Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless communication devices face limitations in dynamically managing resources between independent and concurrency modes, leading to suboptimal throughput and inefficient use of modem capabilities due to static envelope negotiations with networks.
Innovation Solution
A wireless communication device that determines a switch between independent and concurrency modes and sends a communication capability signal to a base station, adjusting resource communication capabilities to optimize performance by throttling up or down resources based on service requirements, using channel quality indicators and rank indicators to inform the network of available resources.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If static envelope negotiations are used with networks, then device complexity is reduced, but throughput and resource utilization deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic capability management that allows the wireless communication device to adjust its resource envelope based on real-time operating conditions. The device transitions between independent mode (single service) and concurrency mode (multiple services), dynamically negotiating capability signals with the network to optimize throughput while managing complexity through automated mode switching.
2Adaptability or versatility
If concurrency mode is activated to support multiple services, then service capability increases, but resource availability for individual services deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the capability parameters communicated to the network based on the operating mode. In concurrency mode, the device sends capability signals indicating reduced resource availability for individual services, while in independent mode, it signals full resource availability. This parameter adjustment resolves the contradiction by matching resource indication to actual allocation.
3Productivity
If dynamic capability management is implemented, then throughput is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs feedback mechanisms where the device monitors its operating mode (independent or concurrency) and automatically adjusts capability signals sent to the network accordingly. This closed-loop approach improves throughput through dynamic adaptation while managing complexity via automated decision-making based on mode detection.
4Adaptability or versatility
If resource throttling is applied to support concurrency, then service versatility improves, but communication capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by proactively notifying the network of resource availability changes before actual resource allocation occurs. When transitioning to concurrency mode, the device sends capability signals in advance indicating reduced resources, allowing the network to pre-adjust scheduling and maintain communication reliability despite resource throttling.
