1Reliability

If interference-aware receiver is used to recognize interference signals, then data quality is improved, but device complexity increases

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an interference coordinator as an intermediary component that manages interference mitigation. The coordinator receives interference information from the interference-aware receiver, processes coordination data, and generates interference mitigation signals. This intermediary structure separates the complex interference recognition function from the basic reception function, allowing the receiver to remain relatively simple while achieving high data quality through coordinated interference management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The interference-aware receiver performs self-service by autonomously recognizing and identifying interference signals in the received signal. The receiver independently extracts interference characteristics and provides this information to the interference coordinator without requiring external intervention, thereby improving data quality while maintaining receiver simplicity through self-managed interference detection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Productivity

If rate coordination profile is generated to coordinate interference signals, then communication efficiency is improved, but computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication efficiencyVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-generating rate coordination profiles that contain predetermined interference coordination strategies. These profiles are created in advance based on channel conditions and interference characteristics, allowing the interference coordinator to quickly apply coordination without real-time complex computation. This preliminary preparation improves communication efficiency while reducing instantaneous computational complexity during data transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The rate coordination profile utilizes parameter changes by adjusting transmission rates, power levels, and resource allocation parameters based on interference conditions. The interference coordinator modifies these parameters dynamically according to the coordination report, enabling efficient communication adaptation without requiring complex real-time algorithms. Parameter-based coordination simplifies computation while maintaining high productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Speed

If beam-forming mechanism is generated for communicating serving signal, then data speed is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata speedVSAvoidcommunication mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The beam-forming mechanism applies local quality by directing communication resources specifically toward the intended receiver rather than omnidirectional transmission. The interference coordinator generates beam-forming weights that concentrate signal energy in the spatial direction of the target user, improving data speed through focused transmission. This localized approach achieves high speed without requiring complex full-matrix beamforming across all possible directions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The interference coordinator serves as an intermediary that generates simplified beam-forming mechanisms based on coordination information. Rather than implementing complex distributed beamforming across multiple antennas, the coordinator produces streamlined beam-forming weights that achieve effective spatial filtering and signal directionality. This intermediary processing reduces the complexity of the beam-forming implementation while maintaining high data transmission speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
