Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If carrier phase based positioning methods are used to improve positioning accuracy, then positioning precision is improved, but Doppler effects cause carrier frequency deviation resulting in measurement inaccuracy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning accuracyVSAvoidmeasurement accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback by measuring the Doppler parameter from the positioning signal and using this measurement to compensate for carrier frequency deviations. The system continuously monitors the Doppler effect and adjusts the carrier phase measurement based on this feedback, resolving the contradiction between achieving high positioning accuracy and maintaining measurement reliability under Doppler influence.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the measurement parameters by introducing Doppler parameter measurement and compensation mechanisms. Instead of directly using the raw carrier phase measurement, the system measures the Doppler parameter first and then adjusts the carrier phase based on this parameter, effectively compensating for frequency deviations caused by Doppler effects and resolving the accuracy-reliability contradiction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If Doppler parameter measurement and compensation are implemented, then carrier phase measurement accuracy is improved, but measurement process complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the Doppler parameter measurement and carrier phase measurement processes into a unified measurement framework. By combining these measurements and using the Doppler parameter to directly compensate the carrier phase within the same processing chain, the system improves measurement accuracy while avoiding the need for separate complex compensation systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The measurement system performs self-service by using its own Doppler parameter measurement capability to compensate for errors in its carrier phase measurement. The system generates its own compensation data from its measurements, eliminating the need for external correction mechanisms and reducing overall system complexity while improving accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A reporting method, performed by a terminal device, includes: receiving at least one first positioning signal sent by a first transmission reception point (TRP); measuring the first positioning signal to obtain a measurement result, in which the measurement result includes at least one of a first carrier phase measurement result, a Doppler parameter, or a second carrier phase measurement result, in which the second carrier phase measurement result is obtained by adjusting the first carrier phase measurement result based on the Doppler parameter; and reporting a measurement report to a core network device, in which the measurement report includes the measurement result.
