Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication standards, such as IEEE 802.11, face challenges in accurately evaluating and deploying complex features in real-world scenarios due to a conservative approach, leading to inefficiencies in performance and a disparity between simulations and real deployments, particularly in dense environments, particularly due to a conservative approach for parameter selection, which can lead to inefficient and suboptimal network performance.
Innovation Solution
A server-based setting of wireless communication parameters is used in conjunction with a wireless communication device, which can be configured to dynamically adjust and optimize WLAN settings based on real-time network conditions, ensuring efficient and optimal performance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a conservative approach is used for parameter selection in wireless communication standards, then reliability is improved, but productivity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic parameter adjustment where the Access Point continuously monitors network conditions (traffic load, interference levels, channel quality) and adapts WLAN parameters in real-time. This transforms the static conservative parameters into dynamic values that optimize performance for current conditions, resolving the contradiction between reliability and productivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback loop where network performance metrics are continuously measured and used to adjust parameters. The Access Point receives feedback about actual network conditions and modifies parameters accordingly, enabling the system to maintain reliability while improving productivity through data-driven optimization.
2Stability of the object's composition
If a conservative approach is used for parameter selection, then stability is improved, but adaptability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes parameters dynamic rather than static, allowing them to adapt to changing network conditions. The Access Point adjusts parameters based on real-time measurements of traffic patterns, interference, and channel quality, enabling the system to maintain stability through controlled adaptation rather than rigid conservatism.
Solution Approach 2:
The system systematically changes parameters based on measured network conditions. By monitoring key metrics and adjusting parameters such as transmission power, channel selection, and modulation schemes, the system achieves both stability through methodical adjustment and adaptability to varying environments.
3Ease of operation
If default parameter settings are used, then ease of operation is improved, but performance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The Access Point performs self-configuration by automatically monitoring network conditions and adjusting parameters without manual intervention. This self-service capability maintains ease of operation while achieving optimized performance, as the system autonomously adapts to its environment rather than requiring manual tuning or accepting default suboptimal settings.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from network performance monitoring to automatically adjust parameters. This closed-loop control enables the Access Point to optimize performance autonomously while maintaining ease of operation, as users do not need to manually configure parameters and the system continuously adapts based on measured conditions.

AI summary
For example, an apparatus may include logic and circuitry configured to cause a parameter-setting server to establish a connection with a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) station (STA). For example, the parameter-setting server may be configured to send WLAN parameter-setting information to the WLAN STA via the connection with the WLAN STA. For example, the WLAN parameter-setting information may be configured to indicate a setting of one or more WLAN parameters to be implemented by the WLAN STA for communication in a WLAN. For example, the WLAN STA may be configured to process the WLAN parameter-setting information from the parameter-setting server to identify the setting of the one or more WLAN parameters to be implemented by the WLAN STA. For example, the WLAN STA may be configured to communicate one or more transmissions in the WLAN, for example, according to the setting of the one or more WLAN parameters.
