Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing cellular mobile communication system struggles to manage cells effectively in scenarios involving generation, expansion, reduction, separation, collision, coupling, and extinction due to the dynamic nature of beam forming schemes, which complicates cell management and service provision.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a base station centric fixed cell scheme is used, then cell management is simple, but the system cannot effectively cope with dynamic scenarios such as generation, expansion, reduction, separation, collision, coupling, and extinction of cells in beam forming schemes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a dynamic cell management mechanism where floating cells can be generated, expanded, reduced, separated, coupled, or extinguished based on real-time service requests and traffic conditions. The determination unit dynamically decides cell management operations according to stored scenarios, allowing the system to adapt to changing conditions rather than using fixed cell boundaries.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the coverage area into fixed cells and multiple floating cells that can independently manage their states. Each floating cell operates semi-independently with its own generation and management logic, allowing granular control over different regions within the base station coverage area.
2Productivity
If multiple floating cells are generated to handle mobile data traffic, then traffic handling capability improves, but cell management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent stores multiple cell management scenarios in advance in the storage unit, covering various situations such as cell generation, expansion, reduction, separation, collision, coupling, and extinction. When a service request occurs, the determination unit simply retrieves and executes the appropriate pre-defined scenario, avoiding complex real-time decision-making while maintaining high adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The determination unit acts as an intermediary between the service request events and the cell management operations. It receives service requests, determines the appropriate processing scheme based on stored scenarios, and guides the controller to execute the correct cell management actions, thereby simplifying the overall control logic.
3Loss of time
If cell management scenarios are stored in advance, then response time to service requests improves, but storage requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent stores cell management scenarios locally in the storage unit of each base station, allowing each base station to independently manage its floating cells without requiring centralized control. This distributed storage approach minimizes response time while the scenarios are kept concise and targeted to specific cell management operations.

AI summary
An apparatus for cell management in a mobile communication system based on a beam forming scheme includes: a storage unit storing a cell management scenario for at least one floating cell inlayed with a fixed cell of a base station and managed by the base station or other base stations; a determination unit determining a processing scheme of the at least one floating cell on the basis of the cell management scenario stored in the storage unit when a service request event is generated within the fixed cell; and a controller processing the at least one floating cell on the basis of the cell management scenario corresponding to the determined processing scheme.
