METHOD FOR PERFORMING COMMUNICATION SERVICE BY USING PLURALITY OF MODEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17817709 titled 'METHOD FOR PERFORMING COMMUNICATION SERVICE BY USING PLURALITY OF MODEMS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system where two modems perform communication services in different frequency bands. The first modem receives a switching instruction from an access network device to switch from its current frequency band to a third frequency band. The first modem informs an arbitration apparatus about the need for the switch. The arbitration apparatus determines whether the third frequency band conflicts with the second frequency band and decides whether to maintain the current operating mode or switch to a different operating mode for both modems.

  • The system involves two modems operating in different frequency bands.
  • The first modem receives a switching instruction from the access network device to switch to a third frequency band.
  • The first modem informs an arbitration apparatus about the need for the switch.
  • The arbitration apparatus determines if the third frequency band conflicts with the second frequency band.
  • Based on the determination, the arbitration apparatus decides whether to maintain the current operating mode or switch to a different operating mode for both modems.

Potential Applications

  • Wireless communication systems with multiple modems operating in different frequency bands.
  • Networks where modems need to switch frequency bands based on instructions from an access network device.

Problems Solved

  • Efficient management of modems operating in different frequency bands.
  • Avoiding conflicts between frequency bands when switching modems to different bands.

Benefits

  • Improved flexibility and adaptability of wireless communication systems.
  • Optimal utilization of available frequency bands.
  • Enhanced coordination between modems and access network devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

A first modem performs a first communication service in a first frequency band. A second modem performs a second communication service in a second frequency band. The first modem and the second modem are in a first operating mode. The first modem receives, from an access network device, a switching instruction for the first communication service, where the switching instruction is used to instruct the first modem to switch from the first frequency band to a third frequency band. The first modem indicates to an arbitration apparatus that the first modem needs to be switched to the third frequency band. The arbitration apparatus determines whether the third frequency band conflicts with the second frequency band, to perform: maintaining the first operating mode, or switching the first operating mode to a second operating mode for the first modem and the second modem.
