Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If wireless sensing technologies are integrated into 5G communication systems, then sensing service capabilities are enhanced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the sensing service functionality by introducing distinct network entities: a sensing function network entity for service management and candidate executors for actual sensing operations. This segmentation allows the complex sensing capabilities to be distributed across multiple specialized components rather than concentrated in a single monolithic system, thereby enhancing versatility while managing complexity through modular architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements multi-functionality by enabling communication devices (base stations and UEs) to serve dual purposes: traditional communication functions and sensing service execution. The candidate executor mechanism allows these devices to be dynamically selected for sensing tasks based on their capabilities and current state, providing universal sensing service delivery across the communication infrastructure without requiring dedicated sensing-only hardware.
2Productivity
If candidate executors are registered for sensing services, then sensing service delivery is improved, but information processing overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by implementing a registration mechanism where candidate executors pre-register their sensing capabilities and identifiers with the sensing function network entity before actual sensing services are needed. This advance registration creates a ready pool of qualified executors, enabling rapid service deployment when sensing tasks arise without requiring real-time capability negotiation or extensive information exchange during actual service delivery.
3Measurement precision
If integrated sensing and communication services are implemented, then channel estimation and beam training are improved, but resource management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces the sensing function network entity as an intermediary between communication resources and sensing service requirements. This intermediary manages the coordination between communication and sensing functions, handling resource allocation, candidate executor selection, and service coordination. By centralizing this management function, the system achieves precise channel estimation and efficient beam training through coordinated resource usage without distributing the complex management logic across multiple devices.
