Mobile Terminal Time Slot Allocation for Call Link Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In remote areas or during idle network periods, network call delays occur due to inefficient use of bandwidth in data services, leading to inconvenient communication.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal system that monitors network time slot occupancy, designating a portion of idle time slots as dedicated for data communication and switching them to secondary slots when occupancy exceeds a threshold, thereby reducing delays and enhancing network efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If time slots are fixed for network calls, then call scheduling is simple, but network use efficiency is low and calls are delayed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making time slot allocation flexible rather than fixed. The system dynamically adjusts time slot assignments based on real-time occupancy rates, switching between dedicated time slots for data communication and traditional time slot sharing based on network conditions, thereby improving efficiency without permanent complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of time slot occupancy rate threshold to control system behavior. When occupancy rate is below the threshold, dedicated time slots are assigned for data communication; when above the threshold, traditional time slot sharing is used. This parameter-based control resolves the contradiction by adapting to different network states
2Productivity
If data services use network bandwidth during idle periods, then data communication can proceed, but voice calls experience time delay
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments time slots into two categories: dedicated time slots for data communication and traditional time slots for voice calls. This segmentation allows data services to use dedicated slots during low-occupancy periods without interfering with voice call timing, thereby eliminating time delay while maintaining data communication efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The patent ensures continuous useful action by maintaining dedicated time slots for data communication when occupancy rate is low, allowing uninterrupted data transmission. When occupancy rate increases, the system transitions to traditional time slot sharing, ensuring both data and voice services continue operating without significant delay
3Productivity
If dedicated time slots are assigned for data communication, then network use efficiency increases, but time slot management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback by continuously monitoring network occupancy rate and using this information to control time slot allocation. The system compares real-time occupancy data against a predetermined threshold and automatically adjusts time slot assignments accordingly, simplifying management through automated feedback-based control rather than complex manual configuration

AI summary
A mobile terminal-based call link switching and control method, comprising: a mobile terminal monitoring a network time slot occupancy; when the network time slot occupancy is lower than a preset threshold, dividing a preset number of time slots in the network and labeling same as first time slots, and labeling the remaining time slots as second time slots; and when performing data communication in the network, allocating one specialized time slot from the first time slots to be used only for the present communication, and when the present communication finishes, releasing the time slot.
