Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems operating in the 2.4 GHz band face challenges with low data rates and limited range due to slower transmission times, leading to latency and low throughput, especially when compared to higher frequency bands.

Innovation Solution

Implementing an extended long range (ELR) wireless packet design that includes duplication schemes for data portions and resource allocations using distributed resource units (dRUs) to enhance coverage and data rate, leveraging techniques such as blockwise repetition, binary convolutional coding, and low-density parity check interleaving.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Length of stationary object

If wireless communication operates in the 2.4 GHz band to extend coverage range, then transmission range and object penetration improve, but data rate and transmission speed decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoverage rangeVSAvoiddata rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The data portion of the wireless packet is segmented into multiple duplications (e.g., 4 duplications) that are transmitted separately. This segmentation allows the receiver to combine multiple copies of the same data, improving reliability and effective data rate through diversity combining while maintaining extended range operation in the 2.4 GHz band.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes transmission parameters by introducing a duplication scheme where the data portion is repeated multiple times within a single packet structure. This parameter change (adding duplications) improves the effective data rate and reliability without changing the fundamental 2.4 GHz band operation, thus maintaining extended coverage range.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Length of stationary object

If wireless communication operates in the 2.4 GHz band to extend coverage range, then transmission range improves, but transmission time increases causing latency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoverage rangeVSAvoidtransmission time
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The data portion is prepared in advance with multiple duplications embedded in the packet structure before transmission. This preliminary action ensures that the receiver can immediately combine the duplications upon receipt, reducing processing delay and overall transmission time while maintaining extended range capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If data portion is duplicated multiple times to improve reliability and data rate, then decoding accuracy improves, but packet structure complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedecoding accuracyVSAvoidpacket structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The data portion is copied multiple times (e.g., 4 duplications) and placed in a structured format within the packet. This copying approach improves decoding accuracy through diversity combining at the receiver while maintaining a relatively simple and standardized packet structure that is easy to parse and process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
