Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If dynamic beam switching is implemented to support multiple service types, then adaptability is improved, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The network device pre-configures multiple frequency domain resources and switching patterns for the terminal device. The terminal device receives and stores this configuration information in advance, enabling it to perform beam switching without real-time network intervention, thus reducing power consumption while maintaining adaptability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic beam switching by configuring multiple frequency domain resources with different switching patterns. The terminal device can dynamically select and switch between different service beams based on service requirements, achieving adaptability while optimizing power consumption through predefined switching strategies
2Adaptability or versatility
If frequent beam switching is performed to meet service requirements, then adaptability is improved, but service gaps increase
Solution Approach 1:
The network device pre-configures switching time points and resource information for beam switching in advance. This allows the terminal device to perform switching at predetermined moments, avoiding service gaps that would occur with arbitrary or reactive switching decisions
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where the terminal device reports service requirements and channel conditions to the network device. The network device uses this feedback to optimize switching configurations, ensuring that beam switching occurs at appropriate times to maintain service continuity while meeting adaptability requirements
