Overlapping Base Station Coverage Guided by User Action Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication systems struggle to accurately assess and improve Quality of Experience (QoE) based on users' subjective evaluations, as they do not adequately consider the impact of factors like delays and jitters, and existing gamification elements are not used for wireless communication.
Innovation Solution
A wireless communication system that includes a first and second base station with overlapping coverage, equipped with user action detection and position estimation capabilities, allowing for the determination of coverage based on user actions and feedback to concentrate resources on areas requiring improvement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If wireless resources are allocated based on application-required quality to satisfy QoE, then QoE is improved, but device complexity increases due to the need for user action detection and position estimation
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal device performs self-service by detecting its own user actions and estimating its position, then reporting this information to the wireless communication device. This eliminates the need for the network side to implement complex detection mechanisms, thereby improving QoE while minimizing the increase in device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by having the terminal report user action information and position information to the wireless communication device, which then determines coverage and adjusts resource allocation accordingly. This feedback loop enables QoE improvement through user-centric resource allocation without requiring complex centralized detection systems.
2Reliability
If coverage determination is based on user action information and position information, then communication quality is improved, but loss of information increases due to additional data collection requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential information needed for coverage determination - user action information and position information - from the terminal. By taking out only these specific data elements rather than collecting comprehensive terminal data, the system improves communication quality while minimizing information loss.
3Productivity
If the second base station covers a smaller region with overlapping coverage, then productivity is improved by concentrating resources, but area of stationary object decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The second base station provides localized coverage in specific areas where users are detected through action detection and position estimation. By concentrating resources in these identified local areas rather than providing uniform coverage, the system improves productivity (resource utilization efficiency) while the overall network coverage is maintained through the first base station.

AI summary
A wireless communication system includes a first base station, a second base station, a terminal connectable to both the first base station and the second base station, and a wireless communication device that is connected to both the first base station and the second base station and controls the coverage of the second base station. The coverage of the second base station is superimposed on the coverage of the first base station and is smaller than the coverage of the first base station. The terminal detects a user's action, acquires information regarding a predetermined user's action performed on the host terminal, and estimates position information of the host terminal. The wireless communication device determines the coverage of the second base station, based on the information regarding the user's action and the position information acquired from the terminal via the first base station or the second base station.
