Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If measurement sampling rates are increased per antenna panel to improve mobility measurement accuracy, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity and processing overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and reports only the essential sampling rate information per antenna panel to the network, rather than transmitting complete measurement datasets. This selective extraction reduces data volume and processing overhead while maintaining the precision needed for mobility measurement accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the measurement reporting by antenna panel, providing separate sampling rate information for each panel individually. This segmentation allows the network to process and analyze sampling rates in a structured manner, reducing overall processing complexity while maintaining measurement precision.
2Measurement precision
If sampling rates are reported per antenna panel and per cell to improve mobility event analysis accuracy, then measurement precision is improved, but information transmission volume increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the critical sampling rate parameters and reports them selectively to the network, rather than transmitting all raw measurement data. This extraction approach maintains the necessary information for mobility event analysis while significantly reducing transmission volume.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of the network requesting detailed measurement data, the patent inverts the approach by having the UE autonomously determine and report only the essential sampling rate information. This inversion reduces the information transmission burden while maintaining analysis accuracy.
3Reliability
If configuration information for reporting sampling rates is implemented to optimize mobility parameters, then reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by having the UE autonomously configure and report sampling rate information without requiring complex network-side configuration management. The UE independently determines appropriate sampling rates and reports them, reducing the complexity burden on the network while improving reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes parameter changes by dynamically adjusting sampling rate configurations based on mobility conditions and network requirements. This flexible parameter adjustment approach improves reliability through optimized measurements without requiring complex fixed configuration systems.
