Solution Overview
Problem
Modern mobile communication networks face challenges in dynamic network planning, particularly in managing heterogeneous radio access networks with varying user equipment roles and capabilities, leading to inefficiencies in bandwidth allocation and network complexity.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for adaptive dynamic network planning that identifies master user equipment based on proximity to communication data streams and data processing capabilities, ensuring fairness among user equipment and optimizing network capacity by determining master and slave user equipment roles dynamically.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If small base stations are deployed to increase network coverage density, then network capacity is improved, but network layout complexity and radio resource confliction worsen
Solution Approach 1:
User equipment automatically determines its own role (master or slave) based on data stream proximity without requiring complex centralized coordination, enabling self-organized networking that reduces control overhead and simplifies network management while maintaining high capacity
Solution Approach 2:
The network topology dynamically adapts as user equipment moves and data streams evolve, with roles reassigned based on real-time proximity to communication data streams, allowing the network to maintain optimal performance without rigid planning
2Adaptability or versatility
If user equipment serves as infrastructure supplementation, then networking flexibility is improved, but management complexity worsens
Solution Approach 1:
User equipment autonomously determines its role and establishes connections based on its own measurement of proximity to communication data streams, eliminating the need for complex centralized management and coordination protocols
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses a clear binary parameter (proximity to data stream) to determine role assignment, simplifying the management decision process compared to evaluating multiple complex factors for each user equipment
3Productivity
If master user equipment is determined by proximity to communication data stream, then network resource utilization is improved, but fairness among user equipment worsens
Solution Approach 1:
Master user equipment roles are dynamically reassigned as user equipment moves and data streams evolve, ensuring that fairness is maintained over time through role rotation rather than permanent assignment based on static characteristics
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors user equipment positions and data stream locations, using this feedback to dynamically adjust role assignments and maintain both efficiency and fairness in the network
