Multimode Heterogeneous Cellular Communication with Integrated Multi-Channel Link Diversity, Physical Layer Optimization, and Radio Access Handover

The invention overcomes the constraints imposed by conventional wireless communication standards by introducing a physical-layer optimized architecture that decouples transmission control from any single protocol. Rather than being confined by the predefined behaviors of LTE, 5G NR, Wi-Fi, or NB-IoT, the system implements a unified control system that dynamically manages radio parameters—such as modulation, coding, and power—based on real-time link quality and network context. This cross-standard, multimode capability effectively supersedes traditional standard-driven implementations, enabling adaptive, low-latency, and spectrum-efficient communication in complex heterogeneous environments.The system dynamically controls radio access network (RAN) and physical layer parameters, including carrier aggregation, dynamic spectrum allocation, modulation and coding scheme (MCS) adaptation, beamforming configuration, channel coding, transmit power control, and frequency selection. The system architecture includes multi-mode base stations, relay nodes, and edge access points that support inter-RAT handover, fast radio link recovery, and seamless mobility across diverse wireless technologies.
