Communication Apparatus Dynamic WLAN Channel Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication apparatuses struggle to automatically adjust frequency channels and transmission power for wireless local area network (WLAN) communication when a user crosses international borders, as they rely on user-initiated country information acquisition and cannot control these settings dynamically during ongoing communication with other devices.
Innovation Solution
A communication apparatus equipped with a control unit that acquires country information via mobile communication and adjusts WLAN frequency channels and transmission power based on this information, ensuring compliance with local regulations without user intervention, even during ongoing communication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the communication apparatus uses fixed WLAN settings at startup, then the device complexity is reduced, but the adaptability to different countries' regulations deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic adjustment of WLAN frequency channels and transmission power based on real-time country information obtained through mobile communication. The control unit continuously monitors country code changes and automatically adjusts communication parameters, transforming the system from static to dynamic operation to adapt to different national regulations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback loop where the control unit receives country information from the mobile communication unit, processes the country code, and automatically adjusts WLAN settings accordingly. This closed-loop feedback mechanism ensures the communication apparatus continuously adapts to the current country's regulations without user intervention.
2Ease of operation
If the communication apparatus automatically acquires country information during WLAN communication, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit is designed to perform multiple functions: it manages both mobile communication and WLAN communication, processes country information from mobile networks, and automatically adjusts WLAN parameters. This multi-functional design consolidates what would otherwise require separate dedicated components, managing complexity through functional integration.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication apparatus automatically acquires and processes country information without requiring user initiation or manual configuration. The control unit autonomously monitors country code changes through mobile communication and adjusts WLAN settings independently, making the system self-sufficient and improving ease of operation.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the communication apparatus adjusts settings during ongoing communication, then the adaptability to country changes is improved, but the reliability of continuous communication may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts WLAN frequency channels and transmission power during ongoing communication based on real-time country information. This dynamic adaptation allows the apparatus to maintain regulatory compliance while communicating, balancing adaptability with communication continuity through controlled parameter changes.
