UE Type-Based Load Migration in Communication Networks

The patent applies local quality by differentiating migration strategies based on UE type. The network device determines whether a UE is a first type (e.g., voice service UE) or second type (e.g., data service UE) and applies different migration rules: first type UEs are migrated only when necessary (e.g., network device failure), while second type UEs are actively migrated during load re-balancing. This targeted approach improves overall network resource allocation efficiency while maintaining adaptability to different service requirements.

The patent segments the UE population into different types (first type and second type) based on service requirements. Network devices are similarly segmented into dedicated type network devices for first type UEs and general network devices for second type UEs. This segmentation enables specialized service handling without requiring complete reconstruction of existing devices, as the patent leverages existing device capabilities while organizing them into specialized groups through configuration rather than hardware modification.

The patent implements dynamic migration rules that adapt to UE type and network conditions. For first type UEs, the migration rule is dynamic and restrictive: migration occurs only when the serving network device fails or becomes unavailable, ensuring service continuity while allowing necessary migrations. For second type UEs, the migration rule is dynamic and flexible: active migration is performed during load re-balancing operations. This dynamic approach maintains service continuity for critical UEs while enabling efficient load balancing for non-critical UEs.
