Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing telecommunications networks face challenges in accommodating increased demand and congestion due to differences in capacity, cell site location, and spectral efficiency, requiring unique solutions tailored to specific networks rather than common builds.
Innovation Solution
A model and process that evaluates traffic congestion and throughput to determine tailored network builds by deploying available spectrum, adding small cells, and splitting sectors, prioritizing sectors based on ranking and user throughput targets, while considering future growth and performance parameters.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If common network builds are applied to multiple networks, then device complexity and implementation time are reduced, but network performance requirements cannot be met due to differences in capacity, cell site location, and spectral efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the network build determination into distinct components: spectrum deployment, small cell addition, and sector splitting. Each component is evaluated separately based on network-specific parameters such as capacity, cell site location, and spectral efficiency, allowing customized builds for each network while maintaining manageable complexity through structured analysis
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by determining network builds based on specific local characteristics of each network including capacity, cell site location, and spectral efficiency. Rather than applying a uniform build across all networks, the system tailors the build configuration to match the unique properties of each network, ensuring performance requirements are met for each specific case
2Productivity
If network capacity is increased through spectrum deployment, small cell additions, and sector splitting, then congestion is relieved and throughput is improved, but network complexity and deployment cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary evaluation of traffic congestion and throughput requirements before determining the network build. By assessing current network performance and predicting future demands in advance, the system can plan spectrum deployment, small cell additions, and sector splitting proactively, avoiding reactive complex changes and enabling more efficient capacity expansion
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs dynamic evaluation of network performance parameters including traffic congestion levels and user throughput. The network build determination is not static but adapts based on current and projected network conditions, allowing the system to optimize capacity expansion strategies based on actual performance data and changing demands

AI summary
The methods, systems, and computer readable media discussed herein are directed to determining a capacity of a network having solutions from available network options for meeting an expected demand increase for the network. Performance parameters, such as current traffic congestion level and current throughput level, may be evaluated based on the current network information of the network, and solutions, or builds, specific to the network may be obtained to maintain a given network quality level at the expected demand increase based on available network options specific to the network.
