Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional interleaving schemes in wireless communication systems, such as block interleaving, are susceptible to periodic interference and noise reemergence, which affects the performance of broadband OFDM-based transmission systems, particularly in channels with frequency-selective fading.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a frequency interleaving method using a 2-D matrix with bit-reversed order and pseudo-random column rotation, which disperses noise and interference across the entire bandwidth, preventing periodic interference patterns and enhancing error correction through LDPC codes in next-generation DOCSIS systems.

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by using a pseudo-random permutation pattern that changes for each block of data carriers rather than a fixed pattern. This dynamic approach prevents periodic interference from aligning with the interleaving structure, as the permutation pattern varies randomly across different data blocks, thereby eliminating the reemergence of periodic interference patterns while maintaining error reduction benefits

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the permutation parameter by using different pseudo-random sequences for different blocks of data carriers. Specifically, the permutation pattern is generated based on a pseudo-random number that varies between blocks, which transforms the static block interleaving into a variable-parameter system that disrupts periodic interference while preserving the error-spread capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Object-affected harmful factors

If frequency interleaving with pseudo-random permutation is implemented, then periodic interference is eliminated, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces complex mechanical or hardware-based interleaving mechanisms with a software-based pseudo-random permutation algorithm. By using mathematical pseudo-random number generation instead of physical switching or complex hardware reconfiguration, the system achieves periodic interference elimination through computational means, which reduces overall device complexity while maintaining the desired interference suppression performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
