Solution Overview

Problem

Current mobile terminals struggle to meet data transmission requirements when communicating with non-terrestrial devices, especially in scenarios requiring high transmission rates for large data volumes, as they typically connect to a single device with limited bandwidth.

Innovation Solution

A mobile terminal that supports multiple frequency bands and channels, enabling simultaneous communication with multiple non-terrestrial devices based on data volume, using a control chip to process and transmit data through transmission channels, and selecting target devices from a plurality of initially selected non-terrestrial devices to optimize data transmission.

1Productivity

If a mobile terminal communicates with a single non-terrestrial device, then the connection is simple and stable, but the data transmission rate is limited and cannot meet high transmission rate requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission rateVSAvoidcommunication connection complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple non-terrestrial communication links into a single integrated communication system. The mobile terminal simultaneously connects to multiple non-terrestrial devices (satellites or airborne vehicles) and merges their transmission capabilities through a connection management mechanism, allowing data to be transmitted through multiple paths concurrently to achieve aggregate high transmission rates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from single-link communication to multi-link communication by adding the dimension of multiple simultaneous connections. The system manages multiple non-terrestrial devices across different frequency bands and orbital positions, effectively moving from one-dimensional (single device) to multi-dimensional (multiple devices) communication architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Productivity

If a mobile terminal connects to multiple non-terrestrial devices simultaneously, then the data transmission rate increases, but the connection management complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission rateVSAvoidconnection management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The connection management mechanism operates autonomously to handle multiple non-terrestrial connections. The system automatically selects appropriate non-terrestrial devices based on signal quality and availability, dynamically adjusts connections without user intervention, and manages the complexity of multiple links through self-organizing protocols, thereby reducing operational burden despite increased connectivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If the mobile terminal uses multiple frequency bands for communication, then the transmission reliability improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission reliabilityVSAvoidfrequency band management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mobile terminal is designed with universal communication capability that supports multiple frequency bands (e.g., L-band, S-band, C-band, Ku-band, Ka-band) through a unified communication architecture. The same terminal hardware and software framework can operate across all these bands, allowing the system to select appropriate bands for different scenarios without requiring separate specialized devices for each frequency range.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
