Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If DSRC standard is employed for Internet of Vehicles communication, then the system can operate independently without base stations, but the latency increases and packet loss rate increases in dense traffic areas

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidlatency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces ENodeB base stations as intermediary nodes in the communication system. These base stations coordinate resource allocation and manage communication between vehicles, replacing the direct peer-to-peer DSRC approach. The base stations act as mediators that reduce packet loss and latency by providing centralized control and retransmission capabilities in dense traffic scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms through the base station network that monitor communication quality and dynamically adjust resource allocation. The system collects data on packet loss and latency, feeds this information back to the network controller, and uses it to optimize communication parameters, thereby improving overall reliability and reducing delays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Device complexity

If DSRC standard is employed for Internet of Vehicles communication, then the system structure is simple, but the transmission distance is obviously shorter and anti-jamming ability is weak

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidanti-jamming ability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the communication system multi-functional by integrating both DSRC direct communication capabilities and LTE-V cellular communication capabilities. The system can automatically switch between modes or use them complementarily, providing extended transmission distance and enhanced anti-jamming ability while maintaining the simplicity of DSRC where applicable.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite communication system that combines DSRC and LTE-V technologies. This hybrid approach leverages the strengths of both systems: DSRC's low latency for short-range communication and LTE-V's extended range and robustness for long-range and jammed environments, achieving superior overall performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Reliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service evaluation capabilities where the test system automatically collects, analyzes, and reports performance data without requiring external evaluation infrastructure. The system includes built-in test modes that autonomously assess anti-jamming ability, transmission reliability, and other key metrics, making evaluation as easy as deploying the system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces complex manual evaluation methods with automated electronic testing and data analysis systems. The evaluation process is transformed from a manual, mechanical procedure to an automated computational process that collects performance data, processes it through algorithms, and generates comprehensive reports automatically.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

4Length of stationary object

If LTE-V technology is deployed, then remote information transmission is supported, but mobile network infrastructure requires significant investment

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges LTE-V cellular communication with existing mobile network infrastructure rather than building a separate dedicated network. By utilizing the existing 4G/5G base station infrastructure, the system achieves extensive coverage and remote transmission capabilities without duplicating network investments, significantly reducing deployment costs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
