Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless communication systems face resource-intensive challenges due to the large number of time-based offload vectors required to manage device offloads between base station carriers, which consume significant network and device resources.
Innovation Solution
A data processing system determines offload vector similarity among base station carriers to group them into a minimal number of carrier groups, generating a data structure that associates each group with representative offload vectors, reducing the number of vectors transferred and processed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If time-based offload vectors are generated for each base station carrier to control offloads, then offload control precision is improved, but network resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges similar base station carriers into carrier groups that share common offload vectors. By determining offload vector similarity among carriers and grouping them, the system reduces the total number of offload vectors from thousands to a manageable number, while maintaining effective offload control for all carriers in each group.
Solution Approach 2:
A single offload vector serves multiple base station carriers within the same carrier group. The patent implements this by associating multiple carriers with a common representative offload vector, allowing one vector to control offloads for all carriers in its group, thereby reducing overall resource consumption.
2Adaptability or versatility
If thousands of offload vectors are transferred to millions of wireless communication devices, then offload control coverage is improved, but device resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple carrier-specific offload vectors into shared group-level vectors. By determining similarity and grouping carriers, the system reduces the data set size that needs to be transferred to devices, while maintaining comprehensive offload control coverage through the representative vectors of each carrier group.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of transferring unique offload vectors for each carrier, the patent uses representative offload vectors that are copied and applied to multiple carriers within a group. This reduces the number of vectors devices must process while maintaining equivalent control coverage.
3Measurement precision
If wireless communication devices store and process large data sets of offload vectors, then offload decision accuracy is improved, but device processing burden increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges similar carriers into groups that share common offload vectors, significantly reducing the size of data sets that devices must store and process. This maintains offload decision accuracy by preserving the essential offload control information while reducing processing complexity through data consolidation.

AI summary
In a communication system, a data processing system determines offload vectors for first base station carriers in a first wireless communication network. The offload vectors indicate offload availability per time frame for device offloads from the first base station carriers to second base station carriers in a second wireless communication network. The data processing system determines offload vector similarity among the first base station carriers to group the first base station carriers into a lowest number of carrier groups to maintain the offload vector similarity within the carrier groups above a similarity threshold. The data processing system generates and transfers a data structure that associates the first base station carriers with representative offload vectors for their carrier groups. Wireless communication devices receive and process the data structure to control offloads from the first base station carriers to the second base station carriers.
