COMMUNICATION METHOD AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18587262 titled 'COMMUNICATION METHOD AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes a method and apparatus for establishing two co-coverage cells within the same frequency band to avoid interference and provide backup service in case of abnormalities.

  • Two intra-frequency co-coverage cells are set up within the same frequency band.
  • Time-frequency resources are allocated to the cells in a way that prevents co-channel interference.
  • The cells share the frequency band, reducing spectrum resources and consumption of time-frequency resources.
  • Radio resource utilization is improved, and a reliability gain of dual-network system-level backup is achieved.

Key Features and Innovation

  • Establishment of two co-coverage cells within the same frequency band.
  • Allocation of time-frequency resources to avoid co-channel interference.
  • Backup service provided by one cell in case of abnormalities in the other.
  • Reduction in spectrum resources and consumption of time-frequency resources.
  • Improved radio resource utilization and reliability gain of dual-network system-level backup.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in cellular networks, particularly in areas where reliable backup service is crucial, such as emergency communication systems.

Problems Solved

  • Co-channel interference between cells within the same frequency band.
  • Lack of backup service in case of abnormalities in one cell.
  • Inefficient use of spectrum and time-frequency resources.

Benefits

  • Improved reliability and backup service in cellular networks.
  • Reduction in spectrum resources and consumption of time-frequency resources.
  • Enhanced radio resource utilization.

Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications include telecommunications companies, emergency response organizations, and any industry requiring reliable and efficient cellular communication systems.

Questions about the Technology

How does this technology improve radio resource utilization?

This technology improves radio resource utilization by establishing two co-coverage cells within the same frequency band, allowing for efficient allocation of time-frequency resources and reducing co-channel interference.

What are the potential applications of this technology beyond cellular networks?

This technology can also be applied in other wireless communication systems where backup service and efficient resource utilization are essential, such as public safety communication networks.


Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments of this application disclose a communication method and a communication apparatus, to establish two intra-frequency co-coverage cells within a same frequency band, and arrange time-frequency resources respectively used by the two cells in a time division or frequency division manner to avoid co-channel interference, so that the two cells back up each other. When one cell of the cells is abnormal, the other cell can still provide a service for a terminal device. Because the two cells share the frequency band, spectrum resources can be reduced, and consumption of the time-frequency resources can be reduced. In addition, radio resource utilization can be improved while a reliability gain of dual-network system-level backup is obtained.
