Rotating Wireless Access Point for Stable Client Alignment

Solution Overview

Problem

The stability of network connections between wireless client-side apparatus and access points is deteriorated due to changes in orientation caused by movement, leading to unstable network connections and throughput, particularly in scenarios like e-sports and live streaming where the wireless client apparatus moves relative to the access point.

Innovation Solution

A wireless access point equipped with a driving component and multiple angle indexes and beacon power regions, which adjusts its orientation to maintain maximum beacon power region alignment with the client-side apparatus by rotating based on angle information generated by the client-side apparatus.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the wireless access point maintains a fixed position and orientation, then the device complexity is low, but the network connection stability deteriorates when the wireless client-side apparatus moves or turns

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenetwork connection stabilityVSAvoidaccess point structure complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The wireless access point is transformed from a fixed structure to a dynamic one by adding a driving component that enables rotation. The access point can now adjust its orientation to face the wireless client-side apparatus as it moves or turns, maintaining optimal signal alignment. This dynamic adjustment mechanism resolves the contradiction by sacrificing structural simplicity to gain connection stability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by having the wireless client-side apparatus transmit angle information about its orientation back to the wireless access point. The access point uses this feedback information to calculate the required rotation angle and adjusts its orientation accordingly. This closed-loop feedback mechanism enables the access point to adapt to client movements and maintain stable connections.

AI summary

Wireless communication apparatus includes a wireless access point and a driving component. The wireless access point includes a plurality of angle indexes and a plurality of beacon power regions. The beacon power region where a current angle index of the plurality of angle indexes is located faces the wireless client-side apparatus which turns relative to the wireless access point after, and the wireless access point receives information of an angle to rotate generated by client-side wireless apparatus based on the included angle between the maximum beacon power region of the plurality of beacon power regions and the beacon power region corresponding to the current angle index. The wireless access point controls the driving component to drive the wireless access point to rotate by the angle to rotate according to the information of the angle to rotate so that the maximum beacon power region faces the wireless client-side apparatus.
