Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In radio access networks, especially with a large number of network access nodes, existing technologies face challenges in maximizing data throughput due to limitations in channel conditions and antenna correlation, which affect the efficiency of data transmission to terminal devices.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of 3D modulation with beam hopping, where each network access node is assigned a unique digital bit pattern, allowing terminal devices to identify and combine transmission sources, thereby optimizing modulation orders and improving data throughput by encoding additional data bits based on available network access nodes.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the number of network access nodes is increased to enhance data throughput, then data throughput is improved, but device complexity and difficulty of detecting and measuring transmissions increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies spatial modulation by using the spatial dimension (different network access nodes) as an additional encoding dimension. Each network access node is assigned a unique identifying property, allowing the terminal device to detect which node transmitted and decode additional bits from the spatial dimension, thereby increasing throughput without proportionally increasing complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses identifying properties (analogous to color changes) for each network access node transmission. These identifying properties enable the terminal device to distinguish between different transmission sources and decode additional encoded bits, transforming the identification challenge into a useful encoding mechanism
2Productivity
If additional bits are encoded via signal properties to increase data throughput, then data throughput is improved, but measurement precision and difficulty of detecting transmissions worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter of using identifying properties (such as signal characteristics) as encodable bits. By modifying the transmission to include these identifiable properties and assigning them specific bit patterns, the system encodes additional information without fundamentally altering the detection mechanism, thus maintaining measurement precision while increasing throughput
3Productivity
If the modulation order is optimized based on available network access nodes, then data throughput is improved, but computational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by having the terminal device detect and process only the identifying properties of the transmitting network access node rather than analyzing all possible node characteristics. This selective detection approach encodes additional bits efficiently while keeping computational complexity manageable by focusing on specific, predetermined identifying properties
