Solution Overview

Problem

Wireless communication systems face challenges in meeting users' demands for high-speed data services due to resource limitations, necessitating an enhanced system capable of providing a sponsoring service that allows users to designate and manage data usage for other User Equipment (UE) or groups.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a method and apparatus that enables a sponsoring service in wireless communication systems, where a UE determines and registers with a server to provide sponsoring services, and a server manages the charging policy based on sponsoring service-related information, allowing for the allocation and management of data usage for designated UEs or groups.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If wireless communication systems expand service providing areas by offering data services, then service coverage is improved, but network resources are depleted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice providing areaVSAvoidnetwork resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between the user equipment and network resources. The server manages sponsoring service relationships, tracks data usage, and coordinates with the communication network to allocate resources efficiently. This intermediary layer enables sophisticated resource management and charging policies that prevent resource depletion while expanding service coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic charging policies and resource allocation parameters based on sponsoring service relationships. The system modifies network charging parameters, data usage limits, and resource allocation rules according to the sponsoring arrangements between users, enabling flexible resource management that adapts to different service scenarios without depleting overall network resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Speed

If users demand higher-speed data services, then user satisfaction is improved, but network resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata service speedVSAvoidnetwork resources
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic resource allocation and charging policies that adapt to user demands and sponsoring service agreements. The system dynamically adjusts data service parameters, speed allocations, and resource distribution based on real-time conditions, sponsoring relationships, and network status, enabling high-speed services to be provided sustainably without depleting network resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If a sponsoring service system is implemented to allow users to designate data usage for other UEs, then user flexibility is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser flexibilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary that centralizes the management of sponsoring service relationships. The server handles complex tasks including tracking data usage across multiple UEs, managing sponsoring agreements, coordinating with network elements, and enforcing charging policies. This centralized intermediary approach provides user flexibility while containing system complexity in a dedicated management component rather than distributing it across all network elements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
