Communication Scheduler - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240340911 titled 'Communication Scheduler
The communications system described in the patent application involves user equipment (UE) devices, communications satellites, gateways, and a terrestrial network. The UE devices receive broadcast signals from the constellation and transmit registration requests to the gateways via the satellites in response to the broadcast signals. These registration requests include information identifying the geographic locations of the UE devices and two-line element (TLE) identifiers.
Key Features and Innovation:
- UE devices receive broadcast signals from a constellation and transmit registration requests to gateways via satellites.
- Registration requests include geographic locations and TLE identifiers.
- A scheduler on the terrestrial network generates forward link traffic grants for UE devices based on various factors.
Potential Applications: This technology could be used in satellite communications systems for efficient management of user equipment and traffic allocation.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the need for effective communication between UE devices, satellites, gateways, and the terrestrial network in a satellite communications system.
Benefits:
- Improved communication efficiency
- Enhanced traffic allocation
- Better management of user equipment in satellite communications systems
Commercial Applications: This technology could be valuable for satellite communication service providers looking to optimize their systems for better performance and resource allocation.
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include research on satellite communication systems, traffic allocation algorithms, and user equipment management in satellite networks.
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers may be exploring advancements in satellite communication systems, traffic management algorithms, and user equipment optimization in satellite networks.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this technology improve communication efficiency in satellite systems? 2. What are the key factors considered by the scheduler when generating forward link traffic grants for UE devices?
Original Abstract Submitted
a communications system may include user equipment (ue) devices, communications satellites, gateways, and a terrestrial network. the ue devices may receive broadcast signals from the constellation. the ue devices may transmit registration requests to the gateways via the satellites in response to the broadcast signals. the registration requests may include information identifying the geographic locations of the ue devices and may include two-line element (tle) identifiers. a scheduler on the terrestrial network may receive forward link traffic requests for the ue devices, each with a corresponding priority. the scheduler may also receive satellite information that includes thermal constraints, position information, and power information associated with the satellites. the scheduler may generate forward link traffic grants for the ue devices based on the forward link traffic requests, the thermal constraints, the tle versions, the geographic locations, and the priorities.
