Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication devices lack the ability to adaptively identify and communicate between different bandwidth standards, specifically failing to support inter-communication between 6.25kHz and 12.5kHz standards with consistent air interface protocols and limiting devices to support only one standard.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for adaptively identifying signal bandwidth by using multiple signal identification templates to differentiate synchronization frame information, allowing devices to automatically switch between receiving or transmitting modes for end-to-end communication, supporting multiple standards without manual intervention.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements multi-functionality by enabling a single wireless communication device to support multiple bandwidth standards (6.25kHz and 12.5kHz) through a unified identification mechanism. The device uses multiple signal identification templates corresponding to different bandwidth standards to detect and adapt to various standards, allowing one device to perform multiple bandwidth-specific functions without requiring separate hardware for each standard.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting the signal identification parameters (templates) based on the detected bandwidth standard. The device changes its operational parameters including the identification template selection, synchronization frame detection parameters, and communication protocol parameters according to the identified bandwidth standard, enabling adaptive operation across different standards without permanent hardware reconfiguration.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service by enabling the wireless communication device to automatically identify the bandwidth standard of the received signal and switch to the appropriate communication mode without user intervention. The device autonomously performs signal detection, bandwidth standard identification, and mode switching operations, making the system self-configuring and eliminating the need for manual bandwidth standard selection by the operator.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses feedback mechanisms where the device continuously monitors the received signal characteristics, compares them against multiple identification templates, and automatically adjusts its operational mode based on the identification results. This closed-loop feedback process enables automatic adaptation to different bandwidth standards, with the system using the detected signal properties to feedback-controlled adjustments of its communication parameters.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by separating the identification process into distinct stages: signal reception, template matching, bandwidth standard identification, and mode selection. This segmented approach allows the device to systematically handle different bandwidth standards through a structured identification流程, maintaining reliability within each standard while enabling transitions between standards through clearly defined identification and switching mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
