VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If full duplex communication technology is directly applied to wireless communication system, then communication efficiency is improved, but interference between devices increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication efficiencyVSAvoidinterference between devices
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The network device performs preliminary actions by determining resource allocation information for cross-link interference measurement signals before full duplex communication occurs. This advance preparation allows terminal devices to measure and compensate for interference proactively, resolving the contradiction between maintaining high communication efficiency and reducing device interference through pre-configured resource allocation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces cross-link interference measurement signals as an intermediary mechanism. These specialized signals act as mediators that enable terminal devices to quantify and compensate for interference effects, allowing full duplex communication to proceed efficiently while systematically managing the harmful interference through measurement and compensation protocols

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If resource allocation information for cross link interference measurement signal is provided to terminal devices, then interference reduction is achieved, but network device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
