Dynamic TDD Frame Ratio Control for Subscriber Lines

The patent implements dynamic adjustment of the DS/US ratio by allowing individual lines to transition between active and discontinued states independently, enabling the system to adapt to changing traffic conditions without requiring full reinitialization. The communication controller dynamically determines whether to discontinue or activate lines based on current traffic measurements, making the system flexible and responsive while maintaining service continuity.

The patent segments the set of subscriber lines into multiple groups (first plurality and second plurality) that can be independently controlled. By dividing the lines and allowing independent discontinuation or activation of specific groups, the system can adjust the DS/US ratio for different traffic patterns without affecting all lines simultaneously, thus avoiding service disruption while maintaining adaptability.

The system dynamically adjusts the operational state of individual lines based on real-time traffic measurements. When traffic demand is low on a particular line, the communication controller discontinues that line to save power. When traffic demand increases, the controller activates the line again, ensuring data rates are maintained when needed. This dynamic approach allows the system to optimize power consumption without permanently sacrificing productivity.

The patent changes the operational parameters of subscriber lines by transitioning them between active and discontinued states based on traffic conditions. This parameter change allows the system to reduce power consumption during low-traffic periods while maintaining full data rates during high-traffic periods, effectively balancing energy efficiency and productivity requirements.
