Solution Overview

Problem

Current radio communication management systems fail to optimally adapt to the context and usage of multiple available radiofrequency communication devices, leading to inefficient data processing, storage, and communication, particularly in wireless networks where link quality and energy consumption vary significantly.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for a context-aware radio resource management system that assesses and optimizes wireless communication paths by using a pan-device communication optimization system, which evaluates end-to-end quality ratings based on user device trends, link conditions, and energy consumption to automatically select the most efficient wireless technology and service provider for each communication type.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a user has multiple radiofrequency communication devices available, then communication flexibility and device options increase, but the complexity of selecting and managing the optimal communication path increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedevice optionsVSAvoidcommunication path management

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The radio resource management system automatically performs context assessment, link quality evaluation, and optimal path selection without requiring manual user intervention. The system self-manages the complexity by continuously monitoring device trends, link conditions, and energy consumption to autonomously determine the best communication path among multiple available devices

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically evaluates and changes communication parameters including device selection, wireless technology type, service provider, and communication path based on real-time context assessment. By continuously adjusting these parameters according to assessed conditions, the system manages the complexity of multiple devices through adaptive parameter optimization rather than fixed configurations

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If the system continuously monitors and optimizes communication paths across multiple devices, then communication efficiency and service quality improve, but energy consumption and processing resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecommunication efficiencyVSAvoidenergy consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs context assessment and optimization at appropriate intervals and only when necessary, rather than continuously monitoring all parameters at maximum intensity. By applying partial action - assessing and optimizing only when conditions warrant intervention - the system maintains communication efficiency while avoiding excessive energy consumption from constant full-scale monitoring

Inventive Principle:

Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs context assessment in advance to predict optimal communication paths before actual communication occurs. By preliminarily evaluating device trends, link conditions, and energy consumption, the system can pre-determine the best path, reducing the need for frequent real-time adjustments and associated energy expenditure during active communication

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

3Loss of energy

If the system selects optimal wireless paths based on multiple factors including energy consumption, then overall energy efficiency improves, but the complexity of assessment and decision-making increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveenergy efficiencyVSAvoidassessment complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of energyVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The radio resource management system performs multiple functions within a unified assessment framework: evaluating device trends, assessing link conditions, calculating energy consumption, and selecting optimal paths all through a single context assessment process. This multi-functional approach consolidates what could be separate complex systems into one integrated solution, managing assessment complexity while achieving energy efficiency across multiple optimization criteria

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
