Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems face inefficiencies in reporting maximum permitted exposure (MPE) information, particularly in scenarios with multiple antenna panels using MIMO techniques, leading to overreporting or underreporting of MPE, which affects network performance and resource management.

Innovation Solution

Implementing panel-specific MPE reporting configurations and reports that provide beam-specific, port-specific, and panel-specific MPE information, allowing base stations to dynamically adapt scheduling and ensure compliance with MPE limits, thereby improving network efficiency and performance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If panel-specific MPE reporting configuration is implemented, then MPE information accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

ImproveMPE information accuracyVSAvoidreporting configuration complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides MPE reporting into panel-specific segments, where each antenna panel has its own MPE report configuration and reporting parameters. This segmentation allows precise tracking of MPE limits per panel while maintaining manageable complexity through structured organization of reporting configurations.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different MPE reporting configurations to different antenna panels based on their specific characteristics and regulatory requirements. Each panel can have customized reporting parameters, thresholds, and formats tailored to its local needs, improving overall MPE information accuracy without requiring uniform complexity across all panels.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

2Productivity

If panel-specific MPE reporting is implemented, then network efficiency is improved, but information processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenetwork efficiencyVSAvoidinformation processing volume

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the necessary MPE information for each panel that requires reporting, rather than transmitting complete MPE data for all panels. This selective extraction reduces information processing volume while maintaining network efficiency by focusing on relevant panels and parameters.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements partial MPE reporting where only panels exceeding specific MPE thresholds or meeting certain criteria are required to report. This partial action approach reduces overall information processing requirements while maintaining network efficiency by concentrating resources on panels that need MPE management.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #16Partial or excessive action
