Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If transmission power control is implemented in wireless LAN systems, then communication quality can be improved, but mutual interference between networks cannot be sufficiently resolved and impartiality with adjacent networks is not maintained
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the base station receives communication situation information from other base stations, evaluates whether control is permissible based on this feedback, and adjusts transmission power accordingly. This closed-loop feedback system enables dynamic adaptation to network conditions while maintaining impartiality with adjacent networks.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces communication situation information as an intermediary element that mediates between different networks. By sharing and evaluating this information, base stations can make informed decisions about transmission power control that consider the impact on adjacent networks, thus resolving mutual interference while maintaining fairness.
2Power
If transmission power is increased to improve communication characteristics, then signal strength improves, but interference with adjacent networks increases and impartiality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent dynamically changes transmission power parameters based on evaluated communication situation information. By adjusting this parameter in response to network conditions and impartiality considerations, the system optimizes communication characteristics while preventing excessive interference with adjacent networks.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes transmission power control dynamic rather than static. The base station continuously evaluates communication situation information and adjusts transmission power in real-time, enabling adaptation to changing network conditions while maintaining fair coexistence with adjacent networks.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If transmission power control is implemented to resolve interference, then mutual interference decreases, but communication opportunities are lost and network productivity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial control by evaluating whether transmission power control is permissible before executing it. Rather than uniformly reducing power to eliminate interference, the system selectively applies control only when communication situation information indicates it is appropriate, thus maintaining communication opportunities while resolving interference.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent takes preliminary action by evaluating communication situation information before implementing transmission power control. This preliminary evaluation prevents unnecessary control actions that would reduce communication opportunities, while still preparing to address interference when genuinely needed.

AI summary
The present technology relates to a communication apparatus and a communication method that can improve a communication characteristic. The communication apparatus is a base station and includes a control section configured to determine, on the basis of first communication situation information regarding a communication situation of the base station and second communication situation information regarding a communication situation received from another base station, whether or not it is permissible to carry out control of a communication parameter in the base station, and determine, on the basis of the first communication situation information and the second communication situation information, whether or not it is permissible to transmit first control request information regarding a control request of a communication parameter in the other base station. The present technology can be applied, for example, to a wireless LAN system.
