If the transmit power of the antenna is reduced to lower electromagnetic radiation, then user safety is improved, but communication quality deteriorates

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic transmit power adjustment by continuously monitoring the distance between antennas and dynamically changing power levels accordingly. The system transitions from static power settings to dynamic adaptation, allowing the transmit power to be adjusted in real-time based on antenna proximity, thus resolving the contradiction between safety and communication quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the transmit power parameter based on the distance parameter between antennas. When antennas are close together, the transmit power is reduced to minimize electromagnetic radiation; when antennas are far apart, higher power is permitted. This parameter-based adaptation allows the system to optimize both safety and communication quality under different operating conditions.

Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If the transmit power is increased to improve communication quality, then communication performance is improved, but electromagnetic radiation increases beyond safe levels

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms by monitoring antenna distance and using this information to adjust transmit power levels. The feedback loop continuously evaluates the spatial relationship between antennas and modifies power settings accordingly, ensuring that communication quality is maintained while electromagnetic radiation remains within safe limits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The transmit power parameter is adjusted based on the distance parameter between antennas. The system establishes a relationship where power levels are modified according to spatial configuration, allowing high power when antennas are separated (reducing radiation overlap) and low power when antennas are close (preventing excessive cumulative radiation).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If multiple antennas simultaneously transmit at high power, then communication coverage is improved, but the superposition effect increases electromagnetic radiation beyond safe levels

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the power control for each antenna based on its spatial relationship with other antennas. Instead of uniform power control across all antennas, the system individually adjusts each antenna's transmit power according to its specific position and proximity to other transmitting antennas, thereby managing the superposition effect locally for each antenna pair.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system modifies the transmit power parameter for each antenna based on the distance parameter to other antennas. When multiple antennas are close together, their individual power levels are reduced to prevent excessive superposition of electromagnetic fields. When antennas are well-separated, higher power levels are permitted, maintaining communication coverage while controlling cumulative radiation exposure.
