Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If beamforming technology is used to concentrate antenna energy, then received signal strength is enhanced, but interference to other users increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic beam management where the network device can activate or deactivate specific beams based on real-time communication conditions. The relay device receives indication information that dynamically controls beam states, allowing the system to adapt beamforming activity to current network conditions, thereby enhancing signal strength when needed while reducing interference during idle periods
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs periodic beam activation patterns where beams are activated and deactivated in structured time intervals. The network device sends indication information that establishes periodic activation configurations, allowing beamforming to operate in cycles that provide enhanced signal strength during active periods while creating regular interference-free intervals for other users
2Area of stationary object
If conventional full-stack units are deployed to provide coverage, then network coverage is improved, but deployment flexibility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the traditional full-stack base station functionality by introducing a relay device that handles specific beamforming and signal relay functions. This segmentation allows the network to deploy relay devices in locations where full-stack units are not feasible, improving deployment flexibility while maintaining network coverage through the relay's ability to receive and forward signals
Solution Approach 2:
The relay device is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a signal relay and as a beamforming unit. It can handle multiple types of indication information for different beam states and configurations, making it a versatile component that can adapt to various deployment scenarios and replace conventional full-stack units in appropriate locations
3Reliability
If beams are continuously activated to maintain communication availability, then service reliability is improved, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic beam state management where the network device sends indication information to activate or deactivate beams based on actual communication needs. The relay device transitions beams between activated and deactivated states dynamically, maintaining communication reliability when beams are activated while reducing power consumption during deactivated periods
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a beam deactivation mechanism where beams are discarded (deactivated) during periods of low or no communication demand to save energy. The network device can reactivate beams when needed by sending new indication information, allowing the system to discard and recover beam resources as conditions require, balancing reliability and power consumption
