Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If D2D terminal shares cellular frequency resource to improve frequency efficiency, then frequency efficiency is improved, but interference between D2D terminal and cellular terminal occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefrequency efficiencyVSAvoidinterference
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by allowing different terminals to use different frequency resources based on their specific locations and interference conditions. The base station identifies cellular terminals and allocates frequency resources to D2D terminals such that D2D terminals use frequencies different from nearby cellular terminals, while allowing frequency reuse with distant terminals. This creates locally optimized interference patterns that improve overall frequency efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the frequency resource parameter dynamically based on interference conditions. The base station receives interference information from D2D terminals, identifies affected cellular terminals, and reallocates frequency resources accordingly. This parameter change approach allows the system to adapt to varying interference conditions and maintain high frequency efficiency while controlling interference.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If base station collects channel information and allocates D2D resource centrally to improve performance, then communication performance is improved, but load of signal process on base station becomes heavy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication performanceVSAvoidbase station processing load
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the resource allocation process into two parts: D2D terminals autonomously perform initial resource selection and measure interference, then report only necessary interference information to the base station. The base station then performs targeted interference identification and coordination with specific cellular terminals. This segmentation reduces the base station's processing load while maintaining effective interference control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements self-service by enabling D2D terminals to autonomously perform resource search, interference measurement, and initial resource selection without extensive base station intervention. The terminals self-manage their resource allocation based on local conditions, reporting only critical interference information to the base station, thereby significantly reducing base station processing requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Power

If D2D terminal performs distributed resource allocation to reduce base station load, then base station load is reduced, but resource allocation cannot be easily controlled by cellular user requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebase station loadVSAvoidresource allocation control
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where D2D terminals report interference information to the base station, and the base station provides coordination decisions back to D2D terminals. The base station identifies cellular terminals affected by D2D transmission and coordinates frequency resource allocation accordingly. This feedback loop enables the base station to maintain control over resource allocation to meet cellular user requirements while keeping processing load manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
