Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication technologies face high resource overhead due to the need for detailed beam information from a large number of beams, which is challenging for terminals and network-side devices.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that determine the quality information of a second beam based on the quality information of a first beam, reducing the need for individual measurement of each beam by leveraging associations and artificial intelligence for beam processing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If quality information of all beams is measured individually, then measurement precision is improved, but resource overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses quality information from a first beam as a copy or reference to determine quality information of a second beam, avoiding the need for separate direct measurements of the second beam. This copying approach reduces measurement resources while maintaining acceptable accuracy through the relationship between beams.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the quality information of the first beam serve multiple functions: it directly represents the quality of the first beam and simultaneously serves as a basis for determining the quality of the second beam. This multi-functionality reduces the total measurement burden across the beam system.
2Loss of information
If detailed beam information is obtained for all beams, then information completeness is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential quality information from the first beam that is sufficient for determining second beam quality, rather than processing all possible beam parameters. This extraction approach maintains information completeness for decision-making while reducing processing complexity.
3Measurement precision
If individual beam measurement is performed, then measurement accuracy is improved, but measurement time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary measurement of the first beam, whose quality information can then be reused for determining second beam quality. This preliminary action reduces the total measurement time required for the beam system while maintaining accuracy through the relationship between beams.
