MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, RESOURCE MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17993288 titled 'MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, RESOURCE MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The management apparatus described in this patent application is designed to manage a frequency resource that can be shared by multiple wireless communication networks. It performs the following operations:
- Acquires information about the current usage condition of the frequency resource by a first wireless communication network.
- Acquires information about the desired condition under which a second wireless communication network wants to use the frequency resource.
- Estimates the impact that the second wireless communication network will have on the first network based on the acquired usage and desired condition information.
- Determines whether to allow the second network to use the frequency resource based on the estimated impact.
- Notifies the second network of alternative condition information if the use of the frequency resource is not permitted.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Efficient management of frequency resources in areas where multiple wireless communication networks coexist.
- Optimizing the allocation of frequency resources to minimize interference between networks.
- Facilitating the sharing of frequency resources between different wireless communication technologies (e.g., Wi-Fi and cellular networks).
Problems solved by this technology:
- Interference between wireless communication networks can degrade the performance and reliability of the networks.
- Efficiently managing and allocating frequency resources is crucial to ensure optimal network performance.
- Coordinating the use of frequency resources between different networks can be challenging without a centralized management system.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved performance and reliability of wireless communication networks by minimizing interference.
- Efficient utilization of frequency resources, leading to increased capacity and better network performance.
- Simplified coordination and management of frequency resources between different wireless communication networks.
Original Abstract Submitted
There is provided a management apparatus configured to manage a sharable frequency resource. The management apparatus performs operations including: acquiring usage condition information on a usage condition for the frequency resource used by a first wireless communication network, and desired condition information on a condition under which a second wireless communication network desires to use the frequency resource; estimating, based on the usage and desired condition information, an impact imposed by the second wireless communication network on the first wireless communication network; determining whether to permit use of the frequency resource corresponding to the desired condition information in the second wireless communication network; and notifying alternative condition information on a usage condition, when the use of the frequency resource is determined to be not permitted.
