Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If beam tracking is performed using wireless communication method, then wireless media transmission is enabled, but beam selection requires considerable period of time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing a beam candidate group containing multiple candidate beams before actual media transmission begins. The transceiver device periodically measures link quality of these pre-selected beams and updates the candidate group, so when beam tracking is needed, the system can quickly select from already-prepared beams rather than performing comprehensive beam search from scratch, thus significantly reducing beam selection time while maintaining wireless transmission capability.
2Productivity
If beam candidate group is managed and updated periodically, then beam tracking efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the complete beam set into a manageable beam candidate group that is periodically updated rather than managing all possible beams simultaneously. The transceiver device segments the beam search process into two stages: first establishing an initial candidate group, then periodically updating it with newly measured beams. This segmentation reduces the immediate management complexity while maintaining high beam tracking efficiency through the structured update mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements periodic action by having the transceiver device periodically measure link quality of candidate beams and update the beam candidate group at predetermined intervals rather than continuously managing all beams. This periodic approach simplifies the management complexity by introducing updates only at specific moments while maintaining beam tracking efficiency through the accumulated knowledge from previous periodic measurements, avoiding the need for continuous comprehensive beam management.
