Solution Overview

Problem

Current radio communication networks face challenges in optimizing the positioning of moving cells for effective sensing and access, as their trajectories are not dynamically responsive to the positioning of terminal devices, leading to suboptimal communication and sensing performance due to positioning issues that affect link strength and coverage areas.

Innovation Solution

A central trajectory controller determines the trajectories for both outer moving cells and backhaul moving cells to optimize their positioning within a coverage area, balancing fronthaul and backhaul link strengths, using algorithms that consider current locations, target areas, and channel conditions to maximize data rate and link quality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If moving cells use fixed or predetermined trajectories, then device complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but communication performance and link strength deteriorate due to inability to adapt to terminal device positioning

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication performanceVSAvoidtrajectory control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where the central trajectory controller continuously receives information about terminal device positions and channel conditions, then adjusts moving cell trajectories in real-time to optimize link strength and communication performance while maintaining manageable system complexity through automated closed-loop control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

A central trajectory controller acts as an intermediary between terminal devices and moving cells, managing the complexity of trajectory optimization centrally rather than requiring complex distributed coordination among multiple moving cells, thus improving communication performance without proportionally increasing overall system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges trajectory control functions for multiple moving cells into a single centralized controller, allowing dynamic adjustment of individual cell trajectories to maintain optimal link strength with terminal devices while simplifying operation through unified management rather than requiring complex distributed coordination

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The trajectory control system transitions from static predetermined paths to dynamic adaptive trajectories that automatically adjust in real-time based on terminal device positions and channel conditions, improving link strength while the automation reduces operational complexity through algorithm-based decision-making

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Productivity

If multiple moving cells operate independently with own trajectories, then device complexity at each cell is reduced, but overall system performance deteriorates due to lack of coordination on fronthaul and backhaul link optimization

Solution Approach 1:

A central trajectory controller serves as an intermediary that coordinates trajectories of multiple moving cells to simultaneously optimize both fronthaul links (to terminal devices) and backhaul links (between cells), achieving high data transmission rates through coordinated movement while centralizing the computational complexity of multi-cell optimization

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes trajectory parameters of multiple moving cells based on real-time channel conditions and terminal positions, with the central controller optimizing parameters such as cell positions, velocities, and acceleration to maximize overall system productivity while managing the complexity of coordinating multiple variable parameters
