Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If beam-based communication is implemented to support high data rates, then data transmission capability is improved, but system complexity increases due to multiple spatial filters and feedback channel occasions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the feedback channel monitoring into multiple occasions, each associated with different spatial filters. This allows the system to divide the complex beam management task into manageable time-separated segments, where each occasion handles specific spatial directions independently, thus supporting high data rates while organizing system complexity in a structured manner

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic spatial filter selection across multiple feedback channel occasions. The system dynamically adjusts which spatial filters are active and when they are applied, allowing adaptive optimization of beamforming parameters based on channel conditions. This dynamic approach enables high data transmission capability while managing complexity through flexible, condition-based resource allocation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If multiple spatial filters are used for monitoring physical feedback channels, then communication reliability is improved, but processing overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidprocessing overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs periodic monitoring of physical feedback channels at multiple occasions, where each occasion corresponds to specific spatial filters. This periodic structure allows the system to reliably assess channel quality across different beams at scheduled intervals, improving communication reliability through systematic sampling while managing processing overhead by concentrating measurements at defined periods rather than continuously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary beam quality assessment at multiple feedback channel occasions before final data transmission decisions are made. By pre-evaluating channel conditions across different spatial filters and storing measurement results, the system prepares beamforming parameters in advance, ensuring reliable communication while reducing real-time processing overhead during actual data transmission

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
