Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional wireless devices with collocated transceivers face inefficiencies due to unnecessary transmit and receive operations, particularly in devices with smaller form factors and lower power constraints, leading to wasted energy and inefficient medium allocation.
Innovation Solution
Leveraging latency parameters and estimated connection metrics to dynamically identify anchor points that can be skipped, thereby reducing unnecessary polling and null operations in transceivers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If conventional techniques are used for handling collocated wireless radios, then wireless communication can be established, but transmission time and power are wasted on unnecessary transmit and receive operations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic coexistence management by continuously monitoring channel conditions and adjusting transmit/receive operations in real-time. The system dynamically determines when to skip unnecessary operations based on current wireless medium status, transforming static conventional techniques into adaptive dynamic control that optimizes power consumption while maintaining communication effectiveness
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes operational parameters by modifying transmit/receive timing and duration based on detected channel conditions. By adjusting these parameters dynamically, the system eliminates wasted power on unnecessary operations while maintaining effective communication, directly addressing the contradiction between power loss and transmission efficiency
2Productivity
If conventional techniques are used for handling collocated wireless radios, then wireless communication can be established, but transmission medium allocation is inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms that monitor wireless medium usage and channel conditions, then use this information to optimize subsequent transmit/receive operations. This feedback loop enables the system to identify and eliminate unnecessary operations, improving transmission efficiency while reducing time waste through continuous adaptation to actual medium allocation needs
3Reliability
If polling and null operations are performed frequently in collocated transceivers, then connection maintenance is ensured, but unnecessary operations waste energy and medium allocation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by performing polling and null operations only when necessary based on detected connection conditions. Instead of executing these operations frequently and unconditionally, the system performs them partially or selectively, maintaining connection reliability while eliminating excessive power consumption from unnecessary operations

AI summary
Systems, methods, and devices implement coexistence enhancement for collocated wireless transceivers. Methods include determining, using a processing device, a latency parameter associated with a wireless device comprising a first transceiver compatible with a first communications protocol and a second transceiver compatible with a second communications protocol. Methods also include identifying, using the processing device, a number of anchor points based, at least in part, on the latency parameter, each of the anchor points representing a periodic connection event for the second transceiver. Methods further include updating a radio frequency (RF) active signal to skip at least one transmit operation and receive operation of the second transceiver based on the identified number of anchor points.
