Solution Overview

Problem

Current cellular networks are inflexible and unable to efficiently manage the increasing demands for universal connectivity, coverage, and processing power, particularly due to their fixed architecture, which limits the utilization of underutilized processing power in mobile devices and fails to provide comprehensive, scalable mobile wireless access.

Innovation Solution

The development of a peer-to-peer self-organizing mobile network that upgrades existing and future mobile devices with key network intelligence, enabling the creation of Virtual Mobile Network Sites (VMNSs) and allowing for decentralized communication through a hardware and software platform, including blockchain-based routing and resource management, to optimize spectrum usage and create a 'Mobile Mobile Network' (MMN).

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If fixed network infrastructure is expanded to provide universal coverage, then network coverage is improved, but device complexity and infrastructure cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenetwork coverage areaVSAvoidinfrastructure complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the centralized fixed network into distributed mobile nodes (smartphones, tablets, laptops) that each function as independent network sites. These segmented nodes collectively provide universal coverage without requiring traditional fixed infrastructure expansion, resolving the contradiction between coverage area and infrastructure complexity

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a two-dimensional fixed network topology to a three-dimensional mobile mesh network where nodes can move freely in space. This dimensional change enables coverage in previously unreachable areas while maintaining network connectivity through dynamic node reconfiguration, improving coverage without proportional infrastructure complexity increase

Inventive Principle:

Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Quantity of substance

If more carrier cell sites are deployed to increase capacity, then network capacity is improved, but loss of energy and operational costs worsen

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenetwork capacityVSAvoidoperational energy consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

Quantity of substanceVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service through automated node selection, dynamic resource allocation, and self-organizing network formation. Mobile nodes automatically discover and connect to optimal peers without carrier intervention, and the network dynamically allocates spectrum and routing resources based on real-time demand, increasing capacity while minimizing energy consumption through efficient resource utilization

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes key network parameters from fixed to dynamic: spectrum allocation, routing paths, node roles, and power levels are all adjusted in real-time based on network conditions and user demand. This dynamic parameter adjustment enables the network to scale capacity on-demand without the energy overhead of permanently deployed cell sites

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

3Stability of the object's composition

If traditional fixed network architecture is used to provide connectivity, then network stability is improved, but adaptability to new mobile modalities worsens

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenetwork stabilityVSAvoidadaptability to mobile modalities

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the static fixed network into a dynamic mobile mesh network where node roles, connections, and routing paths continuously adapt to changing conditions. The network maintains stability through self-organizing protocols and automated node selection while simultaneously achieving versatility by supporting diverse mobile modalities (pedestrian, vehicular, aerial) with varying mobility patterns and requirements

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

4Area of stationary object

If carrier infrastructure investment is increased to improve coverage, then network coverage is improved, but ease of manufacture and deployment worsen

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenetwork coverage areaVSAvoiddeployment simplicity

Core Design Contradiction:

Area of stationary objectVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses software-based virtual network sites that can be copied and deployed across mobile devices without physical infrastructure installation. Each mobile node contains a virtualized network stack that replicates cell site functionality, enabling rapid deployment of coverage in new areas through software distribution rather than physical construction, dramatically improving ease of manufacture and deployment

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying
