Wireless Access Point Dynamic Resource Allocation for Relays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Wireless access points in communication networks do not effectively and efficiently assign data thresholds and wireless resources to wireless relays, leading to suboptimal data throughput and resource utilization in Radio Access Networks (RAN).
Innovation Solution
A wireless access point determines the buffer status and device load of relays, assigning Carrier Aggregation (CA) Secondary Component Carriers and data thresholds based on these metrics to optimize resource allocation and data exchange within the established data thresholds.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If wireless access points use fixed resource allocation to wireless relays, then device complexity is reduced, but data throughput and resource utilization are suboptimal
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic resource allocation where the access point continuously monitors relay buffer status and device load, then adjusts CA SCC assignments and data thresholds in real-time. This dynamic approach allows the system to adapt to changing network conditions, optimizing data throughput while managing complexity through automated control loops.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes key parameters including data thresholds and CA SCC assignments based on measured buffer status and device load. By varying these parameters dynamically, the access point optimizes resource utilization across different relay conditions without requiring complex manual configuration.
2Productivity
If wireless access points assign more wireless resources to relays, then data throughput improves, but resource utilization efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The access point implements feedback mechanisms by monitoring relay buffer status and device load metrics, then using this information to adjust resource allocations. This closed-loop feedback ensures resources are assigned efficiently based on actual demand, preventing both underutilization and wasteful over-provisioning of wireless resources.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies different resource allocation strategies to different relays based on their individual buffer status and device load characteristics. Each relay receives customized CA SCC assignments and data thresholds tailored to its specific conditions, optimizing both throughput and resource utilization efficiency locally across the network.
