Telecom Neighbor Data Management via Persistent Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In telecommunications networks, there is a lack of efficient management and backup of neighbor information, leading to data loss during reconfiguration and the inability to provide real-time updates. Additionally, there is no user interface for visualizing and managing neighbor parameters.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for managing neighbor data in telecommunications networks, which includes receiving updated data from neighboring cells, saving it to persistent storage, displaying it in a graphical user interface (GUI), and allowing configuration changes based on user instructions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If neighbor information is shared from UE to network without backup mechanism, then data transmission is simple, but data loss occurs during reconfiguration
Solution Approach 1:
The configuration manager performs preliminary actions by receiving and storing neighbor information in persistent storage before any reconfiguration events occur. This proactive data preservation ensures that neighbor relationships are maintained even when network reconfiguration happens, preventing data loss without requiring complex real-time backup mechanisms during reconfiguration events.
2Productivity
If no persistent storage is implemented, then system resources are conserved, but real-time update capability is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the storage function into a separate persistent storage component managed by the configuration manager, distinct from the main network operation systems. This separation allows the network to maintain real-time update capabilities through the configuration manager's storage operations without consuming excessive resources in the core network operations, achieving real-time updates with optimized resource usage.
3Ease of operation
If no user interface is provided, then system complexity is reduced, but user ability to visualize and manage parameters is impaired
Solution Approach 1:
The configuration manager acts as an intermediary between the network's neighbor information data and the user interface. It receives neighbor information from the network, manages it in persistent storage, and presents it through the graphical user interface. This intermediary role enables comprehensive parameter visualization and management capabilities while keeping the core network system simple, as the interface complexity is isolated to the configuration manager layer.
