Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional wireless networks face challenges in managing wireless interference, particularly in CBRS band allocations, which can lead to revocation of allocated wireless channels, affecting service quality and network performance.

Innovation Solution

A communication management resource detects wireless interference and directs communication devices to operate in a device-to-device mode, reducing interference by forwarding data through a designated device, thereby minimizing the need for channel revocation and maintaining network efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the wireless base station communicates data to multiple communication devices using conventional wireless channels, then the network provides standard communication service, but wireless interference occurs and channel revocation may be required

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveservice continuityVSAvoidwireless interference

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a device-to-device communication mode where communication devices act as intermediaries to forward data to other devices. This intermediary approach bypasses the conventional base station-to-device path that causes interference, allowing data transmission while avoiding the harmful wireless interference that would trigger channel revocation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the communication path into device-to-device segments rather than relying on a single base station-to-device path. By dividing the communication flow into multiple device-level segments, the system can maintain service continuity through alternative paths when interference is detected, preventing channel revocation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If the wireless base station uses allocated wireless channels to communicate with communication devices, then data transmission is enabled, but wireless interference affects network performance and may lead to channel revocation

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata transmission efficiencyVSAvoidnetwork performance stability

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a dynamic communication mode switching mechanism that adapts between conventional base station communication and device-to-device communication based on detected interference conditions. This dynamic adjustment maintains data transmission efficiency by switching to alternative device-to-device paths when interference threatens network performance stability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The communication management resource detects wireless interference and provides feedback to switch communication modes. This feedback mechanism ensures that data transmission continues efficiently by activating device-to-device communication when interference is detected, thereby maintaining network performance stability without channel revocation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

3Object-affected harmful factors

If the communication management resource detects wireless interference and implements device-to-device communication mode, then wireless interference is reduced, but additional communication management complexity is introduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvewireless interference levelVSAvoidcommunication management complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables communication devices to autonomously participate in device-to-device communication without requiring complex centralized coordination for each transmission. Devices self-organize to forward data to neighboring devices, reducing wireless interference while minimizing the additional management complexity that would otherwise be required to coordinate interference avoidance.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A communication management resource detects or anticipates occurrence of wireless interference on a wireless channel allocated to a wireless base station to communicate with multiple communication devices. In response to the detected wireless interference, the communication management resource determines a group of the multiple communication devices receiving data of a particular type from the wireless base station. To reduce the wireless interference, the wireless base station notifies the communication devices in the group to operate in a device-to-device communication mode as an alternative path of conveying the particular type of data to the group of communication devices. Thus, during times of wireless interference, instead of communicating a message to each of the wireless communication device in the group, the wireless base station communicates a wireless communication to a first communication device in the group; the first communication device forwards the communication to a second communication device in the group.
