Solution Overview

Problem

Existing mobile communication systems, such as OFDM, face significant performance degradation and inflexibility in high mobility environments due to high Doppler spreads, particularly in vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication scenarios.

Innovation Solution

The proposed solution involves selecting a delay-Doppler-resolution (DDR) from a database based on the properties of the transceiver, such as velocity and geographical position, to optimize radio communication in mobile communication systems. This approach enables adaptation of the DDR to specific transceiver properties and continuous improvement based on tracked radio performance.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the delay-Doppler-resolution configuration adaptable and changeable based on transceiver properties. Instead of using a fixed OFDM configuration, the system dynamically selects from multiple pre-calculated delay-Doppler-resolutions stored in a database, allowing the communication system to adapt to varying mobility conditions and maintain both spectral efficiency and reliability.

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameters of the communication system by selecting different delay-Doppler-resolutions from a database based on transceiver properties such as velocity and geographical position. This parameter selection approach allows optimization of both spectral efficiency and communication performance for different mobility scenarios without requiring complex real-time calculations.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-calculating and storing multiple delay-Doppler-resolutions in a database before actual communication occurs. These pre-computed configurations are organized based on transceiver properties, enabling quick selection during operation without requiring complex real-time calculations, thus maintaining low device complexity while achieving high adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
