Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If beam management adjustment is used for anti-interference, then the millimeter wave communication can be maintained, but the anti-interference effect is limited and cannot achieve desirable performance
Solution Approach 1:
The anti-interference function is segmented into three independent assemblies: interference detection assembly, interference source detection assembly, and control assembly. Each assembly performs a specific function (detecting interference, locating source, executing countermeasures), allowing for specialized optimization of each component while maintaining overall system effectiveness and throughput performance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a closed-loop feedback mechanism where the interference detection assembly continuously monitors channel quality parameters, feeds this information to the control assembly, which then adjusts beam directions based on the detected interference sources. This real-time feedback enables dynamic adaptation to changing interference conditions, simultaneously improving reliability and maintaining throughput performance.
2Reliability
If millimeter wave is used for communication, then communication effect is improved, but penetration ability is weak and vulnerable to interference
Solution Approach 1:
The interference source detection assembly proactively identifies potential interference sources before they significantly degrade communication quality. By detecting the location and characteristics of interference sources in advance, the system can pre-adjust beam directions or activate countermeasures, preventing interference from taking effect and thus protecting the communication effect while maintaining millimeter wave usage.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent converts the harmful interference into useful information by detecting interference sources and using their location data to optimize beam directions. The interference detection mechanism transforms the harmful factor (interference presence) into a beneficial element (information about interference source location and characteristics) that enables more effective beam management and improves overall communication reliability.
