Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a physical model is used to estimate received power, then the estimation process is simple and fast, but the estimation accuracy is insufficient in actual operation environments

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereceived power estimation accuracyVSAvoidmodel structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The estimation system is segmented into two independent components: a physical model for basic estimation and a correction model for refining accuracy. The physical model handles the bulk estimation while the correction model processes only the residual errors, achieving high accuracy without requiring the entire system to be complex.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The correction model acts as an intermediary that receives the output from the physical model and adjusts it based on actual measurement data. This intermediary component bridges the gap between simple physical estimation and complex real-world conditions, improving accuracy without replacing the entire physical model.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If manual parameter adjustments are made to improve estimation accuracy, then the estimation can be optimized for specific environments, but the operation complexity and time consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereceived power estimation accuracyVSAvoidparameter adjustment complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The correction model performs self-adjustment by automatically learning from historical data between physical model estimates and actual measurements. It autonomously optimizes its parameters without human intervention, eliminating the need for manual parameter tuning while maintaining high accuracy across different environments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where actual measurement data is continuously fed back to train and refine the correction model. This feedback loop enables the model to automatically adapt to changing environmental conditions, removing the need for manual reconfiguration when conditions change.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If base station transmission power is increased to ensure communication quality, then communication reliability improves, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication qualityVSAvoidbase station power consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts base station transmission power based on real-time received power estimates and actual communication conditions. Instead of using fixed high power levels, the system continuously optimizes power settings to maintain communication quality while minimizing energy consumption, adapting to changing channel conditions and user requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The correction model enables precise parameter estimation of received power under various transmission conditions. This accurate parameter knowledge allows the system to optimize transmission power settings by changing power levels adaptively based on actual channel conditions, achieving reliable communication with reduced power consumption compared to conservative fixed power settings.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium stores a learning program for causing a computer to execute a process including: calculating, by using a first model that estimates a value of received power of a radio wave received by a communication device from a base station based on position information of the base station and position information of the communication device, an estimated value of the received power of the radio wave; and training a second model that outputs a correction value for correcting the estimated value of the first model based on an actually measured value of the received power of the communication device in an operation environment using the first model, and the estimated value.
