Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional network management methods struggle to effectively anticipate and manage transient, localized surges in demand on private networks, leading to resource strain and congestion due to a diverse user mix with varying connectivity requirements and service level agreements, failing to rapidly scale up or down infrastructure while maintaining alignment with pre-existing policies.

Innovation Solution

A management system utilizing machine learning models to detect, prioritize, and dynamically orchestrate network resources for strategic traffic steering and load balancing, aligning with real-time fluctuations and user demands to conserve resources and maintain network integrity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional network management methods are used, then network infrastructure can handle steady-state traffic, but it fails to effectively anticipate and manage transient, localized surges in demand leading to resource strain and congestion

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to manage transient demand surgesVSAvoidnetwork performance during demand surges
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by detecting events and predicting future network demand before the surge occurs. The machine learning models analyze current network state and event data to forecast upcoming demand patterns, allowing the system to proactively allocate resources and reconfigure network infrastructure in advance of actual demand spikes, thereby preventing congestion and maintaining reliable performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If network resources are allocated to handle diverse user mix, then connectivity requirements can be met, but computing and networking resources are consumed inefficiently

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesupport for diverse user connectivity requirementsVSAvoidcomputing and networking resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements dynamic resource allocation that adapts to diverse user connectivity requirements in real-time. Instead of statically provisioning resources for all possible user scenarios, the machine learning models continuously analyze network state and event data to dynamically adjust resource allocation, scaling up only when and where needed to meet specific user demands while conserving computing and networking resources during normal operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Reliability

If network infrastructure is scaled up to handle peak demand, then service level agreements can be maintained, but resources are wasted during low-demand periods

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveSLA complianceVSAvoidresource utilization efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses preliminary prediction to maintain SLA compliance without over-provisioning. Machine learning models forecast upcoming demand surges based on event data and network state analysis, enabling the system to scale resources up just before peak demand occurs and scale them down afterward. This predictive approach ensures SLA compliance during critical periods while maximizing resource utilization efficiency during low-demand periods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

4Ease of operation

If traditional methods manage network demand, then basic connectivity is provided, but transient localized demand surges cause congestion and resource strain

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebasic network connectivityVSAvoidnetwork stability during events
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements continuous feedback loops where machine learning models monitor network state, event data, and performance metrics in real-time. This feedback enables the system to detect emerging demand patterns, predict upcoming surges, and automatically adjust resource allocation and traffic routing to prevent congestion before it occurs, thereby maintaining both ease of operation and network stability during events.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A device may detect events associated with users of a public network and a private network, and may process the events, with a first machine learning model, to define the events and assign priorities to the events to generate prioritized events. The device may process the prioritized events and policies associated with the private network and the public network, based on the priorities and with a second machine learning model, to determine actions to perform in the private network and the public network. The device may cause resources to be allocated in the private network and the public network for performance of the actions.
