Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently assigning multiple communications devices to a frequency band for simultaneous data transmission, leading to suboptimal operating parameters and reduced throughput.

Innovation Solution

A scheduler uses a heuristic algorithm and parallel computing techniques to generate and evaluate candidate groupings of devices for frequency resource allocation, selecting groups based on channel gains and precoding matrices to maximize communication rates through MU-MIMO technology.

1Productivity

If multiple communications devices are assigned to a frequency band for simultaneous transmission, then the communication throughput increases, but the difficulty of resource allocation and interference management increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The frequency band is segmented into multiple sub-bands or resource blocks, allowing multiple device groups to transmit simultaneously on different frequency segments. This segmentation enables parallel communications while managing interference through frequency separation, thus increasing throughput without overwhelming allocation complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts device groupings, frequency assignments, and transmission parameters based on real-time channel conditions, device priorities, and interference levels. This dynamic resource allocation optimizes throughput adaptively while managing complexity through algorithmic control rather than static configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-computes channel state information, device compatibility metrics, and potential grouping configurations before actual resource allocation. This preliminary processing organizes data in advance, reducing the computational burden during real-time allocation decisions and improving overall efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses simplified models or approximations of complex channel conditions and device characteristics to generate candidate groupings quickly. These simplified representations allow efficient exploration of multiple allocation scenarios without requiring full computational complexity for each evaluation, balancing accuracy with processing requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
