Access Node Cross Scheduling for Frequency Band Allocation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Telecommunication systems face inefficiencies due to high network load, particularly in managing data traffic across different frequency bands, which can lead to suboptimal resource utilization and service quality.
Innovation Solution
Cross scheduling transmissions from an access node by determining the application types associated with wireless devices and selecting different frequency bands for each application, allowing for separate scheduling of transmissions to optimize resource allocation and service quality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If all applications are scheduled over the same frequency band, then the scheduling process is simple, but the network load becomes unbalanced and system efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the network traffic into different applications (e.g., voice, data, video) and assigns each application type to a specific frequency band. This segmentation allows the system to manage different types of traffic separately, balancing network load across multiple frequency bands and improving overall system efficiency while maintaining manageable scheduling complexity through structured classification.
2Productivity
If frequency bands are selected based on application type, then resource allocation is optimized, but the scheduling complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different frequency bands to different application types based on their specific requirements. Each application type (voice, data, video) receives a frequency band optimized for its characteristics, such as bandwidth requirements and latency sensitivity. This targeted allocation improves resource utilization efficiency while the complexity is managed through systematic classification rules.
3Productivity
If multiple frequency bands are used for different applications, then network load is balanced, but the scheduling mechanism becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the scheduling parameter from a single unified frequency band assignment to application-type-based frequency band selection. By introducing application type classification as a new parameter, the system achieves network load balancing across multiple frequency bands. The complexity is managed through standardized classification criteria and deterministic selection rules that map application types to appropriate frequency bands.

AI summary
Systems and methods are described for cross scheduling transmissions from an access node. Data may be communicated between an access node and a wireless device over a first frequency band. A first application and a second application associated with the wireless device may be determined, where each of the applications comprises an application type. Based on the application type one of the first frequency band and a second frequency band may be selected for the first application and the second application, where the selected frequency bands are different. Transmissions associated with the first application may then be scheduled over the frequency band selected for the first application and transmissions associated with the second application may then be scheduled over the frequency band selected for the second application.
