Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing mechanisms for WLAN sensing measurement reports lack clear definitions of sensing measurement report frames, particularly in terms of timestamp information, which hinders accurate and timely reporting of measurement results.
Innovation Solution
A communication method and apparatus that include timestamp information in the sensing measurement report frame to identify the receiving or sending time of the frame, ensuring a one-to-one correspondence with the report result, allowing for precise and aggregated reporting.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If timestamp information is added to sensing measurement report frames, then measurement precision and timeliness are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the sensing measurement report mechanism by introducing distinct timestamp information fields that separately identify sending time and receiving time. This segmentation allows precise temporal tracking of measurement data without conflating different time points, thereby improving measurement precision while maintaining manageable frame structure through organized time-stamping.
2Reliability
If one-to-one correspondence between timestamp information and measurement results is established, then reliability is improved, but information processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where timestamp information is systematically recorded and correlated with measurement results. The access point receives measurement reports with embedded timestamps and uses this temporal information to verify data integrity and maintain accurate correspondence between measurements and time points, thereby improving reliability through structured feedback loops.
3Productivity
If clear definition of sensing measurement report frame structure is provided, then productivity is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by introducing standardized timestamp fields with specific formats and meanings (sending time, receiving time) into the sensing measurement report frame structure. This parameter standardization enables efficient processing and clear definition of frame structures, improving productivity through consistent temporal parameter recording while managing complexity through standardized parameter specifications.
