Multi-Layer Protocol Selection for Multi-Standard Wireless Communication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The standardization of communication standards in wireless communication systems, particularly in the transition from 5G to next-generation technologies like B5G and 6G, results in lengthy development periods and increased costs due to the need for individual development of communication devices to accommodate changing protocol configurations, leading to difficulties in optimizing communication characteristics across multiple devices and areas.
Innovation Solution
A communication device equipped with multiple wireless communication layers compliant with different standards, allowing for dynamic selection and control of these layers based on compatibility with other devices, enabling efficient communication by supporting only necessary layers for the next-generation standard, thereby reducing development time and costs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If communication devices are individually developed for each generation to respond to protocol configuration changes, then communication characteristics are optimized for each generation, but construction period becomes lengthy and development cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic protocol configuration where the controller selectively activates or deactivates specific protocol layers (first protocol stack or second protocol stack) based on communication status changes. This allows the communication device to adapt its protocol configuration in real-time without requiring complete re-development for each generation, thereby reducing construction period while maintaining optimized communication characteristics.
2Reliability
If communication devices are individually developed for each generation to respond to protocol configuration changes, then communication characteristics are optimized for each generation, but development cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal communication device architecture that can operate with multiple protocol configurations (first protocol stack and second protocol stack) within a single device. The controller dynamically selects which protocol stack to use based on communication status, allowing one device to serve multiple generation requirements without requiring separate development for each generation, thereby reducing development cost while maintaining optimized communication characteristics.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple communication layers are supported for next-generation standard, then adaptability to different standards is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic protocol configuration where the controller selectively activates or deactivates specific protocol layers (first protocol stack or second protocol stack) based on communication status changes. This allows the communication device to adapt its protocol configuration in real-time without requiring complete re-development for each generation, thereby reducing construction period while maintaining optimized communication characteristics.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts and separates different protocol stacks (first protocol stack and second protocol stack) as distinct functional modules that can be independently controlled. The controller can selectively activate only the necessary protocol stack based on communication status, avoiding the need to maintain and manage all protocol layers simultaneously, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining multi-generation adaptability.
4Adaptability or versatility
If protocol configurations are changed with each communication generation, then communication standards are updated, but construction period becomes lengthy
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic protocol configuration where the controller selectively activates or deactivates specific protocol layers (first protocol stack or second protocol stack) based on communication status changes. This allows the communication device to adapt its protocol configuration in real-time without requiring complete re-development for each generation, thereby reducing construction period while maintaining optimized communication characteristics.
