Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication systems struggle to support a large number of mobile stations simultaneously due to limitations in radio resource scheduling, which hampers the capacity and throughput of the system.
Innovation Solution
A radio resource scheduling method that generates and reports format information and resource allocation information to multiple mobile stations, allowing for flexible extension of resource allocation, enabling the radio base station to support more mobile stations by specifying different formats based on the number of stations, thereby optimizing resource usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If the radio base station uses conventional resource allocation methods, then the system can support a limited number of mobile stations, but the capacity and throughput of the communication system are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the resource allocation information into multiple parts: format information (indicating the number of mobile stations) and resource allocation information (specific resource assignments). This segmentation allows the system to efficiently handle variable numbers of mobile stations by transmitting only the necessary information, thereby increasing the number of supported mobile stations while maintaining system capacity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic resource allocation where the format information can be changed based on the current number of mobile stations requiring service. The base station dynamically adjusts the format information to reflect the actual number of mobile stations (1-8), enabling flexible adaptation to varying system conditions and maximizing the number of simultaneously supported mobile stations
2Quantity of substance
If the radio base station increases the number of simultaneously served mobile stations, then the system capacity is enhanced, but the complexity of resource management increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal resource allocation framework that can handle 1 to 8 mobile stations using a single standardized mechanism. The format information serves multiple functions: indicating the number of mobile stations, defining the structure of resource allocation information, and enabling efficient transmission. This multi-functionality reduces the complexity that would otherwise arise from implementing separate mechanisms for each possible number of mobile stations
Solution Approach 2:
The format information acts as an intermediary between the base station's resource management needs and the mobile stations. It provides a compact representation that conveys essential information about the number of mobile stations and the structure of their resource allocations, simplifying the overall resource management complexity while enabling support for multiple mobile stations
