Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional message transmission methods are used, then implementation is simple, but robustness and security against eavesdropping are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The message transmission system is segmented into multiple registered transmitting sites and receiving sites, each with unique identification capabilities. The compound channel is divided into multiple individual channels, and codebooks are segmented into code subbooks for different sites. This segmentation enables secure identification-based communication while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from traditional Shannon communication (transmitting messages as such) to identification-based communication (transmitting codes representing messages). This dimensional change in the communication paradigm enables exponential increase in channel capacity while providing inherent security through the identification mechanism, where receivers verify whether a transmitted code corresponds to a selected message without directly observing the message itself.
2Productivity
If channel capacity is increased through identification methods, then transmission efficiency improves exponentially, but robustness against channel uncertainty and eavesdropping deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs dynamic code selection through stochastic encoders that randomly select codes from code subbooks based on channel conditions. The system adaptively adjusts transmission strategies by monitoring channel quality and security parameters, dynamically switching between different codebooks and transmission modes to maintain both high channel capacity utilization and robustness against uncertainty and eavesdropping.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes parameters such as codebook selection, code selection probability distributions, and transmission timing based on monitored channel security parameters. By dynamically adjusting these parameters in response to channel conditions, the system maintains exponential channel capacity while adapting to maintain robustness against varying levels of uncertainty and potential eavesdropping threats.
3Reliability
If stochastic encoders are used for message identification, then security and secrecy are enhanced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses codebooks and code subbooks as copies or representations of the actual messages. Instead of directly transmitting complex encrypted messages, the system transmits simpler codes from pre-prepared codebooks that represent the messages. This copying approach enhances security through the identification paradigm while reducing the computational complexity of the encoders compared to traditional encryption methods.
Solution Approach 2:
Codebooks and code subbooks are prepared in advance for each registered transmitting and receiving site. This preliminary action of pre-generating and distributing codebooks enables the stochastic encoders to simply select from pre-computed options rather than performing complex real-time encryption, thereby enhancing secrecy through diverse code selection while keeping encoder complexity manageable.
4Reliability
If channel security parameters are monitored and transmission is adjusted, then security is maintained, but transmission time and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where channel security parameters are monitored and used to adjust transmission decisions. However, the feedback is designed to be efficient by using pre-prepared codebooks and simple selection rules based on monitored parameters, minimizing the time overhead. The feedback loop triggers transmission suppression or postponement only when security parameters indicate compromised channels, avoiding unnecessary delays in normal conditions.

AI summary
The present invention refers to a method (S) of and to a system (T) for transmitting and/or receiving messages in an environment of registered transmitting sites (TX) and receiving sites (RX) via identification, wherein a respective message is selected from a fixed set of messages - which is in particular finite or countable - and sent and/or received over a compound channel (CC) via identification. In addition, the compound channel (CC) as a set of channels and ruled by a state variable (t) is given and used based on a compound code by using a stochastic encoder.
