Solution Overview

Problem

Communication between a base station and a wireless terminal in wireless communication systems is often disrupted due to link fluctuations and terminal polarization, leading to difficulties in data transmission and reception.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a dualized base station system that includes a receiver, transmitter, and controller to generate and transmit resource scheduling or control information to the wireless terminal from multiple base stations along its moving path, ensuring reliable communication by simultaneously receiving and transmitting this information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a single base station transmits control information to a wireless terminal, then the device complexity is low, but the reliability of communication is poor due to link fluctuation and terminal polarization

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidbase station system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple base stations into a coordinated system where at least two base stations simultaneously transmit control information to the wireless terminal. This combination of multiple transmission sources improves communication reliability by providing redundancy against link fluctuations and terminal polarization, while the base stations operate as a coordinated unit rather than independent systems

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements prior cushioning by having multiple base stations prepared to transmit control information simultaneously or alternatively. This pre-established redundancy cushions against potential communication failures from link fluctuation or terminal polarization, ensuring that if one transmission path fails, another is already in place to maintain communication

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

2Reliability

If multiple base stations transmit control information simultaneously, then the reliability of communication is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidbase station coordination complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by designing the base station system where each base station can perform the same control information transmission function. This multi-functionality allows any base station in the set to independently transmit control information, simplifying the coordination mechanism while maintaining reliability through redundant transmission capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements partial action by having multiple base stations transmit control information, where the additional transmissions beyond what a single base station provides create redundancy. This excessive transmission approach ensures that even with increased complexity, the system gains reliability through multiple successful transmission opportunities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
