Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional communication systems are used, then device complexity is reduced, but data quality and speed are degraded due to interference

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata qualityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by determining interfering interfaces and communicating this information to receivers before the interference significantly impacts data transmission. The base station proactively identifies interference sources and interfaces, allowing the receiver to prepare interference cancellation mechanisms in advance, thereby improving data quality without requiring complex real-time processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where the base station determines interfering interfaces and communicates this information back to the receiver. This feedback loop allows the receiver to adjust its interference cancellation algorithms based on actual interference conditions, improving data quality while keeping the receiver design relatively simple through information sharing rather than complex autonomous processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If interference cancellation processing is implemented, then data quality is improved, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata qualityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The base station performs preliminary determination of interfering interfaces and communicates this information to the receiver before significant processing time is needed. This allows the receiver to perform interference cancellation more efficiently with pre-provided interference characteristics, reducing the computational time and resources required during actual data transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The base station acts as an intermediary that determines interfering interfaces and communicates this information to the receiver. This intermediary role allows the receiver to focus on simpler interference cancellation processing rather than performing complex interference analysis itself, thereby improving data quality while reducing the receiver's processing time and computational burden.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple communication formats are supported, then adaptability is improved, but computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication format supportVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the communication process into distinct phases: the base station handles interface determination and interference identification, while the receiver handles data processing using the provided interference information. This segmentation allows the system to support multiple communication formats with different levels of computational complexity at different stages, improving adaptability without uniformly increasing device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
