Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless LAN technologies face challenges in supporting wideband transmission and improving throughput, reliability, and reducing latency, particularly in environments requiring increased bandwidth and low latency for real-time traffic.

Innovation Solution

The method involves generating and transmitting a Physical Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) with a 480 MHz bandwidth, composed of three 160 MHz bandwidths, utilizing non-orthogonal frequency division multiple access (non-OFDMA) for enhanced transmission efficiency.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If conventional bandwidth transmission is used, then device complexity is reduced, but throughput is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovethroughputVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The 480 MHz bandwidth is segmented into three separate 160 MHz bandwidths, allowing the system to achieve wideband throughput while managing complexity through modular processing of each segment independently

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If OFDMA transmission is used, then bandwidth utilization is improved, but latency increases for real-time traffic

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebandwidth utilizationVSAvoidlatency
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically selects between OFDMA and non-OFDMA transmission modes based on traffic requirements, using non-OFDMA for low-latency real-time traffic while maintaining the ability to use OFDMA for other traffic types

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
