Network Location Services via Telemetry Translation

Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for telecommunications service providers to process and store location data from user equipment (UE) are inefficient, as they translate every geolocation into a universal coordinate system, resulting in high processing power and cost, with most translated data never being requested or used.

Innovation Solution

A system that stores and processes location data in its native network telemetry form, translating only the data that matches specific queries, reducing unnecessary translations and improving processing efficiency by selectively converting data to universal coordinates only when needed.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If every geolocation is translated into a universal coordinate system, then location data can be universally queried and used, but processing power and cost increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvelocation data query capabilityVSAvoidprocessing power

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs translation only when needed (at query time) rather than in advance for all data. The native network telemetry data is stored without pre-translation, and translation to universal coordinates is performed selectively only when a query requires it, eliminating unnecessary processing while maintaining query capability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the data representation parameter from always-being-in-universal-coordinates to being-in-native-format-with-on-demand-translation. This allows the same data to serve different purposes: stored efficiently in native format and translated to universal format only when queried, thus reducing overall processing requirements.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If every geolocation is translated into a universal coordinate system, then location data can be universally queried and used, but cost increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvelocation data query capabilityVSAvoidprocessing cost

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of translating all location data (excessive action), the system translates only the portion of data that is actually needed for specific queries (partial action). This reduces processing cost while maintaining the necessary query functionality for universal coordinate access.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Productivity

If location data is stored in native network telemetry form, then processing efficiency improves, but data must be translated for universal queries

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveprocessing efficiencyVSAvoiddata translation requirement

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system stores data in native format without pre-translation, improving storage and initial processing efficiency. Translation is performed as a preliminary step only when a universal query is received, enabling efficient storage while maintaining query capability through on-demand translation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Systems and methods discussed herein are directed towards more efficient processing of user equipment (UE) data received in a native network telemetry data form. This data is stored and is selectively translated upon request to a different form such as longitude and latitude. The selective translation may be based on a request for a particular range of data that may fall into a geofence, which may be dynamically adjusted over time.
