Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the transceiver operates at full power to maintain performance, then communication quality is improved, but battery life deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic power adjustment by continuously monitoring network activity and adapting transceiver power levels in real-time. The system transitions between different power states based on actual communication needs, ensuring full power is used only when necessary for maintaining communication quality while conserving energy during low-activity periods.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the power parameter of the transceiver based on network activity conditions. By adjusting the power level parameter dynamically rather than maintaining a fixed high power setting, the system resolves the contradiction between maintaining communication quality and extending battery life.
2Use of energy by moving object
If the transceiver operates at reduced power to conserve battery life, then energy consumption is reduced, but communication quality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs feedback mechanisms by monitoring network activity and communication conditions, then using this information to adjust power levels appropriately. This closed-loop control ensures that power is reduced only when network activity indicates lower communication quality requirements, preventing deterioration while conserving energy.
Solution Approach 2:
The dynamic adaptation of power levels based on real-time network conditions allows the system to maintain adequate communication quality at reduced power levels when appropriate, rather than requiring constant full-power operation.
3Speed
If beacon signals are transmitted frequently to maintain network connectivity, then network responsiveness is improved, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements periodic beacon signal transmission with variable intervals based on network activity. Instead of continuous or fixed-frequency beacon transmission, the system adjusts the period between beacons dynamically, transmitting more frequently when network activity requires responsiveness and less frequently during low-activity periods to conserve power.
Solution Approach 2:
The beacon transmission interval is made dynamic rather than static, allowing the system to optimize the balance between network responsiveness and power consumption by adapting the transmission frequency to actual network conditions.

AI summary
Methods and systems are described herein for adaptively adjusting the power level of a wireless transceiver and a cellular transceiver in a telecommunications device to correspond to the usage and data throughput of the device. The device can also dynamically enter different modes of operation based at least in part on network activity data usage on a wireless data network provided by the telecommunications device. By controlling the power levels, the power usage of the device can be reduced in order to increase efficiency of battery usage.
