Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in detecting transmission signals effectively due to varying channel change rates, requiring adaptive reception schemes between coherent and non-coherent methods based on channel conditions.

Innovation Solution

A reception device and method that utilize a transceiver, first and second correlators, and a control unit to detect transmission signals by determining the channel change rate, switching between coherent and non-coherent reception schemes, and applying a Fast Hadamard Transform (FHT) structure to optimize signal detection based on channel environments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a coherent reception scheme is used, then measurement precision is improved, but reliability deteriorates in high channel change rate environments

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal detection precisionVSAvoiddetection reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic switching between coherent and non-coherent reception schemes based on detected channel change rates. The system adapts its reception mode in real-time, transitioning from coherent to non-coherent when channel conditions deteriorate, thereby maintaining both measurement precision and reliability across varying channel environments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the reception scheme parameter based on channel change rate thresholds. When the channel change rate exceeds a predetermined threshold, the system switches from coherent to non-coherent reception, effectively adjusting the detection parameter to match current channel conditions and resolve the contradiction between precision and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If a non-coherent reception scheme is used, then reliability is improved in high channel change rate environments, but measurement precision deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection reliabilityVSAvoidsignal detection precision
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically selects between non-coherent and coherent reception schemes based on real-time channel change rate detection. When channel conditions improve (low change rate), the system transitions to coherent reception to maximize measurement precision while maintaining reliability through the adaptive decision framework.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The reception scheme parameter is changed based on channel conditions. The system switches from non-coherent to coherent reception when channel change rates fall below a threshold, thereby optimizing measurement precision while the adaptive mechanism ensures reliability is maintained through appropriate scheme selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If adaptive reception scheme switching is implemented, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereception scheme adaptabilityVSAvoidreception device complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the reception device into distinct functional modules: a channel change rate detector, a decision unit that compares detected rates against thresholds, and separate coherent/non-coherent reception pathways. This modular segmentation enables adaptability while managing complexity through organized functional decomposition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The reception device incorporates multi-functional correlators that can operate in both coherent and non-coherent modes. By designing universal processing elements that perform multiple functions based on mode selection, the system achieves high adaptability without proportionally increasing overall device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
