Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a fixed HARQ feedback manner is used in V2X communication, then the system complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but the adaptability to different transmission scenarios deteriorates and transmission efficiency is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidadaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic HARQ feedback configuration by introducing a feedback manner indicator that can be dynamically set to different values (first feedback manner, second feedback manner, or third feedback manner). This allows the system to adapt the HARQ feedback behavior according to different transmission scenarios, services, or channel conditions, resolving the contradiction between operational simplicity and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of feedback manner type from a fixed value to a dynamically configurable parameter. By introducing the feedback manner indicator and allowing it to take different values, the system can adjust the HARQ feedback behavior (e.g., whether to send ACK/NACK, which resources to use) based on current transmission requirements, thereby improving adaptability while maintaining ease of operation through standardized configuration mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If HARQ feedback is always transmitted in V2X communication, then transmission reliability is improved, but resource consumption increases and transmission efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovereliabilityVSAvoidtransmission efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements partial HARQ feedback by introducing a feedback manner indicator that can select among different feedback strategies. The first feedback manner enables full ACK/NACK feedback for high reliability, while the third feedback manner enables NACK-only feedback for resource efficiency. This partial feedback approach maintains reliability when needed while reducing resource consumption in scenarios where full feedback is excessive, thereby resolving the contradiction between reliability and transmission efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple HARQ feedback manners are supported, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent achieves multi-functionality by designing a universal feedback mechanism that can operate in multiple modes through a single feedback manner indicator. The same terminal device and network device can support multiple HARQ feedback manners (first, second, and third feedback manners) by interpreting the feedback manner indicator differently, without requiring separate dedicated mechanisms for each feedback type. This universal design provides adaptability while controlling device complexity through standardized multi-functional components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
