Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a station (STA) initiates sensing measurements, then sensing functionality is provided, but spectrum resource waste and increased latency occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a proxy access point (AP) as an intermediary between the station (STA) and the sensing measurement process. The proxy AP performs sensing measurements on behalf of the STA, enabling the STA to maintain sensing functionality while the proxy AP manages the actual measurement operations to reduce spectrum resource waste and latency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the sensing measurement process into distinct phases: setup phase where the proxy AP is established, measurement phase where sensing is performed, and termination phase where resources are released. This segmentation allows for efficient resource management and reduces unnecessary spectrum usage by terminating measurements that are no longer needed.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a station (STA) initiates sensing measurements, then sensing functionality is provided, but latency increases
Solution Approach 1:
The proxy AP acts as a mediator that pre-establishes sensing measurement configurations and maintains state information, allowing for faster measurement execution and reducing latency when sensing is needed, while still providing the sensing functionality requested by the STA.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary setup of sensing measurement parameters and proxy AP configuration before actual sensing measurements are needed. This preliminary action reduces the time required to initiate sensing measurements, thereby reducing latency while maintaining sensing functionality.
3Loss of energy
If proxy access point terminates sensing measurement, then resource waste is reduced, but measurement continuity is interrupted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the proxy AP monitors sensing measurement status and STA requirements. When termination is needed, the system provides feedback to properly close measurements, ensuring that interruption is controlled and organized, maintaining stability while reducing resource waste.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies discarding and recovering principles by properly terminating sensing measurements that are no longer needed (discarding unnecessary continuous measurements) while recovering and preserving measurement configurations and state information that can be reused, thereby reducing resource waste while maintaining measurement continuity where beneficial.
