Communication Processor Segmentation for Mobile Terminal AP Load
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile terminals burden their Application Processors (APs) with excessive communication loads as all peripheral devices, such as RF and WIFI modules, must communicate through the AP, leading to increased processing demands.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a communication method that allocates a customized communication processor to specific peripheral devices for data processing tasks, allowing these devices to communicate directly, thereby reducing the load on the AP.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If all peripheral devices communicate through the AP, then communication between peripheral devices is enabled, but the processing load on the AP increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the communication processing function into separate communication processors (CP0, CP1, etc.) that are independent from the AP. Each CP is responsible for specific communication protocols and can handle peripheral device communications autonomously, segmenting the overall communication processing workload away from the AP.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces communication processors as intermediary components between peripheral devices and the AP. These CPs act as mediators that handle communication tasks, allowing peripheral devices to communicate with each other or with the AP without directly burdening the AP with all communication processing.
2Device complexity
If all peripheral devices communicate through the AP, then centralized communication control is achieved, but communication efficiency decreases due to AP bottleneck
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments communication control functions across multiple independent communication processors rather than concentrating all control in the AP. This distribution of control functions maintains system organization while eliminating the AP bottleneck, thereby improving communication efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a new dimensional layer to the communication architecture by introducing dedicated communication processors that operate in parallel with the AP. This creates a multi-dimensional communication pathway where data can flow through CPs independently of the AP, increasing overall system throughput and efficiency.
