands and channels can be deactivated or reduced in power during low-traffic times, minimizing interference while maintaining network coverage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If nodes operate radios over all frequency bands at full power, then network coverage and service quality are maintained, but radio frequency interference increases and resources are wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic radio frequency management where nodes continuously monitor traffic levels and adjust their operating frequency bands and power levels in real-time. During low-traffic periods, nodes deactivate unnecessary frequency bands and reduce power on active bands, while maintaining full operation during peak traffic periods, thus adapting to changing network conditions
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes operational parameters (frequency band activation status and power levels) based on traffic conditions. The network management entity receives traffic information, determines appropriate configuration parameters, and sends reconfiguration messages to nodes to adjust their radio operations, transforming static full-power operation into dynamic parameter-adjusted operation
2Reliability
If nodes operate radios over all frequency bands at full power, then network coverage is maintained, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic power management where nodes adjust their power consumption levels based on real-time traffic conditions. The network management entity monitors traffic levels and sends reconfiguration messages to nodes, enabling them to reduce power consumption during low-traffic periods while maintaining adequate coverage, and restore full power during peak traffic periods
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically changes power level parameters based on traffic information. The network management entity determines appropriate power configuration parameters and transmits reconfiguration messages to nodes, allowing power levels to be adjusted from static full-power operation to dynamic levels matched to actual network demand
3Reliability
If nodes operate radios over all frequency bands at full power, then service quality is maintained, but resource efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic resource allocation where nodes adjust their frequency band utilization based on real-time traffic conditions. The network management entity receives traffic information, determines optimal resource configuration, and sends reconfiguration messages to nodes, enabling dynamic adaptation of resource usage to actual network demand and improving overall resource efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically changes operational parameters (frequency band activation and power levels) based on traffic conditions. The network management entity determines appropriate configuration parameters and transmits reconfiguration messages to nodes, transforming static resource allocation into dynamic parameter-adjusted allocation that matches actual network needs
Data Source
AI summary
An adaptive network operation (ANO) server configured to reduce unnecessary radio operation during lower and/or non-traffic times is described herein. The ANO server may receive raw data associated with one or more nodes within a telecommunications network. Responsive to receiving the raw data, the ANO server may determine, based at least in part on the raw data, a traffic level associated with the one or more nodes and/or a traffic capacity associated with the one or more nodes. The ANO server may determine one or more frequency bands and/or channels to activate and/or deactivate and may generate configuration settings to send to the one or more nodes.
