Solution Overview

Problem

During the deployment of wireless telecommunication networks, such as cloud-native 5G networks, issues and errors in network implementation can cause delays and increased costs, necessitating early identification and correction of discrepancies.

Innovation Solution

A model-based inventory system is implemented by a network inventory tracking control center to electronically build and compare network component information against predefined standards, identifying and addressing discrepancies between actual implementation and planned models.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If network components are installed and activated during network deployment, then network implementation progresses, but issues and errors may arise causing delays and increased costs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork deployment speedVSAvoidnetwork implementation quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system builds a digital model or scaffolding of the planned network portion before actual implementation, establishing expected network component information and connectivity in advance. This preliminary action enables comparison against actual implementation data to identify discrepancies early, preventing delays and cost increases while maintaining deployment speed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of time

If network implementation is monitored and compared against planned models, then deployment errors can be detected early, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetime to detect deployment errorsVSAvoidmonitoring system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system creates a digital copy or model of the planned network portion, including expected network component information and connectivity. This digital model serves as a reference for comparing against actual implementation data, enabling early error detection through automated comparison without requiring complex manual monitoring processes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

Example embodiments are directed towards systems and methods for model-based inventory of wireless telecommunication networks. In response to receiving information regarding network components or connectivity as system components are implemented (e.g., installed and/or activated), the system may electronically compare the received information to a model previously built according to the current standards of the telecommunication service provider, such as a mobile network operator (MNO) for the wireless telecommunication network, and then electronically determine whether there exists a discrepancy between the received information regarding network components or connectivity and the model based on the comparison. An action may then be performed based on the determination of whether there exists a discrepancy, such as sending an alert or taking other corrective action.
