Solution Overview
Problem
In multi-mode mobile network environments, establishing connections that leverage the differential performance of various frequency point systems to provide optimized and differentiated network services is challenging.
Innovation Solution
A method where a first-mode network device, acting as a control point, selects and establishes a combination of connection policies for both a first-mode and a second-mode network based on user priority and operator type, enabling hierarchical multiple connections to enhance coverage and capacity performance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If multiple connections are established across different mobile network modes (4G, 5G) with various frequency point systems, then the transmission rate and service experience are improved, but the complexity of connection management and network configuration increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the connection management by introducing a master network device that coordinates multiple slave network devices across different network modes (4G, 5G). Each network device handles specific frequency point systems independently, dividing the complex multi-mode connection management into manageable segments under centralized coordination.
Solution Approach 2:
The master network device acts as an intermediary that receives connection requests from terminals, selects appropriate slave network devices based on user priorities and operator types, and coordinates the establishment of multiple connections. This intermediary simplifies the overall system by centralizing the decision-making logic for multi-mode connection management.
2Reliability
If differentiated shared network services are provided based on user priority and operator type, then the service quality and user experience are improved, but the complexity of policy selection and configuration increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing differentiated connection policies tailored to specific user groups (contractor operators vs. shared operators) and user priorities. Each user category receives customized connection configurations that match their service requirements, with contractor operators getting full control plane and user plane connections, while shared operators receive simplified configurations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically selects connection policies based on real-time factors including user priority levels, operator types, and available network resources. The master network device adapts the connection configuration for each terminal based on these varying conditions, enabling flexible service differentiation without requiring static pre-configured policies for all scenarios.
3Reliability
If hierarchical multiple connections are established with master and slave network devices, then the coverage and capacity performance are improved, but the complexity of network device coordination increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple network devices operating in different network modes (4G, 5G) and frequency point systems into a coordinated hierarchical structure. The master network device combines the resources and capabilities of multiple slave network devices to provide unified connection management, aggregating coverage and capacity while maintaining simplified coordination through centralized control.
