Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In wireless LAN environments, it is challenging to control and optimize settings for terminal stations that are compatible with both wireless LAN and cellular communication standards, as existing systems lack the ability to distinguish between these standards and set optimal parameters for efficient communication.
Innovation Solution
A radio communication method and system that collects additional-line information, request information, and identifier information from terminal stations to calculate and set policies for each radio communication unit, allowing for efficient switching and setting based on compatibility with both wireless LAN and cellular standards.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If uniform disconnection control is applied to all terminal stations below a predetermined reception strength, then the control implementation is simple, but the communication efficiency deteriorates because optimal settings cannot be provided for different terminal types
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments terminal stations into different groups based on their communication capabilities (cellular compatibility vs. wireless LAN only). The base station collects additional-line information from each terminal and applies different control policies to different segments, rather than uniform control for all terminals.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by providing different optimal settings and control policies to different terminal stations based on their specific characteristics. Terminals with cellular compatibility receive different handling than terminals without cellular compatibility, optimizing communication efficiency for each local case.
2Productivity
If the base station collects and processes additional-line information, request information, and identifier information for each terminal station, then the communication efficiency is improved through optimal settings, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The base station performs preliminary actions by collecting additional-line information, request information, and identifier information from terminal stations in advance. This preliminary data collection and processing enables optimal setting calculation before actual communication occurs, improving overall communication efficiency.
3Adaptability or versatility
If different optimal settings are applied to terminal stations based on their communication compatibility, then the adaptability to different terminal requirements is improved, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring terminal characteristics increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where terminal stations provide additional-line information and identifier information back to the base station. This feedback enables the base station to detect terminal characteristics and calculate optimal settings, achieving high adaptability through structured information exchange.
