Configurable Wireless Announcements for Resource Reservation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless communication systems lack efficient mechanisms for managing resource reservations and announcements in a network, leading to potential interference and inefficient use of resources.
Innovation Solution
The method involves transmitting and receiving configurable announcements that indicate future resource reservations, allowing wireless communication devices to select appropriate resources and avoid interference. This includes transmitting announcements at different frequencies based on the time until the scheduled resource reservation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If wireless communication devices transmit resource reservations without configurable announcements, then the communication process is simpler, but resource allocation efficiency deteriorates and interference increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by transmitting resource reservation announcements before the actual resource allocation occurs. The announcing device sends advance notifications about future resource reservations, allowing receiving devices to proactively select alternative resources and avoid interference before conflicts arise. This preliminary communication enables proactive resource management rather than reactive conflict resolution.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies dynamics by making announcement configurations adjustable and adaptable. The system allows configurable parameters such as announcement timing, frequency, and content to be dynamically adjusted based on network conditions, device capabilities, and resource types. This dynamic configuration optimizes the balance between resource allocation efficiency and system complexity under different operating conditions.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If devices select resources without advance announcements, then the resource selection process is faster, but interference between communications increases
Solution Approach 1:
By transmitting resource reservation announcements in advance, receiving devices have time to process the information and select alternative resources before the reserved resources are needed. This preliminary notification eliminates the need for last-minute resource conflicts and reduces interference, while the time loss is minimized through efficient announcement formatting and processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables receiving devices to autonomously select alternative resources based on the announced reservations without requiring centralized arbitration or complex coordination protocols. Each device independently processes announcements and makes its own resource selection decisions, reducing overall system complexity and communication overhead while effectively avoiding interference.
3Productivity
If configurable announcements are transmitted, then resource use efficiency is improved, but the complexity of the communication protocol increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the resource reservation information into structured announcement messages with defined formats and fields. By dividing the communication protocol into discrete, well-defined components (announcement transmission, reception, processing, and resource selection), the system manages complexity through modular design while maintaining high resource allocation efficiency.

AI summary
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless communication device may transmit an announcement that indicates a plurality of future resource reservations. The wireless communication device may transmit multiple sets of announcements that indicate one or more reservations and may vary the transmission frequency thereof based on proximity to the communications. The wireless communication device may transmit an announcement that indicates a future communication and a cancellation indication that indicates a cancellation of the communication. The wireless communication device may transmit a preemption indication that indicates that resources reserved for an announced future communication have been preempted for another communication. Numerous other aspects are described.
