Wireless Interference Simulation Using Virtual UEs and Base Stations

The patent creates virtual copies of base stations and user equipment that run on general-purpose computing devices. Instead of requiring physical shielded rooms and dedicated hardware, the system uses software-based virtual instances that replicate wireless network behavior, thereby eliminating the need for complex physical infrastructure while maintaining simulation capabilities.

The patent replaces the mechanical/physical system of shielded rooms and dedicated hardware with a software-based virtualization system. The simulation environment is created through software that models wireless channel conditions and interference, substituting physical isolation mechanisms with computational models that achieve the same isolation and control objectives.

The patent segments the simulation system into multiple independent virtual base stations and user equipment instances that can run in parallel on multi-core processors. This segmentation allows the system to utilize all available computing resources simultaneously, achieving linear or near-linear scaling of simulation capacity with hardware resources, thereby maintaining high speed while using general-purpose devices.

The patent implements channel condition information storage and reuse mechanisms where channel characteristics are pre-calculated or pre-measured and stored for later simulation use. This preliminary action eliminates the need for real-time complex calculations during simulation, significantly improving simulation speed while maintaining accuracy.

The patent creates a universal simulation platform that can model any wireless network configuration, topology, or scenario through software configuration rather than requiring dedicated hardware for each scenario. The same virtualized infrastructure can simulate different numbers of base stations, various user equipment types, and diverse channel conditions, achieving maximum adaptability with a single multi-functional system.

The patent implements resource allocation strategies where computational resources are dynamically allocated to active virtual instances and released when not needed. The system can spawn and terminate virtual base stations and user equipment as required by the simulation scenario, recovering computational resources for reuse rather than maintaining constant resource allocation, thereby reducing overall resource consumption while maintaining high adaptability.
