Beam Control Message Scheduling for Low-Power High-Frequency Links
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing beam information exchange methods in high-frequency communication systems face challenges in achieving low power consumption while maintaining high timeliness, especially for low-power network elements that require frequent information exchange to manage beams effectively.
Innovation Solution
The proposed method involves a first node sending a beam control message to a second node, which includes beam behavior information indicating the control actions to be executed by the second node. This approach reduces the frequency of beam information exchange by allowing beam control behaviors to be indicated for future execution, thereby minimizing power consumption and delay.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If frequent beam information exchange is performed to maintain high timeliness, then beam control timeliness is improved, but power consumption increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by having the first node send beam control messages in advance that include future beam behavior information. The second node receives and stores this information beforehand, then executes the beam control actions at the predetermined future time without needing frequent real-time communication. This advance preparation reduces the frequency of information exchange while maintaining timeliness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements periodic action by establishing a predetermined time interval for beam control message transmission. Instead of continuous or frequent updates, the system uses periodic messaging where the first node transmits beam control information at scheduled intervals, and the second node executes corresponding beam control actions at these predetermined times. This periodic approach significantly reduces communication frequency compared to symbol-level updates.
2Speed
If beam information is updated on each symbol to maintain high timeliness, then beam control responsiveness is improved, but information exchange frequency increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses preliminary action by pre-transmitting beam control messages that contain future beam behavior information before the actual beam control is needed. The second node receives and stores this information in advance, then executes the beam control at the predetermined time without requiring real-time symbol-level updates. This maintains responsiveness while reducing exchange frequency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies dynamics by making the beam control mechanism flexible and adaptable. The system allows configuration of predetermined time intervals and can adjust beam control behaviors based on actual communication needs. This dynamic approach enables the system to maintain high responsiveness when needed while reducing information exchange frequency during stable periods.
