Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If random resource selection is used for ambient IoT devices, then device complexity is reduced, but collision probability increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by performing channel sensing and measuring channel busy ratio (CBR) values before selecting communication resources. This pre-assessment of channel conditions allows devices to make informed random selections, reducing collisions while maintaining low device complexity. The sensing phase occurs in advance of actual resource selection and transmission.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where devices measure CBR values and use this information to adjust their resource selection probability. The measured channel conditions feed back into the resource selection process, creating a closed-loop system that dynamically adapts to reduce collisions while keeping device complexity manageable through standardized procedures.
2Reliability
If channel sensing and resource selection optimization are implemented, then transmission reliability is improved, but processing time and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by implementing selective channel sensing where devices measure CBR values and use this partial information (rather than complete channel state information) to make resource selection decisions. This partial sensing approach achieves sufficient transmission reliability improvement while minimizing the processing time and complexity overhead.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes parameter changes by dynamically adjusting resource selection probability based on measured CBR values. When channel conditions are good (low CBR), devices can select resources more aggressively; when conditions deteriorate (high CBR), selection becomes more conservative. This parameter-based adaptation improves reliability without requiring complex processing.
3Productivity
If more communication resources are allocated to reduce collisions, then network performance improves, but resource availability for other devices decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting the probability of resource selection based on measured channel busy ratio values. Instead of statically allocating more resources, the system changes the selection parameters probabilistically, allowing efficient utilization of available resources while reducing collisions and improving overall network performance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics through adaptive resource selection where the probability of selecting a communication resource changes dynamically based on real-time channel conditions. This dynamic approach allows the network to efficiently utilize available resources without requiring additional resource allocation, as the selection probability adapts to current network load and collision conditions.
