Wearable Communication Resource Access via Handheld Mediation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wearable devices face challenges with overly complex structures and large sizes due to the need to directly acquire communication resources from base stations, which is inefficient for their small and intermittent data transmission requirements.
Innovation Solution
A method where a handheld user equipment assists a wearable device in acquiring communication resources by establishing a binding connection through near-field communication, allowing the handheld device to allocate and manage communication resources on behalf of the wearable device, reducing control signaling overhead and complexity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the wearable device directly acquires communication resources from the base station, then the communication resource acquisition is independent and reliable, but the device structure becomes overly complex and large in size
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a handheld user equipment as an intermediary between the wearable device and the base station. The handheld device assists the wearable device in acquiring communication resources by receiving resource allocation information from the base station and forwarding it to the wearable device, thereby simplifying the wearable device's structure while maintaining reliable communication resource acquisition.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the wearable device directly acquires communication resources from the base station, then the communication is independent, but the control signaling overhead is large
Solution Approach 1:
The handheld user equipment serves as a mediator that reduces control signaling overhead. Instead of the wearable device directly interacting with the base station for resource allocation, the handheld device facilitates this process by receiving allocation information from the base station and transmitting it to the wearable device, thereby reducing the signaling burden on the wearable device.
3Productivity
If the wearable device uses reduced RX and bandwidth as per NR-Light characteristics, then the device is optimized for specific scenarios, but the device processing capacity is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent leverages the handheld user equipment's superior processing capacity to compensate for the wearable device's reduced capabilities. The handheld device performs complex tasks such as receiving resource allocation information from the base station, processing control signals, and forwarding them to the wearable device, thereby enabling the wearable device to maintain high communication efficiency in specific scenarios without requiring high processing capacity.
