Wireless Network UE Status Collection Before Telephony Requests
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Wireless communication networks face inefficiencies in gathering and delivering status information for user equipment, leading to delays in service delivery.
Innovation Solution
A wireless communication network system that efficiently collects and delivers status information for user equipment by authenticating devices, determining their status, and using network elements to retrieve and select appropriate Radio Access Technologies based on this information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If the wireless communication network uses traditional status information gathering methods, then the network elements can obtain UE status information, but the service delivery is delayed due to waiting time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by having the Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) determine and store UE status information (such as location, access technology, and voice-calling capabilities) during the initial authentication and registration phase, before any telephony service is requested. This pre-gathered information is then readily available when the Telephony Application Server (TAS) needs it, eliminating the waiting time and allowing immediate service delivery.
2Productivity
If the network gathers status information on demand, then the information is available when needed, but the process is inefficient and causes service delays
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by collecting UE status information during the initial authentication and registration processes, rather than gathering it on demand when telephony services are requested. The AMF determines location, access technology, and capability information upfront and stores it in the Unified Data Repository (UDR), making it immediately available to the TAS without causing service delays.
3Reliability
If the network elements wait for status information before delivering services, then accurate service delivery is ensured, but the overall network responsiveness is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by having the AMF determine and store comprehensive UE status information (location, access technology, voice-calling capabilities) during the initial authentication and registration phase. This pre-collected information is stored in the UDR and is immediately available to the TAS when telephony services are requested, ensuring both accurate service delivery and rapid network responsiveness without the need to wait for status information.
Data Source
AI summary
A data communication system authenticates a wireless communication device, and in response, determines status information for the wireless communication device. The data communication system receives a telephony request for the wireless communication device. The data communication system delivers a telephony service to the wireless communication device in response to the telephony request and based on the status information.
