Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Telecommunication networks experience irregular and unbalanced traffic patterns leading to inefficient resource utilization, resulting in delayed user access and deteriorated network performance due to overloading some resources while underutilizing others, which is not effectively addressed by static network designs.
Innovation Solution
A method to identify sector load imbalance by analyzing network usage and physical parameters, such as average connected users and downlink physical resource block utilization, azimuth, antenna height, and tilt differences, to optimize network infrastructure and rebalance resource distribution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the telecommunication infrastructure is expanded to match increasing demand, then the network capacity is improved, but the cost and implementation time increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic resource allocation by continuously monitoring network traffic patterns and physically adjusting antenna parameters (azimuth, elevation, tilt) in real-time to optimize resource distribution. This dynamic adaptation allows the network to respond to changing demand without requiring physical infrastructure expansion, thereby improving network capacity while avoiding the time-consuming process of building new cell sites.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes physical parameters of existing antennas (azimuth angle, elevation angle, tilt) to optimize signal distribution and resource allocation. By adjusting these parameters dynamically based on traffic patterns, the network can efficiently utilize existing infrastructure capacity without expanding physical coverage, thus avoiding the time and cost associated with new infrastructure deployment.

3Device complexity
If static cell site locations and radio resource allocation are used, then the infrastructure design is simplified, but the network cannot respond well to changes in demand
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic resource allocation by continuously monitoring network traffic patterns and physically adjusting antenna parameters (azimuth, elevation, tilt) in real-time to optimize resource distribution. This dynamic adaptation allows the network to respond to changing demand without requiring physical infrastructure expansion, thereby improving network capacity while avoiding the time-consuming process of building new cell sites.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors network traffic patterns and resource utilization metrics, using this feedback to dynamically adjust antenna parameters and resource allocation. This closed-loop feedback mechanism enables the network to adapt to changing demand patterns while maintaining relatively simple infrastructure design, as the adjustments are made through parameter optimization rather than physical expansion.
