method and architecture of integrating cognitive function in 4g / 5g systems for use in tv-whitespace (tvws) channels

摘要

The present invention addresses a new method of operation for an architecture including software and hardware devices for the inclusion of cognitive functionality for 4G (Fourth Generation Mobile Communication) and 5G (Fifth Generation Mobile Communication) radio frequency communication technologies. , for communication on unoccupied channels destined to TV stations defined as TVWS (TV-WhiteSpace). The method includes a cognitive cycle comprising spectral sensing, spectral analysis, spectral decision, spectral sharing, spectral switching, and spectral release, while maintaining compatibility with the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) standard, enabling interoperability between equipment from different suppliers, and the coexistence between the two networks, the network adhering to the 3GPP standard for cellular mobile system and the network adhering to the cognitive cellular mobile system using the TVWS spectrum. This interoperability and coexistence are based on the inclusion of new standardized elements: GDB (Geolocation Database); 5G COSARA (Collaborative Spectrum Sensing Optimized for Remote Areas); 5G DARA (Dynamic Spectrum and Resource Allocation for Remote Areas); and 5G D2DRC (Device-to-Device Relay Communication for Remote Areas) and adaptations to existing elements, designating these as: 5G SCHED; 5G LA; and 5G ATB, thereby allowing the minimization of the problem of scarcity of radio frequency spectrum resources in mobile cellular systems, and allowing the minimization of the inefficient use of radio frequency spectrum resources carried out today.
