Solution Overview

Problem

In terminal-assisted backscatter communications, there is a need for an effective method to initiate the establishment of a BSC link, which is crucial for efficient data transmission but lacks a straightforward solution in existing technologies.

Innovation Solution

The method involves a network side device transmitting first information to a first device or a BSC terminal, which receives and processes this information to initiate the BSC link, allowing for the establishment of communication and data transmission through backscattering techniques.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a terminal is used as a radio frequency source or configured to forward data in backscatter communications, then the BSC link establishment becomes more flexible and adaptable, but the device implementation complexity increases due to the lack of a straightforward initiation method

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveBSC link establishment flexibilityVSAvoiddevice implementation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The network side device acts as an intermediary to initiate BSC link establishment by sending first information to either the first device or the BSC terminal. This mediator approach simplifies the initiation process while maintaining the flexibility of terminal-assisted architectures, as the network side device coordinates the link setup without requiring complex local implementation at the terminal side

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If the network side device transmits first information to initiate BSC link establishment, then the link setup process is simplified and productivity is improved, but the use of energy by the network side device increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveBSC link establishment efficiencyVSAvoidnetwork side device energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The network side device performs preliminary action by transmitting first information to initiate BSC link establishment before actual data transmission begins. This preliminary initiation step streamlines the overall process and enables faster link setup, with the energy cost being a necessary investment to achieve the productivity improvement in link establishment speed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Use of energy by moving object

If the BSC terminal transmits tag indication information through backscattering, then the power consumption remains extremely low or zero, but the measurement precision of the transmitted information may be affected

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveBSC terminal power consumptionVSAvoidtag indication information accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The BSC terminal transmits tag indication information by backscattering, essentially creating a copy or reflection of the received radio frequency signal with modulated characteristics. This copying mechanism enables the terminal to communicate with extremely low or zero power consumption, as it does not generate its own signal but rather modulates the incoming signal from the network side device or first device

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
