Solution Overview

Problem

Uniform Data Repositories (UDRs) in wireless communication networks face challenges in effectively managing overload and congestion, leading to service outages for wireless network users, as existing transport layer tools like TCP/TLS/SCTP do not provide adequate support at the application layer.

Innovation Solution

Wireless network applications determine priority indicators and transfer them to a data storage element or UDR, which then allocates and manages wireless network data based on these priorities, ensuring that higher-priority connections are served first and lower-priority connections may be terminated to conserve resources.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If transport layer tools like TCP/TLS/SCTP are used to manage data transfer, then reliable delivery and flow control are provided, but effective support at the application layer for UDR overload and congestion management is not achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata delivery reliabilityVSAvoidapplication layer adaptability to UDR conditions
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a new dimension of control by implementing application layer protocols that operate above the traditional transport layer. This additional layer enables priority-based data transfer and application-specific congestion management, allowing the system to adapt to UDR conditions in ways that standard TCP/TLS/SCTP cannot. The application layer acts as an intermediary that can make intelligent decisions about data transfer based on application requirements and UDR status.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an application layer as an intermediary between the transport layer and the UDR. This intermediary layer translates application-specific requirements into transport layer operations, enabling better coordination between application needs and UDR capabilities. The application layer mediator can prioritize traffic, manage connections, and adapt to UDR overload conditions while maintaining reliable delivery through coordinated interaction with transport layer protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If the amount of connections from wireless network applications to UDR increases, then more data services are supported, but UDR overload and congestion occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata service capacityVSAvoidUDR service availability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by implementing priority-based differentiation among connections to the UDR. Instead of treating all connections equally, the system assigns different priority levels to different applications or data types based on their specific requirements and the current UDR load conditions. This allows critical services to maintain reliable access even when overall connection volume is high, while less critical services can be throttled or rejected.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic connection management where the UDR and application layer can adjust connection priorities, allocate resources dynamically, and adapt to changing load conditions in real-time. Connection thresholds, priority assignments, and data transfer rates are not fixed but can be modified based on current UDR status, enabling the system to handle varying levels of connectivity without permanent overload.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Reliability

If priority-based data transfer is implemented at the application layer, then UDR overload management is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveUDR overload managementVSAvoidapplication layer complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements universal priority-based management mechanisms that can be applied across multiple applications and UDR instances. The application layer protocols and priority assignment frameworks are designed to be general-purpose, allowing the same mechanisms to serve different applications with varying requirements. This reduces the need for application-specific customizations and manages complexity through standardized multi-functional solutions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

In a wireless communication system, wireless network applications determine their priority indicators. The wireless network applications transfer their priority indicators to a data storage element like a Uniform Data Repository (UDR). In response, the data storage element transfers wireless network data to the wireless network applications in a priority order based on the priority indicators.
