Solution Overview

Problem

In wireless communication systems, the efficiency of channel transmission is reduced due to remote nodes transmitting reverse channels without considering the channel state, leading to unnecessary power consumption and limited transmission performance.

Innovation Solution

A method where a remote node intermittently receives a forward channel, estimates the state of the reverse channel based on the received forward channel, and adaptively transmits the reverse channel only when the channel state meets a preset condition, optimizing power usage and transmission performance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the remote node continuously transmits the reverse channel to ensure reliable communication, then the reliability of communication is improved, but the power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The remote node performs channel measurement periodically rather than continuously, measuring the forward channel at specific intervals and using these periodic measurements to adaptively control reverse channel transmission. This periodic measurement approach reduces power consumption while maintaining communication reliability through adaptive transmission based on measured channel conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by measuring the forward channel state and using this information to adaptively control the reverse channel transmission. The remote node measures the forward channel, estimates the reverse channel state, and adjusts transmission accordingly, creating a closed-loop feedback mechanism that optimizes both reliability and power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If the remote node continuously measures the forward channel to maintain accurate channel state information, then the transmission performance is improved, but the power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechannel state accuracyVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The remote node measures the forward channel periodically at predetermined intervals rather than continuously. This periodic measurement reduces power consumption by keeping the receiver off between measurement periods, while still maintaining sufficient channel state accuracy for adaptive transmission control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs channel measurement in advance at specific intervals and stores the measured channel state information. This preliminary measurement approach allows the remote node to have accurate channel state information available when needed for reverse channel transmission decisions, without requiring continuous measurement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Speed

If the remote node transmits the reverse channel without considering channel state to ensure timely response, then the speed of communication is improved, but the transmission performance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse speedVSAvoidtransmission performance
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The remote node performs preliminary channel measurement and estimates the reverse channel state before transmitting. This preliminary action of measuring the forward channel and estimating channel conditions allows the node to make informed transmission decisions, ensuring both timely response and optimal transmission performance based on actual channel state.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts reverse channel transmission based on measured channel state. Rather than using a fixed transmission strategy, the remote node adapts its transmission behavior according to the estimated reverse channel conditions, optimizing transmission performance while maintaining responsive communication.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
