Virtual Private Mobile Network Configuration for Cloud Latency
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless mobile networks face limitations in providing secure, high-performance access to business applications and data hosted in cloud computing data centers, particularly due to bandwidth constraints and latency issues, especially for latency-sensitive applications.
Innovation Solution
The configuration of virtual private mobile networks (VPMNs) dynamically partitions network elements to create a secure, low-latency pathway between mobile devices and cloud computing data centers, using techniques like Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and virtual local area networks (VLANs) to optimize routing and reduce propagation times.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If wireless mobile networks use standard routing protocols to access cloud computing data centers, then network coverage and connectivity are maintained, but bandwidth constraints and latency issues occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the network into virtual private mobile networks (VPMNs) that are logically partitioned from the public mobile network. This segmentation creates dedicated pathways for data traffic, separating enterprise traffic from general public traffic, thereby reducing propagation time and improving access speed to cloud computing data centers.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces VPMN gateways as intermediary devices that facilitate optimized routing between mobile devices and cloud computing data centers. These gateways implement Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) to create efficient data paths, acting as mediators that reduce latency compared to standard routing protocols.
2Reliability
If virtual private mobile networks are configured to provide secure access, then security and performance are improved, but network complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The VPMN gateway is designed as a multi-functional device that simultaneously provides security enforcement, MPLS routing, VLAN management, and QoS policies. By consolidating multiple functions into a single gateway device, the system achieves secure and reliable access while managing complexity through functional integration rather than proliferation of separate components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes network parameters by implementing logical partitioning through VPMNs with dedicated IP address spaces, MPLS label switching, and configurable QoS parameters. These parameter changes enable secure access and optimized performance without requiring physical network redesign, managing complexity through software-based configuration rather than hardware complexity.
3Productivity
If standard network routing is used, then network simplicity is maintained, but bandwidth utilization is suboptimal
Solution Approach 1:
The VPMN configuration enables dynamic bandwidth allocation and routing optimization. The network can dynamically adjust QoS parameters, allocate bandwidth resources, and reroute traffic based on real-time conditions, improving bandwidth utilization while managing complexity through automated dynamic control rather than static complex configurations.
