Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication techniques, such as FDD and TDD, are not suitable for using selected bearer channels in certain situations, limiting the flexibility and independence of channel selection for wireless nodes.

Innovation Solution

The method involves establishing an adaptive channel for communication among wireless nodes, allowing individual nodes to independently select and notify neighbor nodes of bearer channels for communication, enabling flexible channel selection on a link-by-link or node-by-node basis.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If FDD or TDD techniques are used for channel selection, then communication between base station and remote node is established, but individual nodes cannot independently select bearer channels

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvechannel selection flexibilityVSAvoidchannel selection mechanism

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the channel selection process by allowing each node to independently select bearer channels for different links rather than requiring uniform channel selection across all nodes. Each node can choose different channels for upstream and downstream communications, enabling fine-grained control over channel allocation in the mesh network.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic channel selection where nodes can adaptively choose bearer channels based on current network conditions. The channel selection is not fixed but can change dynamically as nodes join, leave, or move within the mesh network, allowing each node to independently adjust its channel configuration.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If all nodes select identical bearer channels, then channel coordination is simplified, but communication flexibility and efficiency are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvechannel coordinationVSAvoidcommunication efficiency

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by allowing each node to select bearer channels independently according to its specific communication needs and network conditions. Instead of uniform channel selection, each node can optimize its channel choices for local communications, leading to improved overall network efficiency while maintaining manageable coordination through localized decision-making.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

3Device complexity

If nodes use fixed channel assignment, then channel management is simpler, but adaptability to changing network conditions is limited

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvechannel managementVSAvoidnetwork adaptability

Core Design Contradiction:

Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Using bearer channels for wireless nodes includes initiating communication among the wireless nodes that include a node and one or more neighbor nodes. An adaptive channel operable to communicate messages between the node and the neighbor nodes is established. One or more bearer channels are selected. The one or more neighbor nodes are notified of the one or more selected bearer channels using the adaptive channel. The node and the neighbor nodes communicate over the bearer channels.
