Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional systems and methods are used for facilitating communications with wireless user endpoints and transceivers, then system simplicity is maintained, but communication efficiency and effectiveness deteriorate in distributed antenna systems
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic transceiver selection where the set of transceivers serving a wireless user endpoint is not fixed but adapts based on channel characteristics. The system dynamically determines which transceivers should provide communication service by evaluating channel quality metrics, allowing the system to respond to changing network conditions and optimize communication efficiency in real-time
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs feedback mechanisms where wireless user endpoints transmit reference signals that are received by multiple transceivers. The system uses this feedback information to determine channel characteristics and select the optimal transceiver set. This feedback loop enables continuous optimization of communication efficiency based on actual channel conditions
2Quantity of substance
If multiple transceivers are distributed around different locations to increase network capacity, then network capacity is improved, but the complexity of coordinating and selecting transceivers increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables wireless user endpoints to perform self-selection by transmitting reference signals and having the system automatically determine optimal transceiver characteristics. This self-service approach reduces the need for complex centralized coordination, allowing the system to automatically adapt to the presence of multiple distributed transceivers based on actual channel conditions
3Reliability
If transceivers are dynamically selected based on channel characteristics, then communication effectiveness is improved, but the time required for transceiver selection increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary actions by having wireless user endpoints transmit reference signals in advance, allowing the system to pre-determine channel characteristics and select optimal transceivers before actual communication begins. This preliminary measurement and selection process enables faster subsequent communication establishment while maintaining high effectiveness
