Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a fixed number of wireless base stations are installed using conventional methods, then the installation process is simple, but the accommodation efficiency of wireless terminal stations is suboptimal and costs increase due to unnecessary installations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the base station installation positions movable and adjustable rather than fixed. The calculation device dynamically determines optimal positions based on terminal distribution, and the system allows repositioning base stations to new calculated locations to improve accommodation efficiency while maintaining manageable complexity through automated calculation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of base station positions from fixed to variable. By calculating and adjusting the coordinates (x, y) of each base station based on terminal distribution parameters, the system optimizes accommodation efficiency. The method transforms static installation into dynamic parameter optimization, reducing unnecessary installations and costs.
2Reliability
If more wireless base stations are installed to improve coverage, then communication quality improves, but installation costs and radio wave interference increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by determining base station positions and transmission powers tailored to specific local areas with terminal stations. Each base station is configured with appropriate transmission power based on local terminal distribution and distance, providing optimized coverage without excessive power that would cause interference. This localized optimization ensures communication quality while minimizing harmful radio wave interference.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses partial action by installing only the necessary number of base stations required to accommodate terminals, rather than excessive installations. The calculation device determines the minimum sufficient number of base stations and their optimal positions, avoiding unnecessary installations that would increase costs and interference while still achieving reliable communication coverage.
3Adaptability or versatility
If wireless base station positions are fixed, then installation is straightforward, but the system cannot adapt to fluctuations in terminal distribution
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the base station system dynamic by enabling position recalculation when terminal distribution changes. The calculation device can recompute optimal positions based on updated terminal locations, allowing the system to adapt to fluctuations. This dynamic capability is implemented through automated calculation, maintaining ease of operation despite the added adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback by using terminal distribution information to calculate and adjust base station positions. The system receives feedback about terminal locations and uses this information to optimize base station placement. This feedback mechanism enables adaptability to changing conditions while the automated calculation process maintains operational simplicity.

AI summary
This disclosure provides a method for calculating the installation number and installation positions of wireless base stations in accordance with the positions of wireless terminal stations within an installation area. First, when a predetermined number of wireless base stations are temporarily installed within the installation area, a wireless base station accommodating each wireless terminal station in a communication area is determined and the number of wireless base stations accommodating each wireless terminal station is calculated as a “number of conflicts”. Next, wireless base stations successively accommodating starting with an un-accommodated wireless terminal station of a small number of conflicts are successively selected as objects of installation. Then, the installation number and installation positions of the wireless base stations are calculated, with the temporarily installed wireless base stations other than the wireless base stations serving as the objects of installation being excluded.
