Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional macro cellular systems face limitations in service capacity, especially at cell edges and in high-density areas, due to significant interference between nearby wireless access nodes in micro cells with small radii, which existing solutions like interference randomization and multi-user MIMO fail to effectively address.

Innovation Solution

A method involving a central processing node that sends and receives pilot signal strength or channel characteristics to allocate appropriate wireless access nodes and modulation schemes for user terminals, reducing interference by dynamically selecting optimal paths and beamforming schemes based on signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratios.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of cell radius from conventional large radius to small micro cell radius (50-100 meters), which increases system capacity and bandwidth but simultaneously causes severe interference between neighboring access nodes. This parameter change is the core technical contradiction that the patent aims to resolve through dynamic resource allocation and interference coordination mechanisms.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic resource allocation where the base station dynamically assigns different time-frequency resources to multiple user terminals based on real-time channel conditions, signal quality, and interference levels. This dynamic approach allows multiple users to share channel resources efficiently while minimizing mutual interference through adaptive resource partitioning.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a central controller as an intermediary that coordinates resource allocation and interference management across multiple access nodes in the grid system. This central controller collects channel state information from all nodes and users, performs global optimization, and distributes resource allocation decisions, enabling more effective interference mitigation than distributed conventional methods.
