Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a device operates under multiple network scenarios with multiple channels, then communication versatility is improved, but channel interference effects cause data latency and throughput degradation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic data rate adjustment based on detected channel interference conditions. The controller continuously monitors interference between first and second channels, and dynamically adjusts the data rate of the second channel accordingly. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to maintain reliable communication performance across multiple network scenarios without being constrained by fixed configuration limitations.
2Reliability
If fixed techniques are applied to overcome communication issues in all scenarios, then communication reliability is improved, but unnecessary power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes operational parameters (data rate) based on detected interference conditions rather than applying fixed mitigation techniques in all scenarios. The controller adjusts the second channel's data rate only when interference is detected, allowing the system to maintain reliability when needed while consuming minimal power during normal operation. This conditional parameter adjustment eliminates unnecessary power consumption associated with always-on interference mitigation.
3Productivity
If data rate is increased to compensate for interference, then throughput is improved, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the controller detects channel interference conditions and adjusts the data rate accordingly. The detection unit monitors interference between channels, and based on this feedback, the controller dynamically adjusts the second channel's data rate. This feedback-driven approach ensures throughput is maintained when interference occurs while avoiding unnecessary power consumption from continuous high data rate operation during clean channel conditions.

AI summary
A communication device with a dynamic data rate adjusting mechanism and a dynamic data rate adjusting method thereof are provided. The communication device includes a first transceiver path circuit, a second transceiver path circuit and a controller. The controller executes first determination to determine whether one or more channel interference effects exist between a first signal transmitted on a first channel and a second signal transmitted on a second channel, and generate an interference determination result. The controller further executes second determination to determine whether communication between the communication device and the second linked device on the second channel should be executed through the first transceiver path circuit or the second transceiver path circuit, and whether to adjust the data rate of any of the first channel and the second channel according to the interference determination result, and executes corresponding controls according to a result of the second determination.
