Base Station Timing Window Adjustment for 5G NR Signal Reception
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In wireless communication networks, especially 5G NR, timing windows for receiving signals are often incorrectly set due to environmental changes and signal interference, leading to signal loss and inefficiencies in resource usage as base stations maintain static timing windows for each user equipment (UE).
Innovation Solution
A system that adjusts timing windows for a base station based on previously received 5G NR signals, using neural networks and interpolation to determine optimal intervals for signal reception, thereby ensuring signals are received within the best-suited timeframe, and dynamically adjusts timing windows for both the base station and UE to improve signal processing efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If static timing windows are used for signal reception, then device complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but signal reception reliability deteriorates due to environmental changes and interference
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic timing window adjustment by continuously adapting the timing window parameters based on measured signal characteristics and environmental conditions. The base station monitors signal arrival times and adjusts the timing window positions and durations dynamically to maintain optimal signal reception despite vehicle movement and environmental changes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs feedback mechanisms where the base station measures actual signal arrival times and uses this information to adjust future timing windows. The feedback loop continuously refines timing window parameters based on observed signal behavior, improving reception reliability while managing system complexity through iterative optimization.
2Reliability
If timing windows are adjusted dynamically based on previous signals, then signal reception reliability is improved, but processing complexity and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial adjustment strategies where timing window parameters are modified only to the extent necessary to accommodate observed signal variations. Rather than continuously recalculating all parameters, the system adjusts only the critical timing elements that need modification, reducing processing energy while maintaining reception reliability.
3Reliability
If timing windows are expanded to account for timing variations, then signal reception reliability is improved, but resource utilization efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements local timing adjustments where timing window parameters are optimized specifically for each user equipment's signal characteristics and environmental conditions. Rather than using uniform expanded windows for all UEs, the system applies localized timing corrections tailored to individual signal paths, maintaining reliability while preserving resource utilization efficiency.
