Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Determining and optimizing radio frequency (RF) coverage in specific geographical areas is challenging due to various physical and environmental factors, making it difficult for users to position or configure RF devices effectively, and existing methods often consume excessive system resources and bandwidth.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that divide a floor plan into grids, calculate RF coverage for each grid, and provide incremental data updates to clients using AJAX technology, reducing bandwidth consumption and optimizing RF coverage display by processing and rendering RF coverage information efficiently.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If RF coverage data is provided to clients using traditional methods, then complete coverage information is displayed, but excessive bandwidth is consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The floor plan is divided into multiple grids, and RF coverage data is provided incrementally for each grid rather than transmitting the complete coverage information at once. This segmentation allows the system to transmit only the necessary data portions, reducing bandwidth consumption while maintaining information completeness through sequential data delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides RF coverage data periodically in incremental updates rather than continuously or all at once. Each grid's coverage data is transmitted in discrete periodic cycles, allowing efficient bandwidth utilization while ensuring complete information is eventually delivered to the client.
2Loss of energy
If incremental data updates are provided to clients, then bandwidth consumption is reduced, but data processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the floor plan into grids and providing incremental data for each grid, the system reduces the amount of data transmitted at any given time. This segmentation simplifies the data processing requirements compared to handling complete coverage datasets, while still maintaining the ability to reconstruct full coverage information from the incremental updates.

AI summary
A method for optimizing RF coverage includes dividing a floor plan according to a plurality of grids. Radio frequency coverage for each of the plurality of grids is calculated to render a plurality of coverages. First data representative of the plurality of coverage grids is provided to a client. Second data representative of an incremental change in radio frequency coverage for a first grid of the plurality of grids is provided to the client.
