Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If complex interleaving sequence generation methods are used to ensure unique user identification, then user identification accuracy is improved, but computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser identification accuracyVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The interleaving sequence is divided into multiple segments, each segment corresponding to a different user. Each segment is generated using a simple pseudorandom sequence with a unique seed, rather than generating one complex sequence for all users. This segmentation allows each user to be identified through their specific segment while reducing the overall computational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Pseudorandom sequences are pre-generated and stored in a sequence pool before actual user access occurs. The sequences are prepared in advance with different seeds, and when a user needs identification, a pre-generated sequence is selected and applied. This preliminary action eliminates the need for complex real-time sequence generation during user access.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If complex interleaving sequence generation methods are used to ensure unique user identification, then user identification accuracy is improved, but time delay increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser identification accuracyVSAvoidtime delay
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Interleaving sequences are pre-generated and stored in a sequence pool before user access occurs. When a user needs to be identified, a pre-generated sequence is immediately selected and applied without requiring complex real-time computation. This preliminary preparation significantly reduces the time delay from sequence generation to user identification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Device complexity

If simplified interleaving sequence generation methods are used, then computational complexity is reduced, but standardization difficulty increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomputational complexityVSAvoidstandardization difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

A universal sequence pool is created that can serve multiple users and multiple access scenarios. The same pool of pseudorandom sequences, generated using standardized algorithms with different seeds, can be used for different users, different time slots, and different frequency resources. This universality simplifies standardization while maintaining low computational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

Different users are distinguished by changing parameters such as the seed value, length, or specific segment of the pseudorandom sequence, rather than using fundamentally different complex generation methods. This parameter-based differentiation maintains simplicity and facilitates standardization across different implementations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Adaptability or versatility

If multiple access signatures are allocated to users, then user identification capability is improved, but sequence management complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser identification capabilityVSAvoidsequence management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The sequence pool is segmented into multiple subsets, with each subset assigned to different user groups or access scenarios. This segmentation allows for organized management of multiple access signatures while reducing the complexity of tracking and managing all sequences centrally. Each segment can be independently managed and allocated.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
