Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If device-to-device (D2D) communication is implemented for direct data transmission between terminals, then transmission efficiency and speed are improved, but interference management and power spectral density control become more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission efficiencyVSAvoidinterference management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces complex mechanical interference management with electromagnetic field-based power spectral density control. By calculating and controlling PSD based on pathloss models and received signal strength measurements, the system achieves interference management through field-based parameters rather than complex protocol-based mechanisms, thus improving transmission efficiency while managing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically adjusts power spectral density parameters based on channel conditions, pathloss, and received signal strength. By changing PSD parameters adaptively rather than using fixed transmission protocols, the system optimizes transmission efficiency while simplifying interference management through parameter-based control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If power spectral density is increased to improve signal transmission quality, then signal reliability is improved, but interference to other transmissions increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal transmission qualityVSAvoidinterference to other transmissions
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where terminals measure received signal strength and pathloss, then adjust their power spectral density accordingly. This closed-loop feedback system ensures that signal transmission quality is maintained while automatically reducing interference when channel conditions indicate other transmissions are present, thus resolving the contradiction between reliability and interference generation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent makes power spectral density dynamic rather than static, adjusting it based on real-time channel conditions, pathloss calculations, and received signal strength measurements. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to maintain high signal quality when needed while automatically reducing interference levels when other transmissions are detected, resolving the contradiction between these two objectives.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
