Universal Domain Proxy for Multi-Vendor CBSD Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in managing diverse Citizens Broadband Radio Service Devices (CBSDs) from multiple vendors, as each vendor has proprietary domain proxies, leading to network complexity and constraints in CBSD internet access, hindering efficient spectrum access and management.
Innovation Solution
A universal domain proxy is introduced, capable of receiving messages from CBSDs, identifying source-specific interface adaptors, and communicating with a Spectrum Access System (SAS), enabling standard interfaces and unified operations and maintenance across heterogeneous CBSD deployments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If each vendor uses its own domain proxy with proprietary CBSD interface, then vendor-specific CBSDs can communicate with SAS, but network complexity increases and multi-vendor deployment becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal domain proxy that can serve multiple CBSD vendors through a standardized interface. The domain proxy includes a library of interface adaptors that can be selected based on the CBSD vendor, allowing a single proxy to handle diverse CBSD types without requiring separate proprietary proxies for each vendor.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces interface adaptors as intermediary components between the standardized domain proxy interface and vendor-specific CBSD interfaces. These adaptors translate between the universal domain proxy protocol and proprietary vendor protocols, enabling communication without direct vendor-specific proxies.
2Ease of operation
If CBSDs cannot directly access the SAS, then internet access constraints are satisfied, but CBSD spectrum access capability is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The domain proxy serves as an intermediary that enables CBSDs to access the SAS indirectly through the network. The proxy receives messages from CBSDs, identifies the appropriate interface adaptor, and forwards messages to the SAS, thus satisfying internet access constraints while maintaining full spectrum access capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The universal domain proxy provides a standardized interface that works for all CBSD types regardless of vendor or internet access capability. This universal interface ensures that CBSDs without direct internet access can still communicate with the SAS through the proxy's standardized protocol.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple vendor-specific domain proxies are deployed, then each vendor's CBSD can be supported, but management and maintenance complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple vendor-specific domain proxy functions into a single universal domain proxy. Instead of maintaining separate proxies for each vendor, the system combines them into one unified proxy that uses a library of interface adaptors to handle all vendor types, significantly reducing management complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The universal domain proxy provides a single standardized interface that handles all CBSD vendors through its adaptor library. This universal approach eliminates the need for multiple separate proxy systems, simplifying deployment, management, and maintenance while maintaining full multi-vendor support.
