Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If multiple second stations transmit data simultaneously without centralized beam configuration, then transmission efficiency improves through parallel communication, but beam interference occurs between stations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the beam parameters (direction, angle, spatial position) of each second station through centralized configuration by the first station. By adjusting these beam parameters, the system enables simultaneous transmission while avoiding interference between stations, thus resolving the contradiction between improving transmission efficiency and preventing beam interference.
Solution Approach 2:
The first station centrally configures the transmit beams of multiple second stations based on channel state information and interference conditions. This feedback mechanism allows the system to optimize beam parameters dynamically, ensuring that simultaneous transmissions do not cause harmful interference while maintaining high transmission efficiency.
2Device complexity
If decentralized beam control is used among second stations, then system complexity is reduced, but communication quality deteriorates due to uncoordinated transmission
Solution Approach 1:
The first station serves multiple functions: it acts as a coordinator, a transmitter, and a controller for the entire system. By centralizing beam configuration functionality in the first station, the patent achieves coordinated transmission and high communication quality without requiring complex control mechanisms at each second station, thus resolving the contradiction between system complexity and communication quality.
3Device complexity
If transmit beams are not configured for multiple second stations, then device complexity is reduced, but transmission efficiency deteriorates due to inability to perform parallel transmission
Solution Approach 1:
The first station acts as an intermediary that centrally configures the transmit beams of multiple second stations. This intermediary approach enables parallel transmission and high efficiency without requiring complex beam configuration capabilities at each second station, thus resolving the contradiction between device complexity and parallel transmission efficiency.

AI summary
Example communication methods and apparatus are described. One example method includes sending one or more configuration indications by a first station. One configuration indication in the one or more configuration indications corresponds to one second station in one or more second stations. The configuration indication includes an identifier of the second station and a transmit beam indication, and the transmit beam indication is used to indicate a transmit beam used by the second station to send data. The second station receiving the configuration indication sends the data to the first station through the transmit beam indicated by the transmit beam indication. According to the embodiments of this application, the first station can control the second station to perform data transmission.
