Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If polarization is used in wireless communications networks, then data transmission capacity is improved, but polarization mismatch errors occur leading to transmission inefficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where user equipment reports polarization capability information to the network device. The network device uses this feedback to determine appropriate polarization types for downlink and uplink transmissions, ensuring alignment between transmitter and receiver polarization settings, thereby preventing polarization mismatch errors while maintaining high data transmission capacity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent dynamically changes polarization parameters (polarization types) based on network conditions and device capabilities. The network device configures different polarization types for serving cells and handover procedures, adapting the polarization state to optimize both transmission capacity and reliability for each specific communication scenario
2Reliability
If polarization configuration is implemented for handover procedures, then transmission quality is improved, but signaling overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by configuring polarization types in advance during the handover preparation phase. The target cell's polarization configuration is determined and communicated to the user equipment before the actual handover occurs, ensuring seamless transition without requiring additional real-time signaling, thus maintaining transmission quality while minimizing signaling overhead
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the polarization configuration mechanism universal by applying the same configuration approach across different scenarios: serving cell setup, handover procedures, and polarization multiplexing modes. This unified method reduces the need for scenario-specific signaling and simplifies the overall control architecture
