Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing power control solutions are used in full-duplex mode, then the system can operate in full-duplex networking mode, but the uplink transmit power cannot be accurately set leading to self-interference issues

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefull-duplex networking capabilityVSAvoiduplink transmit power accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the power control parameter configuration by resource type, separating full-duplex resources from non-full-duplex resources. Different power control parameter sets are configured for different resource types, allowing precise power control specifically for full-duplex uplink transmission while maintaining existing operation for other modes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by configuring power control parameters specifically tailored to full-duplex resource characteristics. The network device determines resource types and configures appropriate power control parameters for each resource type, ensuring that full-duplex resources receive specialized power control treatment to mitigate self-interference.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If higher receive power is used to cope with self-interference in full-duplex mode, then the network device can receive data correctly during self-interference conditions, but the complexity of power control increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata reception correctnessVSAvoidpower control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-configuring different power control parameter sets for different resource types before transmission occurs. The network device determines resource types and configures appropriate power control parameters in advance, allowing the terminal device to calculate and apply the correct transmit power without real-time complex adjustments during full-duplex operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
