Base Station CoMP Type Notification for Compatible Set Formation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Forming a CoMP cooperating set among different base stations is challenging due to varying support for CoMP types, requiring a method to easily establish a common CoMP type across base stations.
Innovation Solution
A base station that receives notifications of supported CoMP types from neighboring stations and stores this information to facilitate the formation of a CoMP cooperating set, allowing for efficient communication by selecting base stations with compatible CoMP types.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If base stations attempt to form a CoMP cooperating set, then communication quality can be improved, but the complexity of selecting compatible base stations increases due to varying CoMP type support
Solution Approach 1:
Base stations perform preliminary actions by notifying neighboring base stations of their supported CoMP types before forming a cooperating set. This advance information exchange enables subsequent base stations to store and reference this data, simplifying the selection process and ensuring compatibility without requiring complex real-time negotiations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where base stations exchange notifications about their CoMP type support capabilities. This feedback loop allows each base station to store information about neighboring base stations' capabilities, enabling informed selection decisions and reducing the complexity of forming compatible cooperating sets.
2Ease of operation
If base stations store information about neighboring base stations' CoMP type support, then the ease of forming compatible sets improves, but the memory requirements and information management complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The information management task is segmented by organizing stored data according to neighboring base station identifiers and grouping CoMP type support information in a structured manner. This segmentation allows base stations to manage information efficiently without requiring complex data structures, simplifying the overall information management process while maintaining ease of set formation.

AI summary
A base station supporting CoMP, comprises: a receiver that receives a notification of a CoMP type supported by a neighboring base station from the neighboring base station; and a storage that stores information of the neighboring base station in association with the CoMP type supported by the neighboring base station based on the notification received by the receiver.
