Service Quality Threshold-Based Frequency Band Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
User devices often experience poor service quality due to suboptimal channel selection, resulting in unusable services and a poor user experience, as they currently lack the ability to identify and adapt to service quality thresholds associated with different applications and frequency bands.
Innovation Solution
The system enables network devices to identify and transmit service quality thresholds to user devices, allowing them to measure and display service quality levels, and select the most suitable communication mode (unicast, multicast, etc.) and frequency band based on these thresholds, ensuring optimal service access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If user devices select channels without service quality threshold information, then device complexity is reduced, but service quality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The network device performs preliminary action by transmitting service quality threshold information to the user device before the user device needs to select a channel. This allows the user device to have the necessary information ready for making informed channel selection decisions without increasing operational complexity during the actual service access.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces service quality threshold information as an intermediary element that bridges the network device and user device. This intermediary carries the necessary quality parameters from the network to the user device, enabling informed channel selection without requiring direct complex interactions between the devices.
2Reliability
If user devices measure and display service quality levels, then service quality is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The user device performs self-service by autonomously measuring service quality levels and displaying them to the user without requiring network intervention or complex external systems. The device uses its own resources to monitor quality parameters and present information, reducing dependency on network complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the user device measures actual service quality and displays this information to users. This feedback loop enables users to see the actual quality levels and make informed decisions about channel selection, improving service quality through user awareness and participation.
3Adaptability or versatility
If user devices have multiple communication modes and frequency bands to choose from, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamic adaptability by allowing the user device to change communication modes and frequency bands based on real-time service quality measurements and user preferences. The system dynamically adjusts the access method rather than being fixed, enabling the device to adapt to varying network conditions while managing complexity through automated decision-making.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies parameter changes by modifying communication parameters such as frequency band and communication mode based on measured service quality thresholds. The device changes these parameters dynamically to optimize service quality, transforming the system from static to adaptive while managing complexity through parameter-based control.
Data Source
AI summary
A user device receives an instruction to access an application, of one or more applications being provisioned via one or more base stations; obtains service quality information, associated with the application, where the service quality information identifies one or more quality thresholds associated with one or more frequency bands to be used to access the application; measures a first level of service quality associated with traffic being received via a first frequency band and a second level of service quality associated with traffic being received via a second frequency band; and accesses the application using one of the first frequency band or the second frequency band based on a determination that another one of the first level of service quality or the second level of service quality is less than a threshold, of the one or more quality thresholds.
