Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently supporting a wide range of devices with diverse data traffic profiles and requirements, particularly in providing Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC) services, due to limitations in measurement accuracy and range of radio signals compared to conventional technologies.
Innovation Solution
The system enables terminals to determine and report position information, such as angle, timing, and orientation, directly to radio nodes, allowing for dynamic configuration of communications, including beam activation, precoding, and scheduling, to improve communication efficiency and reliability.

1Area of stationary object
If radio signals are used for positioning in wireless communication systems, then coverage area and connectivity are improved, but measurement accuracy and range are insufficient compared to conventional technologies
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines radio signal-based positioning with conventional positioning technologies (GPS, cellular tower triangulation, Wi-Fi triangulation) to create a hybrid positioning system. The terminal device integrates multiple positioning methods and selectively uses the most accurate one available, thereby maintaining wide coverage while improving positioning accuracy beyond what radio signals alone can provide.
2Productivity
If position information is reported directly to radio nodes for dynamic configuration, then communication efficiency and reliability are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal device autonomously determines its position information using various positioning methods and directly reports this information to the radio node without requiring complex network coordination. The terminal self-manages the positioning process, selecting appropriate methods and formatting reports, which simplifies the overall system architecture while maintaining high communication efficiency.
