Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the terminal continuously monitors and transmits all downlink and uplink channels, then the reliability of data and control information transmission is improved, but the energy consumption of the terminal increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by enabling the terminal to switch between different operational modes (first mode and second mode) based on configured conditions. In the first mode, the terminal transmits and receives all channels for maximum reliability. In the second mode, the terminal selectively transmits and receives only specific channels to reduce energy consumption. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to optimize between reliability and energy efficiency based on real-time network conditions and configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of channel transmission behavior by introducing mode selection mechanisms. The terminal's transmission and reception parameters are modified based on the selected mode: in the first mode, all channels are transmitted and received; in the second mode, specific channels are selectively transmitted and received. This parameter change enables the system to adjust energy consumption levels while maintaining acceptable transmission reliability.
2Use of energy by moving object
If the terminal selectively transmits and receives only specific channels, then the energy consumption is reduced, but the complexity of determining which channels to transmit and receive increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by having the network side (base station or network node) pre-configure the mode selection parameters and conditions before the terminal needs to make decisions. The terminal receives configuration information that defines the criteria for selecting between first and second modes, including which channels should be selectively transmitted and received. This pre-configuration eliminates the need for the terminal to perform complex real-time analysis, reducing the complexity of mode determination while still achieving energy savings.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the terminal reports its operational mode and channel transmission status to the network side. The network side uses this feedback information to adjust configuration parameters and optimize future mode selections. This feedback loop enables the system to learn from previous decisions and refine the complexity of mode determination over time, making the selective channel transmission more manageable.
