Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If sensing resource pools are configured with large bandwidth for distance estimation resolution, then sensing precision is improved, but communication system capacity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedistance estimation resolutionVSAvoidcommunication system capacity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The frequency domain resources are segmented into multiple interlaced structures where sensing and communication resources are divided into separate interleaved sets. This allows sensing to obtain sufficient bandwidth for distance estimation while communication can utilize the remaining frequency resources, resolving the contradiction between sensing precision and communication capacity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from traditional time-division or simple frequency-division multiplexing to an interlaced frequency structure that creates additional resource dimensions. By organizing resources in interleaved patterns across frequency, the system achieves both wide sensing bandwidth and adequate communication capacity simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Measurement precision

If sensing resource pools are configured with small repetition period for large unambiguous Doppler estimation range, then velocity estimation capability is improved, but communication system capacity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The time-frequency resources are segmented into interlaced structures where sensing resources with small repetition periods for Doppler estimation are separated from communication resources. This segmentation allows the sensing function to achieve large unambiguous Doppler estimation range while communication can utilize other time-frequency resources

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an interlaced frequency structure that adds a new resource allocation dimension beyond simple time-division multiplexing. This enables simultaneous optimization of Doppler estimation capabilities and communication capacity by distributing resources across multiple frequency interleaves

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges sensing and communication resource pools into a unified interlaced frequency structure where both functions share the same frequency band through interleaved allocation. This combining approach maintains resource orthogonality to prevent interference while improving overall system efficiency by reducing guard bands and enabling more flexible resource utilization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
