Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional feedback mechanisms are used in wireless communication systems, then system simplicity is maintained, but communication quality optimization and efficiency improvement are hampered

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication efficiencyVSAvoidfeedback mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The feedback mechanism is segmented into distinct components: feedback reports containing measurement data, downlink feedback indicators (DFI) for targeted feedback delivery, and separate measurement configuration messages. This segmentation allows efficient feedback collection and delivery while maintaining system organization and manageability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediate feedback reports as mediators between the measurement process and final communication optimization decisions. These reports carry measurement results from UEs to the network, enabling indirect optimization without requiring direct complex interactions between all system components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If no feedback reporting mechanism is implemented, then system complexity remains low, but real-time adjustments and resource allocation optimization cannot be achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication qualityVSAvoidfeedback report envelope structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The feedback report envelope is designed as a universal structure that can carry multiple types of measurement data and feedback information. This multi-functional envelope can accommodate different measurement configurations, report types, and data formats, reducing the need for separate specialized structures for each feedback scenario

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

Measurement configurations and feedback report structures are pre-defined and established before actual measurements occur. This preliminary setup includes defining report formats, measurement parameters, and delivery mechanisms in advance, allowing the system to immediately begin optimized operations without complex real-time negotiations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If detailed feedback reports are transmitted frequently, then communication quality can be optimized in real-time, but system overhead and resource consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation efficiencyVSAvoidfeedback transmission energy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

Feedback reports are transmitted periodically at configured intervals rather than continuously or on every event. This periodic feedback mechanism balances the need for timely communication quality optimization with the constraint of limiting transmission frequency to reduce energy consumption and system overhead

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts feedback report parameters such as reporting frequency, measurement types, and detail levels based on current communication conditions and requirements. When communication quality is stable, reporting frequency is reduced to save energy; when optimization is needed, more detailed and frequent reports are transmitted

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects. a user equipment (UE) may receive a downlink message at a modem of the UE. The UE may provide the downlink message from the modem to a circuit card. The UE may transmit. from the modem, relay protocol feedback for the downlink message based on a response from the circuit card. The UE may provide a control protocol (CP) feedback report envelope that indicates a CP feedback status. Numerous other aspects are described.
