Solution Overview

Problem

Existing Massive MIMO methods for intelligent space-divided cell clusters face interference issues among divided cells, leading to reduced link spectral efficiency and sub-optimal throughput in frequency-domain resource allocation.

Innovation Solution

A resource allocation method that determines user combinations within each cell, classifies them as non-collision or collision combinations, and allocates resource blocks based on available resources and estimated requirements to minimize interference and maximize throughput.

1Productivity

If space division multiplexing is adopted in intelligent space-divided cell cluster, then spectral efficiency is improved, but interference among divided cells increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespectral efficiencyVSAvoidinterference among divided cells
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the cell cluster into multiple divided cells (first divided cell, second divided cell, etc.) that can independently schedule users. By classifying user combinations into non-collision combinations (different divided cells) and collision combinations (same divided cell), the system achieves space division multiplexing while managing interference through selective resource allocation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If resource blocks are allocated to maximize throughput, then system capacity is improved, but resource allocation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovethroughputVSAvoidresource allocation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary classification of user combinations into non-collision and collision categories before resource block allocation. The network device determines user combinations for each divided cell, identifies which combinations will collide, and then allocates resource blocks accordingly. This preliminary classification simplifies the subsequent resource allocation process while maximizing throughput.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the allocation parameter from individual user basis to user combination basis. By considering multiple users together in combination units and allocating resource blocks at the combination level rather than individual user level, the system reduces allocation complexity while maintaining or improving overall throughput efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
