Solution Overview

Problem

As the number of applications on radio communication devices increases, stable communication becomes challenging due to resource competition, where a specific application occupying many resources can hinder others from securing sufficient communication resources, leading to unstable performance in radio communication systems.

Innovation Solution

A radio communication device with an application execution unit, communication unit, and occupancy rate determination unit that counts and compares transmission and reception data IDs to determine communication resource usage ratios, adjusting communication frequencies to ensure stable communication by managing resource allocation among applications.

1Adaptability or versatility

If the number of applications on radio communication devices is increased, then the functionality and versatility of the system is improved, but communication stability deteriorates due to resource competition

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of applicationsVSAvoidcommunication stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic communication resource allocation by monitoring transmission and reception data volumes for each application in real-time. The system adjusts communication parameters adaptively based on current resource usage patterns, allowing the radio communication device to maintain stable performance even as the number of applications varies. This dynamic adjustment mechanism enables the system to respond to changing conditions rather than relying on fixed allocation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes communication parameters such as transmission frequency, data rate, and resource allocation based on monitored occupancy rates. By detecting when an application occupies excessive communication resources and adjusting parameters accordingly, the system maintains balance among multiple applications. This parameter adjustment allows the system to support increased application diversity while preserving communication stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If a specific application occupies many communication resources, then the performance of that application is improved, but other applications cannot secure sufficient communication resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication performanceVSAvoidresource sufficiency for all applications
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a feedback mechanism where the radio communication device continuously monitors transmission and reception data volumes for each application. When an application's resource usage exceeds a predetermined threshold, the system detects this condition and adjusts that application's communication parameters to reduce its occupancy rate. This feedback loop ensures that no single application can monopolize resources, maintaining sufficient communication capacity for all applications while preserving overall system productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If communication resource allocation is adjusted dynamically, then communication stability is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication stabilityVSAvoidresource management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments communication resource management by application, tracking transmission and reception data volumes separately for each application. This segmentation allows the system to identify which specific applications are consuming excessive resources and apply adjustments targeted to those applications rather than managing all applications uniformly. This segmented approach simplifies the complexity by creating modular, application-specific management units while maintaining overall communication stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
