Problem

In wireless communication systems using blockchain, it is challenging to predict and provide communication quality suitable for a terminal device's location and speed, leading to potential mismatches between agreed and actual communication quality due to varying propagation environments and speeds.

Innovation Solution

A wireless communication system that utilizes a base station device to calculate and present predicted communication quality to a terminal device based on measured information, using a blockchain for distributed management, by considering the device's position and moving speed to estimate communication quality from past contracts.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If communication quality is presented based on general coverage area information, then the presentation process is simple, but the communication quality does not match the terminal device's actual situation (location and speed)

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication quality prediction accuracyVSAvoidprediction system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The base station performs measurement of communication quality parameters (signal strength, interference level) in advance before contract establishment, and stores this historical data. When a new terminal device requests connection, the system retrieves and references this pre-collected data to predict communication quality, avoiding the need for complex real-time analysis while improving prediction accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a simplified prediction model by copying relevant features from historical contract data (terminal device characteristics, location information, measured communication quality) to generate predictions for new terminals. This copying approach allows accurate prediction without requiring complex computational models, as the system leverages patterns from existing data rather than performing complex real-time calculations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Measurement precision

If communication quality is predicted using detailed terminal device information (position, speed, environment), then prediction accuracy improves, but the time required for contract authentication increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication quality prediction accuracyVSAvoidcontract authentication time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The base station performs communication quality measurements and stores historical data in advance before new contracts are established. When a terminal device requests connection, the system quickly retrieves pre-collected data and generates predictions without requiring complex real-time measurements, thus improving accuracy while minimizing authentication time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces complex real-time calculation mechanisms with data retrieval and pattern matching approaches. Instead of performing complex computational analysis during contract authentication, the system substitutes this with querying pre-stored historical data and applying simplified prediction rules, significantly reducing processing time while maintaining prediction accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Measurement precision

If the base station performs detailed measurement and prediction for each terminal device, then communication quality matching improves, but the processing load on the base station increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The base station performs communication quality measurements and data collection in advance during normal operation, storing this information in a database. When new terminal devices request connection, the system retrieves pre-collected data and generates predictions quickly without requiring extensive real-time measurement, thus improving measurement accuracy while maintaining high processing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses copying of historical data patterns to generate predictions for new terminals. By retrieving and adapting existing measurement data from similar terminal devices and environments, the base station avoids the need to perform completely new measurements for each terminal, reducing processing load while maintaining accurate predictions through pattern recognition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
