Channel Allocation Apparatus for Communication Systems
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication systems, such as WLAN, face challenges in allocating frequency channels to multiple stations (STAs) without considering their transmission modes, leading to channel interference and disrupted data transmission and reception.
Innovation Solution
A channel allocation apparatus and method that receives terminal information from STAs, checks their transmission modes, and allocates channels in available frequency bands to minimize interference, using a receiving unit, checking unit, and allocating unit to transmit channel allocation information to STAs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If frequency channels are allocated to multiple STAs without considering transmission modes, then channel allocation is simple, but channel interference occurs and data transmission is disrupted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by allocating channels based on individual STA transmission modes. Each STA receives channel allocation tailored to its specific transmission mode (e.g., OFDM, DSSS, CCK), ensuring that the channel assignment is optimized for local transmission characteristics rather than applying a uniform allocation method to all STAs.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics by making channel allocation adaptive to transmission modes. The base station dynamically determines channel assignments based on the transmission modes of different STAs, allowing the system to adjust channel allocation in response to changing transmission requirements and minimize interference between different transmission types.
2Productivity
If channels are allocated without considering transmission modes, then allocation process is fast, but channel interference prevents normal data transmission
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by having STAs report their transmission modes to the base station before channel allocation occurs. This advance information allows the base station to pre-calculate optimal channel assignments that prevent interference, rather than having to resolve interference issues after allocation has already been made.
3Productivity
If frequency channels are allocated to multiple STAs, then data transmission capacity increases, but channel interference occurs reducing transmission performance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by allocating channels based on individual STA transmission modes. Each STA receives channel allocation tailored to its specific transmission mode (e.g., OFDM, DSSS, CCK), ensuring that the channel assignment is optimized for local transmission characteristics rather than applying a uniform allocation method to all STAs.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics by making channel allocation adaptive to transmission modes. The base station dynamically determines channel assignments based on the transmission modes of different STAs, allowing the system to adjust channel allocation in response to changing transmission requirements and minimize interference between different transmission types.
4Adaptability or versatility
If limited frequency channels are allocated to multiple STAs, then channel utilization increases, but channel interference occurs disrupting data transmission
