DYNAMIC CONFIGURATION OF CUSTOMER PREMISES EQUIPMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18512355 titled 'DYNAMIC CONFIGURATION OF CUSTOMER PREMISES EQUIPMENT

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes techniques for dynamically configuring Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) by transmitting identification parameters to a Cloud Onboarding Server (COS) and receiving operator-specific configurations in response, which are then used to configure the CPE based on the operator-specific parameters.

  • Identification parameters, such as a CPE identifier or network identifier, are sent to a Cloud Onboarding Server (COS).
  • An operator-specific configuration is received from the COS based on the identification parameters, indicating operational parameters associated with a network operator.
  • The CPE is configured using the operator-specific parameters received from the COS.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in the telecommunications industry for configuring CPE devices in a network.

Problems Solved

1. Simplifies the process of configuring CPE devices by dynamically adjusting settings based on operator-specific parameters. 2. Streamlines the onboarding process for new CPE devices by automating the configuration based on network operator requirements.

Benefits

1. Improved efficiency in setting up CPE devices in a network. 2. Enhanced compatibility with network operator standards. 3. Reduced manual configuration errors.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing CPE configuration processes in telecommunications networks.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of configuration templates for CPE devices based on network operator requirements.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact network security?

This article does not address the potential security implications of dynamically configuring CPE devices based on operator-specific parameters. It would be important to understand how this process ensures the security of the network and the CPE devices themselves.

What are the scalability limitations of this technology?

The scalability of dynamically configuring a large number of CPE devices simultaneously is not discussed in this article. Understanding the limitations of this technology in handling a high volume of devices would be crucial for its practical implementation in large-scale networks.


Original Abstract Submitted

Techniques for dynamically configuring a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) are described. In an example, identification parameters including at least one of a CPE identifier and a network identifier are transmitted to a Cloud Onboarding Server (COS). In response to transmission of the identification parameters, an operator specific configuration corresponding to the identification parameters is received from the COS, where the operator specific configuration is indicative of operational parameters associated with a network operator. The CPE is then configured based on the operator specific parameters.
