Wireless Resource Grouping for Satellite Link Efficiency
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current data networks are inefficient in handling high volumes of low-bandwidth devices, leading to low useful-to-useless data ratios, especially in uncoordinated environments like GPS tracking.
Innovation Solution
Divide available wireless communication resources into groups and allocate these groups to wireless devices based on their characteristics, such as time sensitivity, allowing devices to autonomously assign datums to the appropriate groups for efficient communication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If wireless devices communicate in an uncoordinated environment, then device autonomy and ease of operation are improved, but network resource efficiency and productivity deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments wireless communication resources into multiple groups (e.g., Group 0, Group 1, Group 2) based on traffic characteristics such as time sensitivity. Each group is assigned specific time slots or frequency resources, allowing devices to autonomously select appropriate groups for their data transmissions without complex coordination, thereby maintaining ease of operation while improving network efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of resource allocation from centralized dynamic assignment to static group-based allocation. By pre-defining resource groups with specific characteristics (e.g., delay-tolerant vs. delay-sensitive traffic groups), the system enables autonomous device operation while ensuring efficient resource utilization through parameterized resource categorization
2Productivity
If wireless communication resources are divided into multiple groups and allocated to devices, then resource allocation efficiency and productivity are improved, but device complexity and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-dividing wireless resources into groups before actual data transmission occurs. Resource groups are predefined with specific characteristics (e.g., time slots for delay-tolerant traffic, frequency bands for delay-sensitive traffic), allowing devices to simply select appropriate groups based on their data characteristics without performing complex real-time resource management
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables self-service by allowing wireless devices to autonomously assign their datums to appropriate resource groups based on simple characteristics of the data (e.g., time sensitivity). The device itself performs the allocation decision without requiring complex centralized coordination or sophisticated device-side resource management algorithms

AI summary
Apparatuses, methods, and systems for wireless communication are disclosed. One method includes dividing available wireless communications resources into a plurality of groups, connecting, by a wireless device, to a base station through a wireless satellite link, allocating, by the base station, a set of the plurality of groups to the wireless device, receiving, by the wireless device, a datum from a data source, assigning, by the wireless device, the datum to one or more of the allocated groups based on characteristics of the datum, and wirelessly communicating, by the wireless device, the datum to the base station according to the assigned one of the plurality of groups.
