Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If continuous background scanning is performed for beam tracking, then beam directionality is maintained, but time consumption and power consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a virtual three-dimensional shape around the transmitting antenna in advance and pre-divides it into multiple grids. This preliminary setup allows the system to quickly select optimal beams without performing continuous background scanning, thereby maintaining beam tracking accuracy while significantly reducing time consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent divides the virtual three-dimensional shape into multiple grids, allowing the system to selectively process only relevant segments rather than scanning the entire space. This segmentation enables efficient beam selection by focusing computational resources on specific grid regions, reducing overall processing time while maintaining tracking reliability.
2Reliability
If continuous background scanning is performed for beam tracking, then optimal beam selection is maintained, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
By pre-creating the virtual three-dimensional shape and pre-dividing it into grids, the system eliminates the need for continuous power-intensive scanning operations. The optimal beam can be selected from pre-computed grid data, maintaining tracking accuracy while dramatically reducing power consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts only the essential computational elements (virtual shape and grid structure) needed for beam tracking, separating them from the continuous scanning process. This extraction allows the system to maintain optimal beam selection using minimal computational resources, thereby reducing power consumption while preserving reliability.
3Reliability
If virtual three-dimensional shape with grids is created for beam forming, then beam directionality is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the complex three-dimensional space into manageable grid units, transforming a complex continuous optimization problem into a series of simpler discrete selections. This segmentation improves beam directionality by enabling precise control over specific spatial regions while reducing overall system complexity through modular processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a virtual three-dimensional dimension around the transmitting antenna to organize beamforming parameters spatially. This dimensional transformation provides a structured framework for improving beam directionality while managing complexity through systematic spatial organization rather than unstructured parameter optimization.
