Physical Channel Bundling for High Data Rate Transmission
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data communication systems face challenges in maintaining high data rates and quality of service (QoS) as the distance increases, especially when distributing video, TV, and voice data, due to interference and physical channel limitations, making it difficult to deliver these services over long distances without degrading quality.
Innovation Solution
The system bundles multiple physical channels, such as wireless and wired channels, using MIMO operations and separate MAC entities for independent data processing and transmission, allowing data to be transmitted over available channels without interference, thereby increasing throughput and operational distance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a single physical channel is used for data transmission, then the system is simple and easy to manage, but the achievable data rate decreases with increased distance and interference
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple physical channels (first physical channel and second physical channel) into a bundled configuration to transmit data streams. By merging multiple channels, the system achieves higher data rates and extended transmission distance while maintaining manageable complexity through structured channel bonding mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The data stream is segmented into multiple sub-streams that can be transmitted over different physical channels within the bundle. This segmentation allows independent transmission over multiple channels, increasing overall throughput while enabling the system to handle interference and distance limitations more effectively.
2Productivity
If multiple physical channels are bundled to increase data rate, then throughput improves, but the system complexity and coordination requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The MAC entity is designed with multi-functionality to handle multiple physical channels within the bundle. It performs channel selection, data stream segmentation, and coordination across different channels using a unified approach, thereby managing the complexity of multi-channel operation while maximizing throughput.
3Length of stationary object
If data is transmitted over longer distances, then coverage area increases, but signal degradation and interference increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from using a single physical channel to bundling multiple channels, effectively adding a dimensional aspect to the transmission. This multi-channel approach provides additional transmission paths that can bypass interference and extend the effective transmission distance by utilizing spatial diversity.
