Wireless Terminal Resource Allocation via Coding Rate Monitoring

The patent implements dynamic resource allocation by switching between a first periodic resource and a second periodic resource based on coding rate conditions. When the coding rate is below the maximum threshold, the first periodic resource is used for efficient transmission; when the coding rate exceeds the threshold, the system dynamically switches to the second periodic resource, ensuring both transmission efficiency and reliable resource utilization under varying channel conditions.

The patent changes the resource allocation parameter (periodic resource selection) based on the coding rate parameter. By monitoring the coding rate and comparing it against the maximum configured rate, the system adjusts the resource allocation strategy - using the first periodic resource for normal conditions and switching to the second periodic resource when coding rate constraints are violated, thereby optimizing both efficiency and reliability.

The patent employs periodic resource allocation where terminals are assigned periodic resources for direct communication only when needed. By using periodic rather than continuous resource allocation, the system maintains service availability when direct communication is required while allowing terminals to enter low-power states during periods when direct communication is not active, thereby reducing overall power consumption.

The patent enables terminals to autonomously determine when to use direct communication resources based on coding rate conditions and service requirements. This self-service mechanism allows terminals to activate direct communication resources only when necessary for efficient data transmission, avoiding unnecessary power consumption while maintaining service availability when needed.
