Radio Event Sequencing for Multi-Carrier Receiver TCU
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile devices adapted for Downlink Dual Carrier (DLDC) technology face challenges in managing and processing data from two radios, as existing timing control units (TCUs) are designed to handle only a single stream of radio events, leading to inefficiencies in data handling and prioritization.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for sequencing radio events in mobile devices with two or more radios, where a processor collects, sorts, and optimizes radio events based on priority, using optimization rules to ensure that higher priority events are executed first, and redundant events are removed, allowing a single TCU to manage multiple radios effectively.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single TCU is used to control multiple radios in DLDC, then device complexity is reduced, but the TCU cannot naturally handle multiple streams of radio events simultaneously
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by collecting and sorting radio events from multiple radios into a prioritized sequence before they are processed by the TCU. The processor pre-processes events from both radios, organizing them in priority order, so that the single TCU receives a single streamlined sequence of events it can execute without needing to handle multiple simultaneous streams.
2Reliability
If radio events from multiple radios are processed without optimization, then all events are handled, but processing load and redundancy increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by introducing an optimization stage that modifies the radio event sequence based on priority parameters and timing relationships. The processor analyzes events from multiple radios, identifies redundant or lower-priority events, and resequences them to optimize processing efficiency while maintaining reliable handling of all necessary events.
3Quantity of substance
If all radio events are loaded onto the TCU without sorting, then no processing is lost, but priority-based execution cannot be achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing radio events from multiple radios into separate event streams, then segmenting each stream into priority levels. The processor organizes events into distinct priority categories and sequences them accordingly, allowing the single TCU to execute events in the correct priority order while maintaining complete event coverage.

AI summary
A system and method are provided for sequencing radio events in a mobile device with a multi downlink multi carrier receiver. In the mobile device, there is a processor (102) in communication with a timing control unit (TCU), whereby the TCU (150) is in communication with two or more radios (14 and 16). The processor collects one or more radio events corresponding to the two or more radios and then sorts the radio events from highest priority to lowest priority to form a sorted list. The processor then loads the sorted list, beginning with a highest priority radio event, onto the TCU.
