Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional wireless network architectures face inefficiencies in maintaining stable connections for mobile devices with varying speeds due to frequent handovers and resource-intensive signal strength measurements by small cell base stations, leading to decreased network utilization.

Innovation Solution

A method where a mobile apparatus calculates its moving speed and connects with a base station only if the speed is within the station's broadcasted acceptable range, defined by speed threshold values, thereby avoiding unstable connections and reducing handovers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If small cell base stations are deployed to ease the working load of macrocell base stations, then network utilization efficiency is improved, but mobile apparatuses moving at high speed experience frequent handovers and connection instability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork utilization efficiencyVSAvoidconnection stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by introducing speed threshold information as a selection criterion for base station connection. The mobile apparatus changes its connection behavior based on its moving speed parameter, comparing it against broadcast speed thresholds to determine whether to connect to small cell or macrocell base stations, thereby resolving the contradiction between network efficiency and connection stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If mobile apparatus measures signal strength of multiple base stations to determine connection, then connection decision accuracy is improved, but resource consumption and network burden increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection decision accuracyVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by having base stations broadcast speed threshold information in advance before the mobile apparatus needs to make connection decisions. The mobile apparatus uses this pre-provided information along with its own speed measurement to directly determine connectivity without performing exhaustive signal strength measurements of multiple base stations, thus reducing resource consumption while maintaining decision accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
