Solution Overview

Problem

In cellular networks, the location of a terminal device cannot be determined when it exists within the sensing receive and transmit devices, preventing the acquisition of sensing information for the sensing target.

Innovation Solution

A terminal device provides its location information to a first device, which is used to determine the locations of the sensing receive and transmit devices, enabling the determination of the sensing target's location and subsequent acquisition of sensing information.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a terminal device exists in the sensing receive device and the sensing transmit device, then the sensing signal transmission and echo signal reception can be performed, but the sensing control network element cannot acquire the location of the terminal device, preventing acquisition of sensing information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereliability of acquiring sensing informationVSAvoidlocation information of terminal device
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a location information acquisition module as an intermediary component that bridges the gap between the terminal device and the sensing control network element. This module specifically acquires location information of the terminal device and provides it to the sensing control network element, enabling the network element to obtain the previously unavailable location data without changing the core sensing architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If the sensing control network element uses only sensing receive device and sensing transmit device locations, then the system structure remains simple, but the sensing target location cannot be accurately determined when terminal devices are involved

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the information acquisition function into distinct modules: a location information acquisition module that specifically handles terminal device location data, and the existing sensing control network element that processes sensing data. This segmentation allows the system to accurately determine sensing target location by combining terminal device location with sensing data, while keeping each module's complexity manageable through clear functional separation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
