Solution Overview

Problem

5G electronic devices experience high power consumption due to high data transmission rates and low latency, leading to reduced battery endurance and user experience.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a method to monitor and control data transmission rates based on power consumption, using speed limit parameters to balance power usage and data transmission, by limiting the number of data packets transmitted per unit time through the application layer, thereby reducing excessive power consumption and increasing data transmission rates at lower power usage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If high data transmission rate is used in 5G communication, then data transmission speed is improved, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission rateVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic speed limit adjustment based on real-time power consumption monitoring. The system continuously monitors power consumption and dynamically adjusts the data transmission speed limit parameter to maintain optimal balance between transmission rate and power consumption, rather than using a fixed transmission rate

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the operating parameters of the data transmission system by introducing speed limit parameters that are adjusted based on power consumption levels. The system modifies transmission parameters (speed limits) in response to changing power consumption conditions to resolve the contradiction between high speed and low power consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If high data transmission rate is maintained continuously, then productivity is improved, but battery endurance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission rateVSAvoidbattery endurance
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic monitoring of power consumption and periodic adjustment of speed limit parameters. The system performs continuous but periodic assessments of power consumption levels and相应地 adjusts transmission rates, creating a rhythm of high-performance transmission interspersed with power-saving adjustments to extend battery endurance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Use of energy by moving object

If speed limit is applied to reduce power consumption, then power consumption is reduced, but data transmission rate may be limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower consumptionVSAvoiddata transmission rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where power consumption is continuously monitored and the speed limit parameter is adjusted based on this feedback. The system uses real-time power consumption data to dynamically adjust transmission speed limits, ensuring that speed is not unnecessarily limited when power consumption is already low, while preventing excessive power consumption when limits are applied

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
