Supplemental Assignment Messages for Wireless Resource Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional wireless network systems face challenges in efficiently managing resource assignments, leading to high overhead costs and system burden due to frequent updates and reassignments, especially when user awareness of system resources is not required, and sticky assignments complicate instantaneous resource allocation.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for dynamically allocating system resources using supplemental assignments, which involve determining resource needs, generating supplemental assignment messages to allocate or de-allocate resources, and transmitting these messages to mobile devices, reducing the need for continuous updates and reassignments, and employing a supplemental component to manage resource allocation efficiently.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional resource assignment methods are used with frequent updates, then resource allocation accuracy is improved, but system overhead and transmission costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments resource assignment updates into two types: complete reassignment messages for initial allocation and supplemental assignment messages for incremental modifications. This segmentation allows the system to send only the necessary portion of assignment information, reducing overhead while maintaining allocation accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies partial action by transmitting only the supplemental portion of resource assignments rather than complete reassignments. When resources need to be modified, the system sends partial update messages that contain only the changed elements, thereby reducing transmission costs and system overhead while preserving allocation precision.
2Speed
If complete reassignment messages are transmitted frequently, then resource allocation responsiveness is improved, but transmission costs and system burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the necessary supplemental information from complete reassignment messages. By identifying and transmitting only the portions of assignment data that have changed or need updating, the system maintains responsive resource allocation while significantly reducing transmission energy costs and system burden.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs partial updates by sending only the minimal necessary assignment information rather than complete reassignments. This partial action approach maintains allocation responsiveness by quickly delivering needed updates while minimizing transmission costs through reduced message size and frequency.
3Loss of energy
If sticky assignments are used to reduce update frequency, then transmission costs are reduced, but instantaneous resource allocation flexibility deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamic supplemental assignment messages that can be transmitted at any time based on instantaneous resource needs. This dynamic approach allows the system to maintain low transmission costs through reduced update frequency while preserving allocation flexibility by enabling on-demand supplemental assignments when conditions change.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses periodic supplemental assignments triggered by resource availability changes or user needs rather than strict time intervals. This periodic action maintains cost efficiency by reducing update frequency while preserving flexibility through event-driven updates that respond to instantaneous conditions.
4Device complexity
If constrained assignment messages are used to reduce overhead, then assignment expense is reduced, but assignment adaptability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments assignment messages into constrained supplemental updates for routine modifications and complete reassignment messages for significant changes. This segmentation reduces overhead for common operations while preserving adaptability for complex allocation scenarios by allowing full reassignments when needed.

AI summary
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate dynamically supplementing or decrementing resource assignments to mobile devices in a wireless network environment without requiring transmission of replacement assignments. Supplemental assignments can be generated based on information related to mobile device need and resource availability. Moreover, resource assignments can be persisted for a mobile device.
