Solution Overview

Problem

Distributed antenna systems face challenges in improving signal quality, especially in areas with high data transmission demands and lossy compression environments, where existing technologies fail to efficiently allocate bits and encode communication signals effectively.

Innovation Solution

A communication node that employs a Huffman encoding algorithm to encode a count leading zero bit string into a codeword and allocates additional bits to an additional data bit string when the number of bits in the count leading zero bit string decreases, using a data appearance frequency monitor and additional bit allocator, while also detecting leading zeros and integrating data types for efficient encoding.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If Huffman encoding is applied to count leading zero bit string, then encoding efficiency is improved, but bit allocation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveencoding efficiencyVSAvoidbit allocation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The communication signal is divided into multiple components: sign bit string, count leading zero bit string, and additional data bit string. Each component is processed independently with appropriate encoding strategies, allowing Huffman encoding to be applied selectively to the count leading zero bit string without complicating the entire bit allocation process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The bit allocation scheme is made dynamic by monitoring data appearance frequency in the count leading zero bit string and adjusting Huffman encoding parameters accordingly. When the number of bits in the count leading zero bit string decreases, additional bits are dynamically allocated to the additional data bit string, optimizing encoding efficiency adaptively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If additional bits are allocated to additional data bit string, then signal quality is improved, but data transmission capacity is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal qualityVSAvoiddata transmission capacity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes parameters dynamically by monitoring data appearance frequency and adjusting bit allocation based on actual signal characteristics. When the count leading zero bit string requires fewer bits, additional bits are allocated to improve signal quality in the additional data bit string, while maintaining overall data transmission capacity through adaptive adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If data appearance frequency monitoring is implemented, then encoding precision is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveencoding precisionVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Data appearance frequency is monitored and statistics are collected in advance during the encoding process. This preliminary action allows the Huffman encoding algorithm to be applied with high precision without requiring extensive real-time processing, as the frequency distribution is already established from previous monitoring.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
