Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing techniques for managing vehicle data traffic offloading are inefficient, as they require time-consuming authentication and resource allocation processes, reducing the available time for data offloading when vehicles move between base stations.

Innovation Solution

Implementing an offloader management component that predicts a vehicle's future location and pre-authenticates the communication device and schedules resources at the destination base station, allowing immediate data offloading upon arrival.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If real-time authentication and resource allocation are performed when vehicles move between base stations, then security and resource management are ensured, but the available time for data offloading is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveauthentication and resource allocation reliabilityVSAvoidavailable time for data offloading

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs authentication and resource allocation in advance before the vehicle actually needs to offload data at the target base station. The offloader management component predicts the vehicle's future location and pre-authenticates the communication device, so that when the vehicle arrives at the predicted location, data offloading can begin immediately without waiting for authentication procedures.

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If traditional data offloading procedures are used, then proper authentication and resource management are maintained, but data transfer efficiency is reduced due to processing delays

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveauthentication and resource managementVSAvoiddata transfer efficiency

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

Authentication and resource allocation are performed beforehand rather than in real-time during data transfer. The system predicts where the vehicle will be and prepares authentication credentials and resource allocations in advance, eliminating processing delays during the actual data offloading operation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adapts authentication and resource allocation timing based on vehicle movement patterns and predicted trajectories. Rather than using fixed static procedures, the system adjusts the timing and location of authentication events to optimize data transfer efficiency while maintaining security.

AI summary

Offloading of data associated with vehicles can be managed. An offloader management component (OMC) associated with a backend server can predict a second location of a vehicle at a second time based on analyzing condition data indicative of a condition associated with the vehicle at a first time, prior to the second time, and location data indicative of a first location of the vehicle at the first time. Based on the predicting, and prior to the second time, OMC can instruct network equipment to authenticate a device associated with the vehicle and schedule a group of resources for use by the device at the second time. Based on the group of resources, the network equipment is able to provide a data communication service to the device at the second location to enable receipt of data by the backend server from the device via the network equipment.
