Bandwidth Weight Computation for Traffic Distribution in Aggregation Systems
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional bandwidth aggregation systems in 4G communication systems face issues with signal collision due to uneven distribution of traffic loads across multiple bandwidths, leading to communication link failures between mobile stations and base stations.
Innovation Solution
A bandwidth determination method that computes weights for multiple bandwidths based on resource allocation distributions and selects an optimal bandwidth for connection, adjusting channel sizes accordingly, to ensure uniform resource allocation and reduce signal collisions.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If terminals select bandwidth randomly in conventional bandwidth aggregation system, then bandwidth selection is simple, but traffic loads concentrate on single bandwidth causing signal collision and communication link failure
Solution Approach 1:
The base station computes weights for multiple bandwidths based on resource allocation distributions and feeds back this weight information to terminals through broadcast or RRC signaling. Terminals use this feedback to make informed bandwidth selection decisions, preventing traffic concentration and signal collisions while maintaining reliable communication links.
Solution Approach 2:
The base station performs preliminary computation of bandwidth weights based on resource allocation distributions before terminal bandwidth selection. This preliminary action provides terminals with guidance information in advance, enabling them to select bandwidths that will not cause traffic concentration or signal collisions.
2Reliability
If bandwidth weights are computed and transmitted to maintain uniform resource allocation, then signal collision probability decreases, but system overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The base station computes bandwidth weights based on resource allocation distributions and transmits this weight information to terminals through existing broadcast or RRC signaling mechanisms. This feedback enables terminals to select bandwidths that maintain uniform resource allocation and reduce signal collisions without requiring additional dedicated signaling channels.
Solution Approach 2:
The bandwidth weight information is transmitted utilizing existing broadcast or RRC signaling infrastructure, allowing the same communication channels to serve multiple purposes: system information dissemination and bandwidth selection guidance, thereby minimizing additional overhead.
