Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional low power signals suffer from poor transmission performance due to channel frequency selective fading, leading to signal waveform distortion and impaired demodulation.
Innovation Solution
Performing inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) processing on a first sequence, which is determined based on to-be-transmitted information, and applying operations such as multiplication with a phase adjustment sequence, cyclic shifting, or repeated superposition to distribute spectrum energy at different frequencies.

1Use of energy by moving object
If conventional OOK modulation is used for low power signal, then power consumption is reduced, but transmission performance deteriorates due to frequency selective fading and signal distortion
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the modulation parameters from conventional OOK to a transformed signal format using IFFT processing. The base sequence undergoes mathematical transformation (IFFT) to create a new signal representation that distributes energy across multiple frequencies, fundamentally changing the signal's frequency domain characteristics to resist fading effects while maintaining low power operation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary processing operations (phase adjustment, cyclic shifting, repeated superposition) to the base sequence before IFFT transformation. These pre-processing steps modify the sequence characteristics in advance, ensuring that the final transformed signal has optimal properties for resisting frequency selective fading and improving demodulation performance
2Device complexity
If spectrum energy is concentrated at central location using conventional OOK, then modulation is simple, but signal is prone to frequency selective fading and waveform distortion
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the concentrated spectrum energy into multiple frequency components through IFFT processing. Instead of having all energy at one central frequency, the transformed signal distributes energy across many frequency sub-components, so that fading at any single frequency does not destroy the entire signal
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a time-domain concentrated signal to a frequency-domain distributed signal by applying IFFT. This dimensional transformation in the frequency domain creates a signal structure that is inherently more robust to frequency selective effects, as the information is encoded across multiple frequency dimensions rather than a single frequency
