Solution Overview

Problem

The challenge of balancing high-power terminal operations with Specific Absorption Ratio (SAR) compliance in various regions, particularly in TDD frequency bands, is not adequately addressed by existing technologies, leading to potential violations of regional SAR limits.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that provide network devices and terminals with specific absorption ratio limit information and uplink resource control, allowing terminals to adjust power or resources to meet regional SAR requirements without restricting uplink configurations, ensuring compliance with SAR limits while maintaining operational efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the transmitting power of the terminal is increased to improve uplink coverage and rate, then the uplink performance is improved, but the SAR value increases and may violate regional SAR limits

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuplink coverage and rateVSAvoidSAR value
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic power control where the terminal adjusts its transmitting power based on real-time SAR monitoring and network feedback. The system transitions from static power settings to dynamic adjustment, allowing the terminal to operate at high power when SAR is low and reduce power when SAR approaches limits, thus resolving the contradiction between uplink performance and SAR compliance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent establishes a feedback mechanism where the terminal monitors its own SAR value and reports to the network, while the network provides power control commands based on this information. This closed-loop feedback system enables continuous adjustment of transmitting power to maintain SAR compliance while optimizing uplink performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Object-affected harmful factors

If power control commands are frequently adjusted to meet SAR limits, then SAR compliance is improved, but the complexity of power management increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveSAR complianceVSAvoidpower management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service mechanisms where the terminal autonomously monitors its SAR value and generates power control commands based on pre-configured thresholds and algorithms. This reduces the complexity of centralized power management by enabling the terminal to self-regulate within SAR limits without requiring complex external control systems

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
