Solution Overview

Problem

Existing network configurations fail to dynamically adapt to different user types and service requirements, leading to suboptimal throughput and performance in wireless communication networks.

Innovation Solution

Network operators utilize location-service data to proactively reconfigure Radio Access Technology (RAT), multiplexing modes, and frequency layers based on user and service types, employing techniques such as dual connectivity (DC) and carrier aggregation (CA) to enhance throughput.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If network operators use a fixed network configuration, then device complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but throughput performance deteriorates for different user types and service scenarios

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovethroughputVSAvoidnetwork configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic network reconfiguration by monitoring service session information and automatically adjusting network parameters (such as switching between single connectivity and dual connectivity modes, adjusting carrier aggregation configurations) based on real-time throughput requirements and user equipment conditions, allowing the network to adapt its complexity dynamically rather than being fixed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes network parameters dynamically by modifying connectivity modes (single vs dual connectivity), frequency layer assignments, and multiplexing configurations based on monitored service session data and throughput performance metrics, enabling the network to optimize for different user types and service scenarios

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If network operators implement dynamic reconfiguration based on service session information, then throughput performance is improved for different user types, but the complexity of network monitoring and control increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser throughputVSAvoidnetwork control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The network system performs self-service by automatically monitoring its own service session information, identifying throughput bottlenecks, and executing reconfiguration actions without requiring manual intervention, thereby managing the increased complexity through automation rather than human operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by continuously monitoring service session information and throughput performance, then using this feedback to trigger appropriate reconfiguration actions, creating a closed-loop control system that manages complexity through automated decision-making based on real-time network conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If network operators monitor service session information and proactively reconfigure connections, then user experience is improved through optimal throughput, but the time and resources required for monitoring and reconfiguration increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experience qualityVSAvoidtime for monitoring and reconfiguration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by proactively monitoring service session information and preparing reconfiguration strategies before throughput degradation becomes severe, allowing the network to preemptively optimize connections rather than reactively responding to performance issues, thereby reducing overall reconfiguration time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
