Mobile Station Transmission Power Control for Multi-Base Station Coordination
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In communication systems with multiple base stations, independent uplink scheduling control can lead to excessive transmission power management challenges, particularly when multiple base stations simultaneously allocate resources, exceeding the terminal's maximum transmission power capacity.
Innovation Solution
A communication system where a mobile station apparatus communicates with both a macro base station and small base stations using different frequency bands, with a control unit that adjusts individual transmission powers based on both communications to manage and reduce the total transmission power, preventing it from exceeding the maximum value.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple base stations independently execute uplink scheduling control, then resource allocation flexibility is improved, but transmission power management deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a coordination mechanism as an intermediary between multiple base stations. The coordination mechanism receives resource allocation information from multiple base stations, calculates the total transmission power required, and provides feedback to adjust resource allocations. This mediator resolves the conflict by enabling independent scheduling while maintaining power constraints through centralized coordination.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback loop where the coordination mechanism monitors the total transmission power across multiple base stations and sends adjustment commands back to the base stations. When the sum of transmission powers approaches the terminal's maximum capacity, the coordination mechanism reduces resource allocations for lower-priority base stations, ensuring power management reliability while preserving scheduling flexibility.
2Productivity
If multiple base stations simultaneously allocate uplink resources, then communication capacity is improved, but transmission power exceeds maximum value
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating resource allocation strategies based on priority levels. High-priority base stations receive resource allocations that maintain their communication capacity, while low-priority base stations have their allocations adjusted when power constraints are approached. This selective differentiation preserves overall communication capacity while ensuring power management.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent allows temporary excessive resource allocation to high-priority base stations when power headroom is available, while maintaining conservative allocations for low-priority base stations. The coordination mechanism dynamically adjusts allocations based on real-time power conditions, enabling partial over-provisioning for critical communications while preventing sustained excessive power consumption.

AI summary
A mobile station device is provided with a communication unit for simultaneously executing a first communication with a first base station device executed over a first frequency band, and a second communication with a second base station that differs from the first base station apparatus over a second frequency band that differs from the first frequency band, and a control unit for adjusting individual ones of a first transmission power and second transmission power on the basis of both the first transmission power, which is used for the first communication, and the second transmission power, which is used for the second communication.
