Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for an enhanced resource allocation method in base stations that can support multiple communication systems without compromising resources for normal communication systems, particularly in the context of evolving IoT environments and the integration of 5G communication technologies.
Innovation Solution
The proposed solution involves a system-specific resource allocation method for base stations, which allows them to improve the quality of system-specific signals by allocating resources in a manner that supports multiple communication systems simultaneously, including IoT and LTE systems, while minimizing interference and maintaining resource efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If base stations allocate resources to support multiple communication systems (IoT, 5G, LTE), then system versatility and signal quality improve, but resource allocation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the resource allocation process into separate control channels (first control channel for first communication system, second control channel for second communication system) and divides resources into first resources and second resources. This segmentation allows independent management of different communication systems while maintaining overall system coordination, thereby reducing allocation complexity despite supporting multiple systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The base station is designed with multi-functionality to simultaneously support multiple communication systems (first communication system and second communication system) using the same physical resources. The base station can allocate resources to different systems based on their specific requirements, enabling a single base station to serve diverse communication needs without requiring separate infrastructure for each system.
2Productivity
If base stations transmit system-specific signals for multiple communication systems on the same resources, then resource utilization efficiency improves, but signal interference increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the control information transmission by assigning separate control channels to different communication systems. The first control channel carries control information for the first communication system while the second control channel carries control information for the second communication system. This segmentation prevents control signal interference and allows efficient resource utilization across multiple systems simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces system-specific control channels as intermediaries between the base station and different communication systems. These control channels act as dedicated pathways that mediate the transmission of control information, preventing direct interference between systems while enabling coordinated resource allocation. The control channels serve as intermediaries that manage the interactions between multiple communication systems sharing physical resources.
