Base Station Controller Adaptive Power Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile terminal signals are often attenuated by obstructions, leading to varying signal intensities and poor user experience due to the inability to accurately locate the closest base station.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a mobile terminal, a server, and a base station controller that compares signal intensity with predetermined thresholds, sends location information to the server, and adjusts base station power based on the number of requests to boost signals, thereby improving signal quality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If base station power is increased to improve signal intensity, then signal quality improves, but interference with other signals increases
Solution Approach 1:
The base station transmitting power is dynamically adjusted based on real-time signal quality conditions. When signal quality deteriorates below a threshold, the power is increased; when it improves above a threshold, the power is restored to initial level, creating a dynamic response system that adapts to changing conditions
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where the mobile terminal monitors signal quality and communicates with the base station controller. The controller receives signal quality information, compares it with thresholds, and adjusts power accordingly. This closed-loop feedback ensures power adjustment is based on actual signal conditions rather than fixed settings
Solution Approach 3:
The invention changes the transmitting power parameter of the base station based on signal quality conditions. By modifying this physical parameter dynamically rather than keeping it static, the system can improve signal quality when needed while avoiding unnecessary interference during good signal conditions
2Reliability
If base station power is continuously increased to maintain signal quality, then signal attenuation is compensated, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The base station power is not continuously increased but adjusted periodically based on signal quality monitoring. The system waits for signal quality to fall below a threshold before increasing power, and restores power when quality improves, creating a periodic rather than continuous adjustment pattern that reduces unnecessary energy consumption
Solution Approach 2:
The transmitting power parameter is changed only when signal quality conditions warrant it, rather than maintaining a constantly high power level. This conditional parameter change ensures energy is consumed only when necessary to maintain service quality
3Reliability
If the closest base station location is not obtained, then network coverage is maintained, but signal intensity cannot be improved
Solution Approach 1:
The base station controller acts as an intermediary between the mobile terminal and the base station. It receives location information from the mobile terminal, determines the appropriate base station based on this location data, and coordinates power adjustment. This intermediary enables the system to use location information to improve signal intensity without requiring the mobile terminal to directly identify the closest base station

AI summary
A system of boosting a network signal and a method thereof are provided. The method includes: a mobile terminal obtaining a signal intensity of a base station and comparing the signal intensity to a predetermined first threshold of signal intensity; the mobile terminal sending a request to boost network signals and location information of the mobile terminal to the server, when the signal intensity is less than the first threshold; the base station controller receiving, from the server, the request; the base station controller locating to the base station based on the location information of the mobile terminal; the base station controller determining the number of requests to boost network signals received by the base station; the base station controller comparing the number to a predetermined number threshold; and the base station controller enabling the base station to increase power, when the number is larger than the number threshold.
