Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the network side device schedules backscatter communication terminals without capability information, then the scheduling process is simple, but communication performance is suboptimal and interference occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication performanceVSAvoidscheduling complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal reports its capability information (energy supply manner, modulation mode, etc.) to the network side device in advance before scheduling begins. This preliminary action enables the network side device to have complete capability information ready for optimal scheduling, resolving the contradiction between simple scheduling and optimal performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If the terminal reports detailed capability information, then the network side device can optimize scheduling, but the reporting process increases system complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem efficiencyVSAvoidreporting complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent defines specific capability parameters (energy supply manner, modulation mode) that the terminal should report. By standardizing these parameters, the system achieves efficient optimization without excessive complexity in the reporting process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If the network side device lacks capability information about terminal energy supply and modulation modes, then device complexity is low, but communication reliability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidcapability information
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal provides feedback information about its capabilities (energy supply manner, modulation mode) to the network side device. This feedback mechanism ensures the network side device has accurate capability information to make reliable scheduling decisions, eliminating information loss while maintaining manageable system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
