1Productivity
If integrated sensing and communication systems are implemented to enable devices to obtain and process sensing data, then communication efficiency and resource utilization are improved, but device complexity and data processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines sensing functions and communication functions into a single integrated system. The device uses the same transceiver and processor to perform both sensing operations (obtaining sensing data about objects, locations, or areas) and communication operations (exchanging data with other devices), thereby improving resource utilization and communication efficiency while reducing the need for separate dedicated hardware components.
Solution Approach 2:
The transceiver and processor are designed to serve multiple functions: they can transmit and receive both communication signals and sensing signals, process both communication data and sensing data, and validate events based on sensing information. This multi-functionality reduces device complexity by eliminating the need for separate dedicated sensing hardware while maintaining both communication and sensing capabilities.
2Reliability
If devices validate events based on sensing data from multiple sources, then reliability and accuracy of event detection are improved, but data processing time and computational load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The device performs preliminary processing of sensing data by obtaining first sensing data from another device and second sensing data from its own sensor, then validates events by comparing these pre-acquired datasets before final event detection. This preliminary action allows the system to prepare validation criteria in advance, reducing the computational load during critical event detection moments and minimizing processing time delays.
Solution Approach 2:
The device uses its own sensor to obtain second sensing data that serves as a reference or validation source for the first sensing data received from another device. By using its own sensing capability to verify external sensing data, the device performs self-validation, improving reliability while reducing the need for complex external verification systems and minimizing processing time through autonomous validation.
3Reliability
If sensing data is transmitted between devices to enable event validation, then connectivity and collaboration are improved, but energy consumption and network overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges sensing data transmission with communication data transmission, allowing the device to share sensing information (first sensing data) with other devices using the same communication channel. By combining sensing and communication functions, the system improves connectivity and collaboration for event validation while reducing energy consumption compared to operating separate dedicated sensing transmission systems.
