Network Device Core Resource Distribution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for distributing core resources across multiple network cores in wireless radio access technology networks are often unsuccessful or lead to undesirable consequences, such as uneven resource utilization and difficulty in transitioning user devices between 4G and 5G networks.
Innovation Solution
A network device that receives a connection request from a user device, determines compatibility with a target core network, and generates an instruction for the user device to register with the target network, including a rejection message with a cause to register on the target network, while updating the network priority value to maintain a connection between the user device and the target core network.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If current methods are used for core resource distribution, then user devices can be transitioned between network cores, but resource utilization becomes uneven and transitions fail frequently
Solution Approach 1:
The network device performs compatibility determination between the user device and target core network before completing the connection request. By checking compatibility in advance and providing redirection instructions proactively, the system prevents failed transitions and ensures successful resource distribution from the outset.
2Productivity
If user devices are redirected to target core networks, then load balancing is improved, but connection stability may be compromised without proper compatibility verification
Solution Approach 1:
The system determines compatibility between the user device and target core network before redirection occurs. This preliminary verification ensures that only compatible devices are redirected, maintaining connection stability while achieving load balancing across network cores.
Solution Approach 2:
The network device provides feedback to the user device through redirection instructions, including cause values that indicate why the redirect is necessary and how to successfully connect to the target core network. This feedback mechanism ensures stable reconnection by guiding the device through the transition process.
3Reliability
If compatibility checking is performed before connection, then transition success rate improves, but network device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The user device performs self-configuration based on redirection instructions received from the network device. The device autonomously determines which target core network to connect to and configures its own connection parameters, reducing the processing burden on the network device while ensuring successful transitions.
