Wireless Transceiver Dynamic Allocation for Base Station Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Wireless communication apparatuses with multiple transceivers face challenges in efficiently switching between base stations due to resource constraints, as they are often fully allocated for carrier aggregation, preventing the use of transceivers to receive information from alternative base stations that offer better service quality.
Innovation Solution
A wireless communication apparatus and method that allows one transceiver to be selectively used to receive information from a second base station while maintaining communication with a primary base station, even when carrier aggregation is supported, by redistributing transceiver resources and utilizing autonomous measurement gaps to detect nearby base stations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If all transceivers are allocated for carrier aggregation to maximize communication bandwidth, then communication efficiency is improved, but the ability to detect and switch to alternative base stations is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent dynamically allocates transceiver resources by allowing at least one transceiver to be selectively switched between carrier aggregation operations and autonomous base station information reception. This dynamic allocation enables the system to adapt transceiver functionality based on whether handover conditions are met, resolving the contradiction between maintaining communication efficiency and preserving base station switching capability
Solution Approach 2:
The transceiver is designed to perform multiple functions: it can operate in carrier aggregation mode for high-speed communication or switch to autonomous reception mode for detecting alternative base stations. This multi-functionality allows a single transceiver configuration to satisfy both the need for communication efficiency and the need for adaptability in base station switching
2Quantity of substance
If multiple transceivers are used to aggregate non-continuous carriers in multiple wavebands, then communication bandwidth is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the transceiver operations into distinct functional modes: carrier aggregation mode for bandwidth optimization and autonomous reception mode for base station detection. By segmenting the operational modes rather than requiring separate physical transceivers for each function, the system achieves multi-band carrier aggregation capabilities while managing device complexity through functional segmentation
