Trigger-Based Resource Adaptive Transmission in Wireless LAN
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current WLAN systems face challenges in implementing efficient resource adaptive transmission operations, particularly in trigger-based transmission scenarios, where existing methods lack flexibility and resource utilization efficiency.
Innovation Solution
The method involves a station (STA) receiving trigger information from an access point (AP) for a first resource region and transmitting a trigger-based Physical Layer Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) on a second resource region, which can be a part of or distinct from the first region, based on the AP's specific capabilities, allowing for adaptive resource allocation and puncturing of unavailable regions.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If trigger-based transmission is implemented with fixed resource allocation, then transmission reliability is improved, but resource utilization efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic resource allocation by allowing the second resource region to be adaptively determined based on AP capability information. The resource region for TB PPDU transmission is not fixed but dynamically adjusted according to the AP's capabilities, enabling the system to optimize resource utilization while maintaining transmission reliability through trigger-based scheduling.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of resource region allocation by introducing capability-based adaptation. The second resource region is determined based on AP capability information, which allows the system to modify resource allocation parameters dynamically. This enables efficient resource utilization by matching the actual capabilities of the AP with the allocated resources.
2Productivity
If resource allocation is made flexible based on AP capabilities, then resource utilization efficiency is improved, but transmission complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs feedback mechanisms where the AP provides capability information to the STA, which then uses this feedback to determine the appropriate second resource region for TB PPDU transmission. This feedback loop enables flexible resource allocation based on actual AP capabilities while managing complexity through structured information exchange between AP and STA.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by having the AP provide capability information in advance before the actual TB PPDU transmission. This allows the STA to pre-determine the appropriate second resource region based on the AP's capabilities, reducing the complexity of real-time decision-making and enabling efficient resource utilization through advance preparation.
3Reliability
If the second resource region is restricted to be a subset of the first resource region, then transmission reliability is improved, but adaptability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by allowing different parts of the resource region to have different characteristics. The first resource region is allocated based on initial trigger information, while the second resource region is selectively determined based on AP capability information. This enables certain portions of the resource spectrum to be optimized for reliability while other portions maintain adaptability, depending on the specific capabilities of the AP.
