Wireless Access Network Service Management via Environmental Monitoring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Wireless communication access networks face challenges in maintaining quality of service due to environmental conditions such as wind speed, which affects call setup failures, hand-off failures, and data throughput, as existing systems do not effectively adjust service parameters in response to changing environmental conditions.
Innovation Solution
A system that monitors environmental conditions like wind speed and adjusts communication service parameters, such as channel assignment latency and n-way setup parameters, using environmental detectors and processors to maintain a desired quality of service by optimizing resource allocation based on measured conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If service parameters are adjusted dynamically based on environmental conditions, then quality of service and reliability improve, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic adjustment of service parameters (such as channel assignment latency and n-way setup parameters) based on real-time environmental conditions like wind speed. The system transitions from static configuration to dynamic adaptation, allowing the access network to respond to changing environmental factors that affect wireless communication reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs feedback mechanisms by monitoring environmental conditions and using this information to adjust service parameters. Environmental detectors continuously measure conditions such as wind speed, and this feedback is used by the service parameter adjustment module to optimize communication reliability under varying environmental circumstances.
2Reliability
If environmental monitoring and dynamic parameter adjustment are implemented, then call setup failures and hand-off failures reduce, but device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary environmental detector component that bridges the gap between environmental conditions and communication system performance. This detector acts as a mediator, converting environmental factors (such as wind speed) into usable data that triggers appropriate service parameter adjustments, thereby reducing call setup failures without requiring direct complex interaction between all system components.
3Productivity
If service parameters are optimized for varying environmental conditions, then data throughput improves, but measurement and detection difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex manual measurement and detection processes with automated environmental detectors. These detectors use established sensing technologies to automatically measure environmental conditions such as wind speed, eliminating the need for manual observation and simplifying the measurement process while enabling continuous monitoring for optimal service parameter adjustment.
