Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communications systems face challenges in simultaneously achieving low delay, high reliability, and high data transmission rates, particularly in scenarios like IMT-2020 fifth generation mobile communications, where a block error rate of 10^-5 and 300 Mbps transmission within 1 millisecond are required, but current systems like LTE-Advanced struggle to meet these demands due to high retransmission rates and delays.

Innovation Solution

The method involves generating and transmitting multiple pieces of data with different sizes using transmission channels with varying delays, where smaller data is sent through a channel with lower delay and larger data through a channel with higher delay, allowing for efficient and reliable data transmission that meets the requirements of low delay and high rate.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If data is transmitted through a single channel with high capacity, then data transmission rate is improved, but transmission delay increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission rateVSAvoidtransmission delay
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The original data is segmented into multiple versions with different sizes (original data, compressed data, and highly compressed data). Each version is transmitted through a different channel based on its size characteristics, allowing simultaneous optimization of transmission rate and delay for different data portions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a new dimension of data representation by creating multiple versions of the same data with different compression levels. This dimensional transformation allows the system to exploit different transmission channel characteristics for different data versions, resolving the delay-rate tradeoff.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Speed

If data is transmitted through a channel with low delay, then transmission speed is improved, but data capacity is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission speedVSAvoiddata capacity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent dynamically selects which data version to transmit based on channel conditions and requirements. When low delay is critical, highly compressed data is sent through low-delay channels. When full data capacity is needed, the original or less compressed data is transmitted through high-capacity channels, creating a dynamic adaptation mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Productivity

If high compression ratio is applied to reduce data size, then transmission rate is improved, but data reliability decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission rateVSAvoiddata integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transmits multiple versions of data with different compression levels. The receiver can use the highly compressed data for quick updates when reliability requirements are moderate, while the original data provides a reliable backup for complete information recovery, achieving partial action optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

By changing the compression parameter to create different data versions, the patent allows the system to adapt to different transmission scenarios. The same information can be represented with different parameters (compression levels), enabling optimization based on channel conditions without sacrificing reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
