Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If digital broadcast systems transmit large amounts of video/audio data, then HD images and additional services are provided, but data transmission efficiency and network robustness deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The broadcast signal is divided into multiple PLP (Physical Layer Pipe) structures, each capable of carrying different types and amounts of data. This segmentation allows efficient transmission of large video/audio data quantities while maintaining overall transmission efficiency through optimized resource allocation across multiple parallel channels.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a hierarchical structure with multiple dimensions: PLP level, service level, and network level. This multi-dimensional organization enables simultaneous handling of large data quantities while maintaining transmission efficiency through layered management and optimized routing at each level.
2Quantity of substance
If digital broadcast systems transmit large amounts of video/audio data, then HD images and additional services are provided, but network robustness deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Different PLPs are assigned different robustness characteristics based on their specific requirements. Critical data can be transmitted through more robust PLPs with stronger error correction, while less critical data uses PLPs with higher efficiency but lower robustness. This local optimization maintains overall network robustness while supporting large data transmission.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates forward error correction (FEC) and redundancy mechanisms in advance within the PLP structure. This beforehand cushioning ensures that even when transmitting large amounts of data, the network maintains robustness against transmission errors and interruptions.
3Quantity of substance
If digital broadcast systems transmit large amounts of video/audio data, then HD images and additional services are provided, but network flexibility deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The PLP structure enables dynamic allocation and reconfiguration of transmission resources. Each PLP can be independently configured and adjusted based on real-time requirements, allowing the network to maintain flexibility while handling large data quantities. The system can adaptively modify PLP parameters, routing, and resource allocation during operation.
4Adaptability or versatility
If hybrid broadcasting using terrestrial broadcast networks and the Internet is implemented, then future broadcast services are supported, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The PLP-based architecture serves as a universal framework that can handle both terrestrial broadcast and Internet-based transmissions through a unified structure. This multi-functionality reduces overall system complexity by providing a single adaptable platform rather than separate systems for different transmission modes.
