Intelligent Network Selection for Private and CSP Radio Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing private radio-based networks are costly and time-consuming to deploy, often under or overprovisioned, and struggle with dynamic changes in network requirements, while existing CSP-operated networks are overprovisioned and inflexible, failing to meet organizations' varying and temporary connectivity needs.
Innovation Solution
Dynamic provisioning of provider-operated radio-based networks leveraging existing CSP infrastructure, allowing organizations to create ephemeral networks that scale up or down, integrate with private networks, and seamlessly transition between different radio access networks to meet quality-of-service requirements, using techniques like dual SIM or eSIM profiles and intelligent network selection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If private radio-based networks are deployed to meet specific quality-of-service requirements, then throughput and reliability are improved, but deployment cost and time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a network selection service as an intermediary between client devices and radio-based networks. This service dynamically selects between private and CSP-operated networks based on QoS requirements, eliminating the need for manual network deployment and configuration while ensuring optimal service quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically provisions and deprovisions network connections based on real-time QoS requirements. The network selection service continuously monitors network conditions and switches between private and public networks as needed, enabling flexible adaptation without lengthy deployment processes.
2Reliability
If private radio-based networks are deployed to meet specific quality-of-service requirements, then throughput and reliability are improved, but deployment cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The network selection service provides universal access to both private and CSP-operated networks through a single interface. This multi-functional approach allows organizations to leverage existing CSP infrastructure when private network capacity is insufficient, reducing the need for expensive dedicated private network deployment while maintaining QoS guarantees.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the operational parameters of network selection based on QoS requirements, traffic patterns, and network conditions. By dynamically adjusting selection criteria and provisioning parameters, the system optimizes the balance between private network investment and public network utilization, reducing overall deployment costs while maintaining service quality.
3Reliability
If CSP-operated networks are used to provide connectivity, then coverage and availability are improved, but flexibility and adaptability to varying needs deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The network selection service dynamically adapts to varying organizational needs by monitoring QoS requirements and network conditions in real-time. It can switch between private and CSP-operated networks based on current demands, providing flexibility while maintaining the reliability and coverage of CSP networks when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms that continuously monitor network performance, traffic patterns, and QoS metrics. This feedback drives intelligent decision-making for network selection, allowing the system to adapt to varying organizational needs while leveraging the reliable coverage of CSP networks, thereby resolving the contradiction between availability and flexibility.
4Loss of time
If existing CSP infrastructure is leveraged for dynamic provisioning, then deployment cost and time are reduced, but network complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The network selection service acts as an intermediary layer that simplifies the interaction between client devices and the complex underlying network infrastructure. It handles the complexity of selecting between private and CSP networks, managing connections, and coordinating resource allocation, thereby reducing deployment time without exposing end users to network complexity.
