Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If super-resolution sensing is performed over the entire parameter search space, then sensing accuracy is improved, but computational complexity increases enormously and real-time performance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesensing accuracyVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the entire parameter search space into multiple candidate regions based on preliminary detection results. Instead of performing super-resolution sensing across the full space, the system segments the search area and focuses computational resources only on promising candidate regions, thereby maintaining sensing accuracy while dramatically reducing computational complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies super-resolution sensing selectively to specific local regions (candidate regions) rather than uniformly across the entire parameter space. By concentrating computational effort on locally identified areas of interest, the system achieves high sensing accuracy where needed while avoiding unnecessary computations in other areas, thus resolving the contradiction between accuracy and complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the parameter search space into candidate regions using preliminary detection, enabling the system to perform super-resolution sensing only on relevant portions. This segmentation approach maintains high sensing accuracy while reducing overall computation time, thereby improving real-time performance

AI summary

This application provides a sensing method and an apparatus, to reduce a computational amount of a communication system, relating to the field of wireless communication technologies. In the method, a first communication apparatus receives super-resolution capability information from i second communication apparatuses, where the super-resolution capability information indicates sensing resolution of the second communication apparatus, and i is an integer greater than or equal to 2. The first communication apparatus obtains information about a super-resolution region, where the super-resolution region is used by the i second communication apparatuses to perform super-resolution sensing, and the super-resolution region is determined by a third communication apparatus with optimal sensing resolution in the i second communication apparatuses. The first communication apparatus sends the information about the super-resolution region. Based on the foregoing solution, the first communication apparatus may determine the information about the super-resolution region, so that the second communication apparatus may perform super-resolution sensing in the super-resolution region, to reduce operation complexity and improve sensing efficiency while ensuring sensing accuracy as much as possible.
