FREQUENCY-BASED COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18457041 titled 'FREQUENCY-BASED COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a communication system that includes multiple nodes and a scheduler device. The nodes receive a signal represented by multiple frequency components in the frequency domain. The scheduler device generates a schedule for transmitting signals within the network, with different slots assigned to discrete frequency sub-bands. The nodes transmit the signal through the network to a listening device within a designated time window according to the schedule.

  • The communication system includes multiple nodes and a scheduler device.
  • Nodes receive a signal represented by multiple frequency components in the frequency domain.
  • The scheduler device generates a schedule for transmitting signals within the network.
  • The schedule assigns different slots to discrete frequency sub-bands.
  • Nodes transmit the signal through the network to a listening device within a designated time window according to the schedule.
  • Frequency components of the signal are transmitted through different slots based on the assigned frequency sub-bands.

Potential Applications

  • Time-sensitive networks requiring efficient transmission of signals.
  • Wireless communication systems with multiple nodes.
  • Industrial automation systems with strict timing requirements.

Problems Solved

  • Efficient transmission of time-sensitive signals in a network.
  • Coordinating multiple nodes to transmit signals within designated time windows.
  • Optimizing frequency allocation for different sub-bands.

Benefits

  • Improved reliability and efficiency of time-sensitive communication.
  • Enhanced coordination and synchronization of multiple nodes.
  • Increased capacity and throughput of the communication system.


Original Abstract Submitted

A communication system includes multiple nodes of a time-sensitive network and a scheduler device. At least one of the nodes is configured to obtain a first signal that is represented in a frequency domain by multiple frequency components. The scheduler device generates a schedule for transmission of signals including the first signal within the time-sensitive network. The schedule defines multiple slots assigned to different discrete frequency sub-bands within a frequency band. The slots have designated transmission intervals. The nodes are configured to transmit the first signal through the time-sensitive network to a listening device such that the first signal is received at the listening device within a designated time window according to the schedule. At least some of the frequency components of the first signal are transmitted through the time-sensitive network within different slots of the schedule based on the frequency sub-bands assigned to the slots.
