Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In wireless communication systems, especially in future 5G systems like NR, the stability of beam pair links is compromised due to environmental factors and mobility, leading to deteriorated or failed links, particularly at high frequencies.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device at the base station and terminal device sides, equipped with processing circuitry, monitors the status of uplink signals and adjusts the uplink beam pair links by adjusting the transmitting and receiving beams, with the base station transmitting adjustment messages and receiving feedback from the terminal device to optimize the beam pair links.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If beam sweeping technology is used to establish beam pair links, then beamforming gain is achieved to compensate for radio signal loss, but the beam pair links become unstable due to environmental factors and mobility
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic beam adjustment mechanisms where the base station continuously monitors uplink signal quality and adjusts beam parameters in real-time. The processing circuitry determines when beam adjustment is needed based on signal status monitoring, transforming the static beam configuration into a dynamic system that adapts to changing environmental conditions and mobility scenarios
Solution Approach 2:
The patent establishes a feedback loop where the base station monitors uplink signal status, determines beam adjustment needs, sends adjustment messages to the terminal device, and receives feedback on the adjustment results. This closed-loop feedback mechanism enables continuous optimization of beam pair links, allowing the system to respond to signal degradation and maintain link stability
2Adaptability or versatility
If the number of antenna ports is increased to hundreds for Massive MIMO system, then beamforming application space is expanded, but the complexity of beam management and link maintenance increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service mechanisms where the terminal device autonomously performs beam adjustments based on instructions from the base station. The processing circuitry at both ends automatically monitors signal status and executes beam parameter adjustments without requiring manual intervention or complex centralized control, reducing the operational complexity of managing large-scale antenna systems
