Solution Overview

Problem

The management of sensing by proxy processes in wireless communication systems is challenging, particularly in scenarios where a device needs to establish a sensing process using another device as a proxy, requiring efficient methods to report the results of measurement setups and processes.

Innovation Solution

A sensing method and device are developed to transmit information about the result of establishing a sensing process by a proxy, allowing a sensing by proxy device to report to a requester, including successful or failed measurement setups and processes, and to manage the termination of these processes effectively.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a device uses another device as a proxy to establish a sensing process, then the sensing functionality can be extended to devices that cannot perform sensing themselves, but the complexity of managing the proxy sensing process increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesensing functionality extensionVSAvoidproxy process management
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a proxy device as an intermediary that mediates between the sensing requester and the sensing target. The proxy device receives sensing requests from devices that cannot perform sensing themselves, establishes sensing processes with actual sensing devices, and reports results back to the requester. This intermediary mechanism enables sensing functionality extension while managing complexity through standardized proxy request and report protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If detailed information about measurement setup and process results is reported, then the reliability of sensing operations is improved, but the amount of information to be transmitted and managed increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesensing operation reliabilityVSAvoidinformation transmission overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the sensing information into distinct components: proxy request information (containing sensing parameters and target identification), measurement setup information (containing configuration details), and measurement result information (containing sensing outcomes). This segmentation allows selective transmission of only necessary information at each stage, improving reliability through complete information exchange while managing transmission overhead through structured, modular data organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
