Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a fixed transmission opportunity set is used for CSI reports, then system complexity is reduced, but adaptability to different energy saving scenarios, duplex modes, and interference environments deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidadaptability to different scenarios
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic transmission opportunity sets that can be flexibly configured based on different scenarios, duplex modes, and interference environments. The system allows the transmission opportunity set to adapt dynamically rather than being fixed, resolving the contradiction between system complexity and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameters of transmission opportunities (timing, frequency, resource allocation) based on different operational conditions. By adjusting these parameters dynamically, the system achieves high adaptability without requiring fundamentally different system architectures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If multiple transmission opportunities are configured for CSI reports, then CSI estimation precision is improved, but device complexity and energy consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCSI estimation precisionVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by configuring transmission opportunities selectively based on actual needs. Instead of always using multiple transmission opportunities, the system uses them only when CSI estimation precision requirements demand, thereby avoiding unnecessary device complexity and energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal transmission opportunity configuration that can serve multiple functions - providing both precise CSI estimation when needed and simplified operation when not needed. The same mechanism adapts to different precision requirements without requiring separate systems.

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

3Measurement precision

If transmission opportunities are increased for channel measurement, then CSI report accuracy is improved, but network energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCSI report accuracyVSAvoidnetwork energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic transmission opportunities for channel measurement rather than continuous measurements. By scheduling measurements periodically based on channel conditions and service requirements, the system achieves accurate CSI reports while significantly reducing network energy consumption compared to continuous monitoring.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically changes transmission parameters (timing, frequency, power) of channel measurement opportunities based on network conditions and energy saving requirements. This allows accurate CSI acquisition when needed while minimizing energy consumption during normal operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
