Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional transmitting apparatuses experience performance degradation of 0.02 dB to 2 dB due to the transmission of TxID signals, which appear as noise in receiving apparatuses, affecting decoding performance.

Innovation Solution

A receiving apparatus with a TxID detection unit, processing unit, and reduction unit that changes the frequency band of the TxID signal and reduces its impact from the received signal, and a transmitting apparatus that determines TxID transmission and generates additional parity bits for improved decoding performance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If TxID signal is transmitted in the preamble symbol position, then transmitter identification and location-based services are enabled, but decoding performance degrades by 0.02 dB to 2 dB due to the TxID appearing as noise

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmitter identification capabilityVSAvoiddecoding performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The harmful TxID signal components are extracted and removed from the received signal before decoding. The receiving apparatus detects the TxID signal in the preamble, extracts it using correlation processing, and subtracts it from the received signal to prevent it from degrading the decoding performance of subsequent data symbols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The receiving apparatus performs preliminary detection and removal of the TxID signal from the preamble before the main decoding process. By anticipating and eliminating the harmful interference in advance, the system prevents the 0.02-2 dB performance degradation that would otherwise occur during decoding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

2Reliability

If additional parity bits are generated and transmitted in separate frames, then decoding performance is improved through enhanced error correction, but transmission overhead and frame structure complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedecoding performanceVSAvoidframe structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Additional parity bits for L1 signaling are generated and transmitted in advance in a first frame, before the main L1 signaling data is transmitted in subsequent frames. This preliminary transmission of redundancy information allows the receiver to perform more robust error correction without complicating the overall frame structure, as the additional parity is integrated into the existing frame format.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
