Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If transmission power control is implemented in existing networks, then communication quality can be improved, but impartiality with adjacent networks and overall network performance deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges transmission power control functionality across multiple base stations by enabling them to share communication situation information and coordinate their control actions. This allows adjacent networks to work together rather than independently, achieving both improved communication quality and maintained impartiality through unified control.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces communication situation information sharing as an intermediary mechanism between base stations. This intermediary allows base stations to understand each other's communication states and adjust their transmission power accordingly, preventing harmful interference while maintaining overall network performance and impartiality.
2Reliability
If transmission power control is implemented in existing networks, then communication quality can be improved, but overall network performance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where base stations share communication situation information and adjust transmission power based on the collective state of the network. This feedback loop ensures that power control decisions consider overall network performance, preventing local optimizations that would harm global productivity while still improving communication quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes transmission power control dynamic by continuously exchanging communication situation information between base stations and adjusting power levels based on real-time network conditions. This dynamic approach allows the network to adapt to changing conditions, maintaining both high communication quality and overall network performance.

AI summary
The present technology relates to a communication apparatus and a communication method that can improve a communication characteristic. The communication apparatus is a base station and includes a control section configured to determine, on the basis of first communication situation information regarding a communication situation of the base station and second communication situation information regarding a communication situation received from another base station, whether or not it is permissible to carry out control of a communication parameter in the base station, and determine, on the basis of the first communication situation information and the second communication situation information, whether or not it is permissible to transmit first control request information regarding a control request of a communication parameter in the other base station. The present technology can be applied, for example, to a wireless LAN system.
