Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If fixed basic communication parameters are used in existing wireless communication systems, then equipment implementation is simplified, but the system cannot support large-range changes in bandwidth, time delay, mobility, coverage, communication rate, reliability and number of users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesupport for various applications and large-range parameter changesVSAvoidcommunication parameter configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by enabling communication parameters (such as CP length, subcarrier spacing, resource block size) to be dynamically adjustable rather than fixed. The system can adapt these parameters in real-time based on network conditions, service requirements, and channel characteristics, allowing the same system to support diverse applications from low-mobility to high-mobility scenarios while maintaining manageable complexity through standardized adjustment mechanisms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements parameter changes by introducing a framework that allows fundamental communication parameters to be modified according to different service types and channel conditions. Specifically, the system can change cyclic prefix length, subcarrier spacing, and resource block granularity to optimize performance for different scenarios (e.g., extended CP for high delay spread, normal CP for low delay spread), thereby achieving versatile support without requiring completely different system configurations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If dynamic regulation of communication parameters is implemented, then system performance and applicability are improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication qualityVSAvoidparameter regulation mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies feedback by establishing a closed-loop mechanism where the system continuously monitors channel conditions, service requirements, and communication performance, then adjusts communication parameters accordingly. The network device receives feedback about channel state and service type, processes this information, and dynamically regulates parameters such as CP length and subcarrier spacing to maintain optimal communication quality and reliability across varying conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-defining a set of standardized parameter configurations and adjustment rules that can be applied based on recognized channel conditions and service types. Rather than requiring complex real-time calculations, the system uses pre-established parameter sets that are selected and applied based on feedback, reducing the computational complexity while maintaining the ability to adapt to different scenarios

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
