VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If FEC parameters are transmitted to ensure correct data decoding, then data transmission reliability is improved, but spectrum resource utilization deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission reliabilityVSAvoidspectrum resource utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables the receiving end to autonomously determine the FEC coding type by detecting data length and using pre-stored correspondence relationships, eliminating the need for parameter transmission and achieving self-service decoding without external assistance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The correspondence relationships between data length ranges and FEC coding types are pre-established and stored in both transmitting and receiving ends before actual data transmission, enabling rapid determination without real-time parameter exchange

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Device complexity

If a single FEC coding type is used for all data lengths, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability to different data scenarios deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoding type management complexityVSAvoidadaptability to different data lengths
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The data length space is segmented into multiple ranges, with each range corresponding to a specific FEC coding type, allowing the system to adapt to different data lengths while maintaining manageable complexity through structured classification

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the FEC coding type parameter based on the data length parameter, automatically selecting the appropriate coding scheme (e.g., first FEC coding type for shorter data, second FEC coding type for longer data) without requiring complex manual configuration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
