Patent ID: 10922069

Abstract:
Flexible, multidimensional infrastructure scaling for cloud-based over-the-air (OTA) systems is disclosed. The method comprises: obtaining requirements for OTA updates; obtaining infrastructure scaling data indicative of at least one of information technology (IT) infrastructure or communications resources provided by at least one mobile network operator (MNO); determining, using the infrastructure scaling data, a plurality of infrastructure scaling options that satisfies the requirements; determining a cost associated with each of the infrastructure scaling options; determining a cost-optimal infrastructure option from the plurality of infrastructure scaling options that satisfies the requirements for OTA updates and has the lowest associated cost; procuring and allocating a number or type of infrastructure components according to the cost-optimal infrastructure option; communicating an update time and update channel for delivering the OTA updates to the mobility clients; and initiating delivery of the OTA updates to the mobility clients using the procured and allocated infrastructure components.
