Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If traditional communication methods are used in IoT systems, then communication reliability is maintained, but power consumption increases and cost-effectiveness decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The backscatter communication system enables IoT devices to communicate by reflecting ambient RF signals rather than generating their own signals. The tag passive modulates the reflected signal to carry data, eliminating the need for power-consuming transmitters and making the devices self-powered through harvested energy alone
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces traditional active electronic communication systems with passive backscatter modulation. Instead of using active transmitters and power amplifiers, the system uses passive reflection and modulation of ambient RF signals, fundamentally changing the communication mechanism from active to passive operation
2Adaptability or versatility
If ambient backscatter function module is added to core network, then support for ambient IoT functions is enabled, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The ambient backscatter function module is designed to provide multiple functions including data packet generation, decoding, authentication, encryption, and connection management within a single integrated component. This multi-functional design enables comprehensive ambient IoT support without proportionally increasing complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The ambient backscatter function module acts as an intermediary between the core network and passive backscatter tags. It handles all complex processing tasks including signal generation, authentication, and data management, allowing simple passive tags to communicate effectively without requiring complex onboard processing
