Network Connection Prioritization via Device Profile Correlation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In Information Handling Systems (IHS) networks, managing network connections and priorities effectively becomes challenging due to congestion and inefficiencies caused by multiple devices competing for finite resources, especially in IoT environments where devices are mobile and have varying connection requirements.
Innovation Solution
The system receives instrumentation and observation data from devices, correlates this information to optimize communications by prioritizing connections based on device profiles, including mobility, location, and communication needs, and dynamically adjusts settings such as frequency channels and transmit power to manage network traffic efficiently.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple devices concurrently request channels from the same access point, then network connectivity is maintained for all devices, but network communications become slow, congested, and unreliable
Solution Approach 1:
The patent assigns different connection priorities to different devices based on their specific needs and characteristics. High-priority devices receive preferential treatment in channel allocation and resource distribution, ensuring reliable communications for critical devices while maintaining connectivity for all devices in the network.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts connection priorities and resource allocation based on real-time network conditions, device mobility, and communication requirements. This allows the network to adapt to changing conditions and maintain reliability even when multiple devices are concurrently connected.
2Reliability
If connection priority is increased for mobile devices, then communication reliability improves, but network resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies connection priority adjustments selectively rather than uniformly across all devices. Priority boosting is applied only to mobile devices that require it, while static devices maintain normal priority levels, thus achieving improved reliability for mobile devices without excessive network resource consumption across the entire network.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the connection priority parameter dynamically based on device mobility status and communication requirements. This allows the network to optimize resource distribution by adjusting priorities only when and where needed, balancing reliability improvement with resource conservation.
3Measurement precision
If instrumentation data is collected from all devices, then network optimization accuracy improves, but data processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and processes only the most relevant instrumentation data elements needed for connection priority determination, such as device mobility status, location information, and communication requirements. By focusing on key data points rather than processing all available data, the system achieves accurate optimization while managing processing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The data processing is segmented into distinct stages: data collection from devices, correlation of instrumentation and observation data, determination of connection priorities, and configuration of communications. This segmentation allows the system to handle complex data processing in manageable steps, improving both accuracy and efficiency.

AI summary
Systems and methods for managing network connections and priorities based on device profiles are described. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: receive instrumentation data from a plurality of devices coupled to the IHS via a network; receive observation data from the plurality of devices; correlate the observation data with the instrumentation data; and configure communications between the IHS and one or more the plurality of devices based, at least in part, upon the correlation.
