Dynamic Zone Profile Adaptation for Mobile Radio Reliability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile radio communication systems face challenges in maintaining accurate zone definitions and reliability due to varying radio conditions, often requiring zone expansion which increases size undesirably, and lack the ability to refine zone definitions dynamically based on ongoing radio measurements.
Innovation Solution
The system collects and analyzes radio signal parameter measurements to refine zone definitions by modifying or adding elements to the zone profile, ensuring minimal increase in zone size while maintaining reliability, by identifying dominant and missing elements relative to existing low-priority or missing elements within the zone.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If zone definitions are expanded to accommodate varying radio conditions, then zone reliability is improved, but zone size increases undesirably
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic zone profile adaptation by continuously monitoring radio measurements and automatically modifying zone definitions. The system transitions from static zone definitions to dynamic ones that adapt to changing radio conditions, using algorithms to detect when radio measurements indicate boundary conditions and automatically adjust the zone profile to maintain reliability without permanent expansion.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameters of zone definitions based on measured radio conditions. By monitoring radio signal strength and quality parameters, the system dynamically adjusts zone boundary parameters and internal characteristics, allowing the zone to maintain appropriate size while adapting to varying radio environments through parameter modification rather than fixed expansion.
2Reliability
If zone definitions are refined dynamically based on ongoing radio measurements, then zone reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service through automatic zone profile adaptation. The mobile device autonomously monitors its own radio measurements and triggers zone profile modifications based on predefined criteria, eliminating the need for manual intervention or complex external coordination. The device serves itself by detecting boundary conditions and automatically adjusting its zone definition.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where radio measurements continuously inform zone definition adjustments. The system monitors radio signal parameters, compares them against thresholds, and uses this feedback to trigger profile adaptations. This closed-loop feedback system maintains reliability through automated adjustment while keeping complexity manageable through rule-based decision logic.
3Measurement precision
If zone definitions are modified based on radio measurements, then zone detection accuracy is improved, but loss of information increases due to dynamic changes
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by establishing baseline zone profiles and pre-defining adaptation criteria before dynamic modification occurs. By pre-establishing the framework for zone definitions and the conditions under which modifications should occur, the system maintains information stability while enabling accurate detection through controlled adaptation when measurements indicate boundary conditions.

AI summary
Methods and systems of updating a zone profile comprising obtaining a plurality of radio signal parameter measurements and, if the plurality of radio signal parameter measurements contains at least one measurement corresponding to a dominant element of the zone profile and if the plurality of radio signal parameter measurements contains at least one measurement corresponding to a candidate element (e.g., statistically unlikely element) of the zone profile, updating the profile by either adjusting an existing parameter value or by adding a new element to the zone profile corresponding to the candidate element.
