Communication Device Channel Segmentation for Coordinated WLAN Transmission
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In wireless communication systems, the use of coordinated transmission by multiple access points on the same frequency channel leads to throughput deterioration and reduced frequency utilization efficiency due to interference from adjacent basic service sets operating on the same frequency channel.
Innovation Solution
A communication device and method that dynamically sets and controls separate frequency channel groups for coordinated transmission and host network communication, ensuring that the host network's throughput is maintained by using distinct channel groups for coordinated transmission and host communication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If coordinated transmission is performed using the same frequency channel, then data transmission capability is improved, but frequency utilization efficiency deteriorates due to interference from adjacent basic service sets
Solution Approach 1:
The frequency channel is segmented into two distinct groups: a first frequency channel group dedicated for coordinated transmission and a second frequency channel group for host network communication. This segmentation allows coordinated transmission to occur without interfering with host network operations, resolving the contradiction between improved data transmission capability and maintained frequency utilization efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new dimension in frequency channel management by creating separate frequency domains for different transmission purposes. Instead of using a single frequency channel for both coordinated transmission and host network communication, the system operates in multiple frequency dimensions simultaneously, eliminating interference while maintaining both functions
2Adaptability or versatility
If the same frequency channel is used by adjacent basic service sets, then frequency resource utilization is improved, but throughput deteriorates due to mutual interference
Solution Approach 1:
The frequency channel is divided into separate groups for coordinated transmission and host network communication, allowing each to operate independently without mutual interference. This enables high frequency resource utilization while maintaining high throughput for both functions simultaneously
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically allocates and switches between the first and second frequency channel groups based on operational requirements. This dynamic management allows the system to adapt to different transmission scenarios while maintaining optimal throughput and frequency utilization efficiency
