Uplink Access Probability Control for Wireless Collision Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for controlling uplink access in wireless communication systems, such as SDMA, face inefficiencies due to high resource consumption and increased computational complexity as the number of user equipment (UEs) increases, leading to time delays and collisions.
Innovation Solution
A method where each UE generates an access probability sequence for data transmission, adjusts it based on success/failure results, and regulates access probabilities to minimize collisions, allowing UEs with high channel correlation to access the channel at different times, thereby improving data transmission efficiency.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the base station groups UEs capable of simultaneous channel access using channel information, then channel access efficiency is improved, but resource consumption and computational complexity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
Each UE independently determines its own access probability and makes autonomous access decisions without requiring the base station to perform complex grouping calculations. The UE self-regulates its access behavior based on channel correlation metrics and observed collision patterns, eliminating the need for centralized UE grouping computations at the base station.
Solution Approach 2:
The access control function is extracted from the base station and relocated to individual UEs. Instead of the base station maintaining and processing channel information for all UEs to perform grouping, each UE extracts relevant channel correlation information independently and uses it to determine its own access probability, reducing the base station's computational burden.
2Productivity
If the base station reports UE groups through downlink to each UE, then access coordination is improved, but resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
UEs autonomously determine their access probabilities based on local channel correlation measurements without requiring the base station to compute and transmit grouping information. Each UE independently calculates channel correlation metrics with other UEs and adjusts its own access probability accordingly, eliminating the need for downlink grouping reports.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of the base station providing complete grouping information to all UEs through resource-intensive downlink reports, each UE performs partial computations locally to determine its own access probability. This partial action at the UE level replaces the excessive resource consumption of centralized grouping and reporting.
3Ease of operation
If UEs perform random access without access probability control, then access simplicity is maintained, but collision probability increases
Solution Approach 1:
The access probability parameter is introduced to modulate the random access behavior of UEs. Instead of uniform random access, each UE adjusts its access probability based on channel correlation metrics and observed collision patterns, dynamically changing the access parameter to reduce collisions while maintaining the simplicity of random access mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
UEs monitor access outcomes (successful transmissions vs. collisions) and use this feedback to adjust their access probabilities. When collisions are detected, UEs reduce their access probability; when access is successful, they may increase or maintain it. This feedback mechanism reduces collisions while preserving the simplicity of random access.

AI summary
A method of controlling uplink access in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes: generating an access probability sequence consisting of an access probability determined with respect to a radio resource used for data transmission; transmitting data according to the access probability included in the access probability sequence; receiving a success/failure result on the data transmission; and regulating the access probability used in the data transmission according to the success/failure result. Accordingly, each user equipment performs a simple control process for attempting random uplink access according to an access probability sequence and for changing the access probability sequence according to success/failure of uplink data transmission, thereby decreasing a probability of collision between user equipments, thereby increasing data transmission efficiency in a system employing a plurality of user equipments.
