Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless communication techniques face limitations in capacity, access performance, and throughput due to inefficient use of available bandwidth and antenna resources.
Innovation Solution
The method involves dividing OFDM bandwidth into sub-channels, dynamically defining regions for antenna mapping, and selecting appropriate antenna configurations such as MIMO, STTD, and SM mappings based on receiver capabilities, along with adaptive coding and modulation techniques to enhance transmission efficiency.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional wireless communication techniques are used, then system simplicity is maintained, but capacity, access performance, and throughput are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The available OFDM bandwidth is divided into multiple sub-channels, and the time resource is divided into multiple regions. Each sub-channel can be independently allocated to different users or antenna mappings, enabling fine-grained resource management and improved throughput without overwhelming system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic resource allocation where antenna mappings and sub-channel assignments are determined based on real-time channel conditions and receiver capabilities. The system can switch between different antenna mappings (MIMO, STTD, SM) dynamically to optimize performance while adapting to changing network conditions
2Productivity
If multiple antenna mappings are implemented, then capacity and performance are enhanced, but mapping selection complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the parameter of antenna mapping configuration based on receiver capabilities and channel conditions. Different antenna mappings (MIMO for high capacity, STTD for diversity, SM for spatial multiplexing) are selected by adjusting the mapping type parameter, enabling capacity enhancement without requiring complex selection algorithms
Solution Approach 2:
The patent defines a universal framework that supports multiple antenna mappings within a single system architecture. The same resource allocation mechanism can accommodate different mapping types (MIMO, STTD, SM, SISO), making the system multi-functional and reducing the need for separate complex selection logic for each mapping type
3Productivity
If dynamic region definition is used, then resource allocation efficiency is improved, but processing overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The time resource is segmented into multiple regions with different numbers of OFDM symbols, and each region is independently allocated to different antenna mappings. This segmentation allows for parallel processing and reduces the complexity of dynamic allocation decisions, improving resource allocation efficiency without proportionally increasing processing overhead
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs dynamic region definition and allocation only when necessary, rather than continuously. By using partial action (updating only changed parameters) and excessive action (pre-defining multiple regions in advance), the patent reduces processing overhead while maintaining high resource allocation efficiency
