Solution Overview

Problem

Wireless VoIP devices experience delays due to automatic bitrate control, which degrades call signal quality as the signal quality worsens, particularly due to signal attenuation and interference, leading to frequent bitrate adjustments and changes in modulation schemes.

Innovation Solution

A wireless communications system that establishes a wireless connection at a predetermined call bitrate, not determined through a maximizing process, between the wireless transceiver and the networking device, ensuring consistent signal transmission and eliminating delays.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If automatic bitrate control is used to adapt to signal quality changes, then the system can maintain connectivity under varying conditions, but delays occur due to frequent bitrate adjustments and modulation scheme changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebitrate adaptationVSAvoidcall signal delay
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by enabling the wireless transceiver to dynamically switch between different bitrate modes (first bitrate with first modulation scheme, second bitrate with second modulation scheme) based on real-time signal quality conditions. This allows the system to adapt to varying channel conditions while maintaining continuous operation without fixed constraints.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes key transmission parameters (bitrate and modulation scheme) based on signal quality measurements. When signal quality exceeds a threshold, the system switches to the first bitrate with first modulation scheme; otherwise, it switches to the second bitrate with second modulation scheme, thereby optimizing transmission performance under different conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If the system starts at the highest bitrate to maximize data transmission, then productivity is improved, but call signal quality degrades when signal conditions worsen due to attenuation and interference

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission rateVSAvoidcall signal quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts bitrate based on signal quality rather than starting at maximum bitrate. It switches between first bitrate (higher rate) and second bitrate (lower rate) depending on whether signal quality exceeds the threshold, thereby balancing data transmission efficiency with call signal quality maintenance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring signal quality and adjusting bitrate accordingly. The wireless transceiver measures signal quality and switches between bitrate modes based on whether the measured quality exceeds a predetermined threshold, creating a closed-loop control system that maintains optimal performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If bitrate is reduced to ensure good transmission under poor signal conditions, then call signal quality is maintained, but data transmission efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission qualityVSAvoiddata transmission rate
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically selects between first bitrate and second bitrate based on real-time signal quality conditions. When signal quality exceeds the threshold, it uses the higher first bitrate for efficient transmission; when signal quality deteriorates, it switches to the lower second bitrate to maintain transmission quality, thereby optimally balancing speed and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes transmission parameters (bitrate and modulation scheme) based on signal quality measurements. It switches between different bitrate modes to adapt to varying channel conditions, maximizing data transmission rate when conditions are good and maintaining transmission quality when conditions are poor.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A wireless communication system transmits and receives electronic voice signals between a wireless communication device and a wireless networking device at a call bitrate stored in the wireless communication device. By using the call bitrate when transmitting and receiving call signals, the wireless communication system is able to eliminate delays in the call signals caused if the signal becomes worse.
