Solution Overview

Problem

Low energy (LE) electronic devices supporting Bluetooth Core Version 5.2 or higher face challenges in securing reliability and efficiency in broadcast isochronous stream (BIS) data transmission due to difficulties in accurately responding to environmental changes, leading to resource wastage and increased current consumption.

Innovation Solution

Classifying BIS audio PDUs based on specific criteria to ensure reliability by using different bitrates and transmission powers, allowing for dynamic adjustments in data transmission.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed bitrate and transmission power are used for BIS data transmission, then the transmission parameters are simple to manage, but the system cannot accurately respond to environmental changes leading to resource wastage and increased current consumption

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse to environmental changesVSAvoidcurrent consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic transmission parameters by classifying audio PDUs into different groups (first group with first bitrate/power, second group with second bitrate/power) and selectively applying different transmission configurations based on environmental conditions and data characteristics, enabling the system to adapt to changing conditions while managing energy consumption efficiently

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different transmission qualities to different parts of the data stream by classifying individual audio PDUs into different groups based on their characteristics and environmental conditions, allowing each PDU to be transmitted with appropriately optimized bitrate and power levels rather than using a uniform configuration for all data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If higher transmission power and bitrate are used for BIS data, then data transmission reliability is improved, but resource wastage increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission reliabilityVSAvoidresource wastage
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes transmission parameters (bitrate and power) based on PDU classification and environmental conditions by selecting from multiple predefined parameter sets (first bitrate/first power, second bitrate/second power), allowing the system to optimize the balance between reliability and energy consumption for each transmission based on actual needs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Loss of energy

If dynamic adjustments in bitrate and transmission power are implemented, then resource efficiency is improved, but the complexity of transmission control increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource wastageVSAvoidtransmission control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the audio data stream into individual PDUs and further segments them into different groups (first group, second group) based on classification criteria, allowing different transmission strategies to be applied to different segments without requiring complex continuous adjustment mechanisms for the entire stream

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
