Centralized Controller for Multi-Device White Spectrum Allocation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current frequency spectrum management systems do not support multiple access devices applying for the same band of white frequency spectrum, which is necessary for services like multimedia broadcast multicast (MBMS), limiting the utilization of white frequency spectrum resources.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that allows multiple access devices to apply for and utilize the same frequency band of white frequency spectrum by a controller sending application information to a database, receiving the assigned frequency band, and distributing it to the access devices, enabling centralized management and efficient resource allocation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the existing frequency spectrum application mechanism is used, then each Master can apply for different frequency bands, but multiple Masters cannot apply for the same frequency band simultaneously, limiting services like MBMS
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a frequency spectrum management system as an intermediary between multiple Masters and the frequency spectrum resources. This mediator coordinates application information from multiple Masters, manages frequency band allocation, and enables multiple Masters to simultaneously access the same frequency band through centralized control and coordination, thereby resolving the contradiction between supporting multiple Masters and maintaining management simplicity
2Quantity of substance
If white frequency spectrum resources are allocated to multiple Masters for the same service, then resource utilization improves, but the existing mechanism does not support simultaneous application by multiple Masters for the same band
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extends the frequency spectrum application mechanism to serve multiple Masters simultaneously for the same frequency band. The application information structure and management system are designed to handle universal cases where multiple Masters need to access the same resources, enabling services like MBMS that require multi-Master support while maintaining the existing single-Master functionality
3Adaptability or versatility
If a centralized frequency spectrum management system is implemented to allow multiple Masters to apply for the same band, then service support like MBMS is enabled, but the complexity of the management mechanism increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the frequency spectrum management function into distinct components: application information collection from Masters, application information processing by the management system, and frequency band allocation decisions. This segmentation allows the system to handle complex multi-Master scenarios while maintaining manageable complexity through modular architecture and clear functional separation

AI summary
A method, a device, and a system for applying for frequency spectrum are provided. The present invention relates to the field of wireless communications technologies, and is mainly used in a broadcast multicast service, so as to coordinate multiple access devices to apply for a same band of white frequency spectrum. The method includes: a controller sending first application information to a database (201), the first application information being used for applying for a frequency band of frequency spectrum for at least one access device; the controller receiving the frequency band of the frequency spectrum sent by the database (202); and the controller sending the frequency band of the frequency spectrum to the access device (203).
