Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If each piece of information is individually coded with encoding length a, then M pieces of information require a×M bits to be transmitted, but this results in large overhead and waste of air interface resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation transmission completenessVSAvoidair interface resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple individual information pieces into a single joint encoding process. Instead of encoding each of the M information pieces separately with encoding length a (total a×M bits), the patent applies joint encoding to represent all M pieces together using only b bits where b < a×M. This combining approach reduces the total encoding length and saves air interface resources while maintaining complete information transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Loss of substance

If joint encoding is applied to reduce encoding length, then air interface resources are saved, but the encoding complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveair interface resourcesVSAvoidencoding complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the joint encoding process into manageable parts. It divides M information pieces into groups and applies encoding separately to each group, then combines the results. This segmentation reduces the overall encoding complexity compared to encoding all M pieces simultaneously in one complex operation, while still achieving resource savings through joint encoding within each group.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic adjustment mechanisms in the encoding process. It dynamically determines the encoding length b based on the actual content and characteristics of the M information pieces, rather than using a fixed encoding scheme. This dynamic approach optimizes the balance between encoding complexity and resource savings, allowing the system to adapt to different information patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
