Base Station Reflector Control Transfer for Overlap Interference
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication methods in overlapping base station coverage areas affect the communication capabilities of both the first and second user equipment by reallocating resources or changing transmission directions, thereby impacting the communication quality of both user equipment.
Innovation Solution
A first base station obtains control rights on reflectors from a second base station to communicate with user equipment without using the second base station's resources or changing its transmission direction, allowing direct communication and reducing communication delay.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If the neighboring base station sends data to the first user equipment using its resources, then the signal strength received by the first user equipment is increased, but the quantity of resources allocated to the second user equipment is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the control function of reflectors from the resource allocation function of base stations. The first base station controls the reflectors to provide signal enhancement, while the second base station maintains independent resource allocation for its user equipment. This segmentation allows signal strength improvement without resource reduction by separating the functions that were previously coupled.
Solution Approach 2:
The reflectors serve as an intermediary between base stations and user equipment. Instead of the neighboring base station directly using its resources to send data, the first base station controls the reflectors to mediate signal transmission. This intermediary mechanism enables signal enhancement while preserving the resource allocation independence of the second base station.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the neighboring base station stops using the time-frequency resource occupied by the first user equipment, then the interference from the neighboring base station to the first user equipment is reduced, but the communication capability of the second user equipment is affected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the interference management function from the communication service function. The first base station independently manages interference by controlling reflectors to adjust signal directions, while the second base station continues providing communication services to its user equipment without interruption. This segmentation allows interference reduction without affecting communication capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The reflectors act as intermediaries for interference management. Instead of the neighboring base station stopping resource usage, the first base station uses reflectors to mediate signal directions, steering interference away from the first user equipment while allowing the second base station to maintain normal communication with its user equipment.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If the neighboring base station changes the transmission direction to stop sending data belonging to the second user equipment to the first user equipment, then the interference from the neighboring base station to the first user equipment is reduced, but the communication capability of the second user equipment is affected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the interference control function from the data transmission function. The first base station independently controls transmission directions by adjusting reflector orientations, while the second base station continues transmitting data to its user equipment without interruption. This segmentation enables interference reduction while preserving communication capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The reflectors serve as intermediaries for transmission direction control. Instead of the neighboring base station changing its transmission direction, the first base station uses reflectors to mediate signal paths, redirecting signals to reduce interference while allowing the second base station to maintain normal data transmission to its user equipment.
