Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If radio communication uses high frequency band to increase bandwidth, then communication capacity is improved, but communication performance decreases due to terminal movement and Doppler shift
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic cell selection by continuously monitoring Doppler shift values and reception strengths, and adjusting the selected cell based on terminal movement conditions. The control section dynamically changes the serving cell to maintain optimal communication performance despite terminal movement in high-frequency bands.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses feedback mechanisms where the terminal measures reception strength and Doppler shift in surrounding cells and reports these measurements to the base station. The base station then uses this feedback information to make informed decisions about cell selection and handover timing, optimizing communication performance.
2Duration of action of stationary object
If handover is performed frequently to track terminal movement, then communication continuity is improved, but communication performance decreases due to handover timing mismatch with Doppler shift changes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary actions by having the terminal measure and report reception strength and Doppler shift values before handover is actually executed. The base station uses these advance measurements to predict future communication quality and determines the optimal handover timing, performing the handover proactively before performance degradation occurs.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent prepares for potential performance degradation by continuously monitoring Doppler shift trends and reception strengths. When deterioration is detected, the system initiates handover procedures in advance to cushion against the negative effects of Doppler shift, ensuring communication performance is maintained before significant degradation occurs.
