Regulatory Node EIRP Verification for Beam Compliance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in ensuring compliance with dynamic equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) masks after network node deployment, leading to increased interference at victim nodes and reduced reliability of wireless communications.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a regulatory node that performs conformance tests to ensure network nodes comply with current EIRP masks by monitoring EIRP levels over a range of angles, receiving interference signals from victim nodes, and requesting compliance adjustments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If network nodes are deployed to increase wireless communication capacity, then system productivity is improved, but EIRP mask compliance deteriorates leading to increased interference
Solution Approach 1:
The regulatory node continuously monitors EIRP levels of network nodes and provides feedback through compliance reports. When EIRP mask violations are detected, the system generates alerts and requests compliance adjustments, creating a closed-loop feedback mechanism that enables dynamic EIRP control while maintaining network capacity
Solution Approach 2:
A regulatory node is introduced as an intermediary between network nodes and victim nodes. This intermediary monitors EIRP levels, enforces mask compliance, and coordinates between transmitting and receiving nodes, thereby managing interference without reducing network capacity
2Measurement precision
If EIRP monitoring is performed over a range of angles to ensure compliance, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The EIRP monitoring function is segmented into discrete angular measurements across multiple directions. The regulatory node measures EIRP levels at different angles independently and combines these measurements to assess overall compliance, simplifying the monitoring process while maintaining precision
Solution Approach 2:
The regulatory node is designed with multi-functional capabilities, performing EIRP monitoring, compliance assessment, reporting, and coordination functions within a single device. This universal design consolidates complexity rather than distributing it across multiple specialized components
3Reliability
If continuous EIRP monitoring is implemented to maintain compliance, then reliability is improved, but use of energy increases
Solution Approach 1:
EIRP monitoring is implemented as a periodic operation rather than continuous monitoring. The regulatory node monitors EIRP levels at defined intervals and generates compliance reports periodically, maintaining reliability while reducing energy consumption compared to continuous monitoring
Solution Approach 2:
Network nodes are empowered to self-assess their EIRP compliance based on monitoring data and automatically adjust their transmission parameters when violations are detected. This self-service approach reduces the energy burden on the regulatory node while maintaining system reliability

AI summary
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A regulatory node may maintain bidirectional communications between potential aggressor nodes and potential victim nodes to enable compliance with power regulations of a given environment. For example, the regulatory node may obtain equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) information corresponding to an environment in which a first node is located, where the EIRP information may include respective permissible EIRP levels over a range of angles relative to the environment. The regulatory node may monitor during a first duration, an EIRP level of a set of beams of the first node over the range of angles in accordance with the EIRP information. As such, the regulatory node may output a first compliance report associated with the first time duration, where the first compliance report indicates whether one or more of the beams conforms to the EIRP information.
