Access Point Resource Allocation for Overlapping Wi-Fi Interference
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Frequency interference occurs in scenarios with overlapping coverage of multiple Access Points (APs) using the same frequency band, which affects the communication quality and throughput in next-generation Wi-Fi technologies.
Innovation Solution
A data processing method and apparatus that allow a first Access Point (AP) to acquire resource allocation information from other BSSs using the same frequency band and allocate resources to stations within its own BSS accordingly, thereby reducing frequency interference.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If multiple Access Points (APs) use the same frequency band for Wi-Fi transmission, then the transmission rate and throughput are increased, but frequency interference occurs in scenarios with overlapping coverage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by having APs broadcast their resource allocation information in advance before actual data transmission occurs. This allows neighboring APs to receive and process the allocation information beforehand, enabling them to coordinate their resource usage and avoid frequency interference while maintaining high throughput performance
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where APs receive resource allocation information from neighboring APs and adjust their own resource allocation accordingly. This feedback loop enables dynamic coordination between multiple APs, allowing the system to optimize throughput while avoiding interference through continuous information exchange and adaptive adjustment
2Object-affected harmful factors
If resource allocation information is exchanged between multiple APs, then frequency interference is reduced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses resource allocation information as an intermediary medium that carries coordination data between APs. Instead of direct complex interactions, APs exchange this structured information message, which simplifies the communication protocol while enabling effective coordination to reduce frequency interference across overlapping coverage areas
