Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If repetition transmission is implemented in satellite communication systems, then transmission reliability is improved, but transmission time is increased

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission reliabilityVSAvoidtransmission time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The base station dynamically determines the repetition transmission value based on the distance between the UE and the base station. By changing the repetition parameter according to distance, the system achieves reliable transmission for distant UEs while minimizing unnecessary repetition for nearby UEs, thus balancing reliability and time efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The repetition transmission value is not fixed but is dynamically determined by the base station based on real-time distance information. This dynamic adjustment allows the system to adapt the transmission strategy to current conditions, optimizing both reliability and time performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If capability information exchange is performed via physical random-access channel, then ease of operation is improved, but information loss may occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of capability information exchangeVSAvoidcapability information loss
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The base station receives capability information from the UE via the physical random-access channel and uses this feedback to determine the appropriate repetition transmission value. This feedback mechanism ensures that the base station has accurate information about UE capabilities while maintaining the ease of random access procedure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The base station determines the repetition transmission value based on the received capability information and distance information before actual data transmission begins. This preliminary configuration ensures that the transmission parameters are optimized in advance, preventing information loss and improving overall efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
