Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing reflectors in wireless communication systems, particularly for 6G, face difficulties in adjusting beam direction due to poor diffractive capability and require manual on-site adjustments, which is inconvenient and difficult, especially for reflectors installed on buildings.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for automatically adjusting the beam direction of a reflector using a database-stored optimized setting combinations, controlled by a computing and processing module, which adjusts altitude and angles based on trigger signals from sensors or user input, ensuring maximum signal intensity in specified areas.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual on-site adjustment of reflector settings is performed, then the reflector can be adjusted to optimized positions, but the adjustment process becomes difficult and inconvenient especially for building-mounted reflectors
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic self-adjustment of the reflector through automated control mechanisms. The control module receives trigger signals and automatically adjusts reflector settings based on pre-stored optimized combinations, eliminating the need for manual intervention and making the system serve itself.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical adjustment with an automated control system. The control module uses electronic signals to adjust the reflector's position and orientation, substituting the mechanical manual operation with an automated electromechanical system that includes trigger signal reception, processing, and execution.
2Area of stationary object
If reflectors are installed on building tops or external walls, then signal coverage can be extended, but the adjustment process becomes more difficult and inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic self-adjustment of the reflector through automated control mechanisms. The control module receives trigger signals and automatically adjusts reflector settings based on pre-stored optimized combinations, eliminating the need for manual intervention and making the system serve itself.
Solution Approach 2:
The control module acts as an intermediary between the trigger signal and the reflector adjustment mechanism. It receives the trigger signal, processes it according to pre-stored optimized settings, and automatically executes the adjustment, serving as a mediator that eliminates the need for direct manual intervention.
3Ease of operation
If automated control systems are implemented for reflector adjustment, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-storing optimized setting combinations in the database before actual operation. When a trigger signal is received, the control module simply retrieves and executes the pre-calculated optimal settings, eliminating the need for complex real-time calculations and reducing the complexity of the control system during operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The control system is segmented into distinct functional modules: a database for storing optimized settings, a control module for receiving trigger signals and processing, and an execution mechanism for adjusting the reflector. This segmentation allows each module to perform its specific function independently, simplifying the overall system design and maintenance.
