Frequency Layer Selection Using TIS and TRP Device Ratings
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current frequency layer selection mechanisms in telecommunications networks do not consider the unique Total Isotropic Sensitivity (TIS) and Total Radiated Power (TRP) ratings specific to each mobile device model, leading to suboptimal communication performance.
Innovation Solution
A network server calculates optimal TIS and TRP thresholds for each frequency layer and compares them with the mobile device's capabilities, switching the device to a more suitable frequency layer if it falls outside these thresholds.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If network operators predefine frequency layer priorities based on bandwidth and frequency band characteristics, then network-wide resource allocation is simplified and standardized, but device-specific communication performance is suboptimal because unique TIS and TRP ratings of individual mobile devices are not considered
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by transitioning from uniform frequency layer priorities applied network-wide to device-specific frequency layer priorities. Each mobile device receives customized frequency layer prioritization based on its unique TIS and TRP ratings, allowing the network to optimize communication performance for each device's specific radio characteristics while maintaining overall network management capability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by using TIS and TRP measurement results to dynamically adjust frequency layer priority assignments. The network server modifies the priority parameters of frequency layers based on measured radio performance metrics, enabling adaptive optimization of communication performance according to actual device capabilities rather than relying on static predefined configurations
2Reliability
If the network server calculates and compares TIS and TRP thresholds for each frequency layer, then device-specific communication performance is optimized, but system complexity increases due to additional measurement and comparison operations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by performing TIS and TRP measurements and calculations in advance before actual data transmission begins. The network server pre-calculates optimal frequency layer priorities based on measured device capabilities, so that when data transmission is needed, the device can immediately use the pre-determined optimal frequency layers without requiring complex real-time decision-making
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary by implementing a network server that acts as a mediator between the mobile device and the frequency layer selection process. The network server performs the complex TIS and TRP measurements, calculations, and threshold comparisons, relieving the mobile device of this computational burden while still enabling device-specific optimization through the server's centralized control and calculation capabilities

AI summary
Various implementations generally relate to systems and methods for utilizing TIS and TRP ratings of a mobile device to identify frequency layers to prefer or avoid. A network access node detects a first frequency layer being utilized by the mobile device and generates an output based on a comparison of a capability of the mobile device to a capability threshold of the first frequency layer. Based on the output, the network access node determines whether the capability of the mobile device satisfies the capability threshold of the first frequency layer. If the capability of the mobile device does not satisfy the capability threshold, the network access node causes the mobile device to stop using the first frequency layer for communicating on the telecommunications network.
