Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces beam offset indication information as an intermediary element that mediates between the satellite beam offset operation and terminal communication. The network side device determines beam offset parameters and indicates them to terminals through signaling mechanisms, enabling terminals to adapt their communication processes to the offset beam conditions, thus maintaining reliability while allowing beam offset for interference avoidance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter state by introducing beam offset indication information that conveys parameters such as beam offset angle to terminals. This parameter transmission enables terminals to adjust their communication processes according to the actual beam offset state, resolving the contradiction between beam offset operation and terminal communication reliability
