Solution Overview

Problem

The deployment of numerous base stations in wireless communication systems leads to ultra-high energy consumption, which can be reduced by reducing redundant power, but this approach adversely affects user experience rates, particularly for edge users.

Innovation Solution

A power adjustment method that distinguishes between center and edge users within a cell, applying different power levels to maintain service quality for edge users while reducing overall power consumption.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If the power of the base station is reduced to decrease energy consumption, then the redundant power is reduced, but the user experience rate deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy consumptionVSAvoiduser experience rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different power adjustment strategies to different user groups within the same cell. Center users receive a first power level while edge users receive a second power level, creating localized quality differences in power allocation that optimize both energy efficiency and user experience for each group

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Power

If the power parameter is uniformly reduced for all users, then the overall power consumption decreases, but the service quality for edge users deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower consumptionVSAvoidservice quality
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the user population into at least two distinct groups: center users and edge users. This segmentation allows the system to apply different power parameters to each group, ensuring that power reduction does not uniformly degrade service quality across all users while still achieving overall power consumption reduction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A method includes receiving, by a first communication apparatus, first information, determining a first power and a second power based on the power parameter, providing a service for a first terminal device in a first cell based on the first power, and providing a service for a second terminal device in the first cell based on the second power. The first information is useable to indicate a power parameter. The first communication apparatus is configured to manage the first cell. The second power is greater than the first power.
