Wireless Access Point Channel Reconfiguration for Throughput
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless network systems face decreased transmission performance due to the heavy load on single transmission channels when the number of connected devices exceeds the capacity of wireless stations or repeaters, leading to reduced data throughput.
Innovation Solution
A network communication device with a transceiver circuit and controller that reconfigures transmission channels into multiple independent channels based on the connection ability of electronic devices, allowing for efficient data transfer across multiple antennas.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a single transmission channel is used between the wireless station and the repeater, then the device complexity is reduced, but the data throughput decreases when the load is heavy or the number of connected devices is large
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides a single transmission channel into multiple independent channels (first channel, second channel, third channel, fourth channel) to handle multiple connected devices simultaneously. Each channel can independently transmit data, thereby increasing overall data throughput while maintaining manageable complexity through structured channel management
2Productivity
If multiple independent channels are established for each connected device, then the data throughput increases, but the device complexity and channel management burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates multiple channels that can serve different functions: some channels are dedicated for internet access while others are for local area network communication. This multi-functionality allows the system to handle diverse communication needs simultaneously, improving productivity without proportionally increasing management complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The channel configuration is dynamically adjusted based on the number of connected devices and their antenna capabilities. The system can reconfigure channels adaptively - for example, when a device with fewer antennas connects, the system adjusts the channel allocation to match the device's capacity, optimizing resource utilization while maintaining manageable complexity

AI summary
A network communication device includes a transceiver circuit and a controller. The transceiver circuit is configured to transmit or receive data via a plurality of antennas. The controller is coupled to the transceiver circuit, and the controller is configured to control the transceiver circuit to establish a transmission channel to provide a connection to a first electronic device. If a number of antennas of the first electronic device is less than a number of the plurality of antennas, the controller is configured to reconfigure the transmission channel as multiple channels, in order to provide the connection to the first electronic device via a first channel of the multiple channels, and the first channel corresponds to at least one first antenna of the plurality of antennas.
