Light-Communication based Control of Radio Transmissions - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18034525 titled 'Light-Communication based Control of Radio Transmissions

The abstract of this patent application describes a method for determining the position of a wireless device in a wireless communication network using optical communication signals. The determined position is then utilized for controlling beamforming processing of radio communication signals between the wireless device and access points in the network.

  • The position of a wireless device is determined based on optical communication signals exchanged with access points in a wireless communication network.
  • The determined position is used to control beamforming processing of radio communication signals between the wireless device and other access points in the network.
  • This technology enhances the efficiency and reliability of wireless communication by optimizing signal transmission based on the device's position.
  • By utilizing optical communication signals for positioning, the system can achieve more accurate and real-time location information for improved network performance.
  • The method enables dynamic adjustment of beamforming processing to adapt to changes in the wireless device's position within the network.

Potential Applications: - Indoor positioning systems - Wireless network optimization - Smart home automation - Industrial IoT applications

Problems Solved: - Inaccurate positioning of wireless devices in a network - Suboptimal signal transmission due to lack of precise location information - Limited adaptability of beamforming processing in traditional wireless communication systems

Benefits: - Improved network performance and reliability - Enhanced signal transmission efficiency - Real-time positioning for dynamic network optimization

Commercial Applications: Title: "Optical Communication-Based Wireless Device Positioning for Enhanced Network Performance" This technology can be applied in various industries such as telecommunications, smart home automation, industrial IoT, and indoor positioning systems. It offers opportunities for companies to optimize their wireless networks for better performance and reliability.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the use of optical communication signals improve the accuracy of wireless device positioning in the network? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this method in large-scale wireless communication networks?


Original Abstract Submitted

A position of a wireless device () is determined based on an optical communication signal transmitted between the wireless device () and one or more access points () of the wireless communication network. The determined position is used for controlling beamforming processing of radio communication signals transmitted between the wireless device () and one or more second access points () of the wireless communication network.
