Integrating Provider Radio Networks with Private Infrastructure
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 CSP-operated networks are overprovisioned and inefficient in meeting organization-specific needs.
Innovation Solution
Dynamic provisioning of provider-operated radio-based networks leveraging existing CSP infrastructure, allowing organizations to create ephemeral networks that scale up/down and integrate with private networks, using eSIMs and APIs for seamless transitions and intelligent network selection based on usage and conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If organizations deploy private radio-based networks, then network reliability and security are improved, but deployment cost and time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a third-party network operator as an intermediary that provides private radio-based network services to organizations. Instead of organizations building and maintaining their own private networks, they subscribe to services from specialized operators who deploy and manage the infrastructure, thereby reducing deployment time and cost while maintaining network reliability and security.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent describes a multi-functional private radio-based network service that can serve multiple organizations and use cases through a single infrastructure. The network can be configured to provide different service levels, coverage areas, and technical characteristics tailored to different customers, eliminating the need for each organization to deploy dedicated infrastructure.
2Reliability
If organizations deploy private radio-based networks, then network reliability is improved, but deployment cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
By introducing a specialized network operator as an intermediary, the patent enables organizations to access reliable private radio-based networks without bearing the full deployment cost. The operator invests in infrastructure and assumes operational costs, while organizations pay subscription fees based on their specific needs, thereby reducing upfront and ongoing costs for most customers.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent describes a universal private network platform that serves multiple organizations through shared infrastructure. This multi-functional approach allows cost pooling across multiple customers, reducing the per-organization deployment cost while maintaining high reliability through centralized management and optimized resource allocation.
3Area of stationary object
If CSP-operated networks are used, then network coverage is improved, but network efficiency and organization-specific needs alignment deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables CSP-operated networks to provide different service qualities to different organizations based on their specific needs. Each organization can receive tailored network configurations, coverage areas, and performance levels appropriate to their requirements, while the CSP maintains overall network efficiency through centralized optimization. This local customization approach resolves the contradiction between broad coverage and organization-specific efficiency.
4Adaptability or versatility
If existing private networks are deployed, then organization-specific needs are met, but adaptability to dynamic changes deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent describes a dynamic private radio-based network service that can be rapidly configured, scaled, and modified according to changing organization needs. The network operator provides flexible deployment options and can adjust network parameters, coverage areas, and service levels in response to dynamic requirements, while the organization benefits from simplified management through the operator's expertise.
