Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a fixed antenna is used to perform sensing service, then device complexity is reduced, but sensing performance degrades due to changing environmental conditions and target statuses

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveantenna configuration complexityVSAvoidsensing performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic antenna selection where the sensing device switches between different antennas based on real-time target information and environmental conditions. The network-side device determines antenna selection information dynamically and sends it to the sensing device, enabling the system to adapt to changing sensing conditions while maintaining manageable complexity through centralized control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If antenna selection is implemented based on target information, then sensing performance improves, but device complexity increases due to additional control mechanisms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesensing performanceVSAvoidantenna selection control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The network-side device serves as an intermediary that centralizes the antenna selection decision-making process. It receives target information, determines the appropriate antenna selection information, and sends it to the sensing device. This intermediary approach improves sensing performance through informed antenna selection while managing complexity by centralizing the control logic in the network-side device rather than distributing it across multiple sensing devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If adaptive antenna selection is implemented, then sensing accuracy improves, but information processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesensing accuracyVSAvoidinformation processing load
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential target information needed for antenna selection from the complete sensing data set. The network-side device determines antenna selection information based on relevant target characteristics without processing the entire data set, thereby improving sensing accuracy through selective information use while reducing the overall information processing load.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
