Wireless Resource Allocation via Adaptive Frequency Hopping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In wireless communication systems, especially OFDMA systems, resource allocation efficiency is hindered by the unavailability of frequency selective scheduling for high-speed mobile stations due to rapid channel state changes, and the sole use of frequency hopping does not enhance resource efficiency.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a combined resource allocation method that incorporates frequency selective resource application, frequency hopping, and Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) technology, using sub-band and global hopping sequences to dynamically allocate resources based on hopping parameters, ensuring efficient data transmission.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If frequency selective scheduling is used to allocate resources based on channel state, then resource allocation efficiency is improved for stationary or low-speed users, but it becomes unavailable for high-speed mobile stations due to rapid channel state changes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the resource allocation scheme adaptive to user mobility conditions. The system dynamically switches between frequency selective scheduling (for low-speed users with stable channels) and frequency hopping (for high-speed users with rapidly changing channels). This dynamic adaptation allows the system to maintain resource allocation efficiency across different mobility scenarios, resolving the contradiction between optimization for stationary users and applicability to mobile users.
2Adaptability or versatility
If frequency hopping is used alone for resource allocation, then adaptability to mobile stations is improved, but resource efficiency does not get enhanced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges two resource allocation schemes: frequency selective scheduling and frequency hopping. Instead of using either one alone, the system combines them by allowing frequency selective scheduling to operate within each frequency hop interval. This merging enables the system to benefit from both approaches: frequency hopping provides adaptability to mobile stations, while frequency selective scheduling maintains resource efficiency by allocating resources based on instantaneous channel conditions within each hop.
3Stability of the object's composition
If resources are continuously allocated to specific frequency bands for data transmission, then data transmission stability is improved, but the system cannot adapt to channel state changes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic action through frequency hopping, where the system periodically switches between different frequency bands according to a hopping sequence. Within each hop interval, resources are stably allocated to maintain data transmission stability. However, the periodic switching between frequency bands allows the system to adapt to channel state changes over time, effectively resolving the contradiction between stability and adaptability.

AI summary
Methods and apparatus are provided for transmitting and receiving data in a wireless communication system. Resource allocation information is received and hopping-related information is identified. A resource for transmitting data is determined based on the resource allocation information and hopping-related information, and data is transmitted on the determined resource. A sub-band is determined from a plurality of sub-bands based on the first hopping parameter and a resource in the determined sub-band is determined based on the second hopping parameter.
