Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing coverage extension techniques in wireless communication waste resources due to inefficient repetitive signal transmission, either leading to unnecessary resource consumption or communication failure if the transmission count is insufficient.
Innovation Solution
A communication apparatus that specifies the optimal resource amount by detecting signals and transmitting predetermined signals corresponding to different resource amounts, such as frequency and time, to ensure reliable communication while minimizing resource waste.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If repetitive signal transmission is used to extend coverage, then communication reliability is improved, but resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent dynamically adjusts the repetition count based on the detected signal strength and coverage conditions. The terminal determines the appropriate repetition count through interaction with the base station, increasing it only when necessary for coverage extension rather than using a fixed high repetition count always, thus optimizing the balance between reliability and resource consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of repetition count dynamically based on communication conditions. By detecting signal characteristics and adjusting the repetition count parameter accordingly, the system achieves reliable communication when needed while minimizing resource waste when the signal is already sufficient, resolving the contradiction between reliability improvement and resource consumption increase.
2Reliability
If repetitive signal transmission is used to extend coverage, then communication reliability is improved, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent dynamically adjusts the repetition count based on real-time signal detection and coverage conditions. The terminal determines the minimum necessary repetition count through interaction with the base station, avoiding unnecessary repeated transmissions that would waste time, while ensuring sufficient repetitions for reliable communication when coverage extension is needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of repetition count dynamically based on communication conditions. By detecting signal characteristics and adjusting the repetition count parameter accordingly, the system achieves reliable communication when needed while minimizing time waste when the signal is already sufficient, resolving the contradiction between reliability improvement and time consumption increase.
3Reliability
If a fixed high repetition count is used, then communication reliability is ensured, but resource waste increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent dynamically adjusts the repetition count based on the detected signal strength and coverage conditions. The terminal determines the appropriate repetition count through interaction with the base station, increasing it only when necessary for coverage extension rather than using a fixed high repetition count always, thus optimizing the balance between reliability and resource consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the terminal detects signal characteristics and provides information to the base station about communication conditions. Based on this feedback, the system adjusts the repetition count dynamically, ensuring reliable communication when needed while avoiding resource waste when the signal is already sufficient, resolving the contradiction between ensuring reliability and preventing resource waste.
