Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication technologies face challenges in transmitting high-definition videos at giga bit data rates without compression, amplification, or channel coding, especially from mobile communication terminals to large HD display devices, due to limitations in data transmission speed and power consumption, which is not suitable for real-time applications like 3D gaming or medical surgeries.

Innovation Solution

A wireless communication system utilizing millimeter waves or terahertz waves for giga bit data transmission from mobile communication terminals to HD display devices, controlled by a low-speed wireless controller that eliminates the need for compression, amplification, and channel coding, enabling real-time data transfer under both line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) conditions with low power consumption.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If compression technique is used to transmit massive data, then data transmission rate is improved, but transmission delay increases and real-time performance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission rateVSAvoidtransmission delay
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes the compression and channel coding processes from the transmission system. By using millimeter wave or terahertz wave communication with inherently high bandwidth, the system transmits uncompressed HD video data directly, eliminating the time-consuming compression/decompression cycle and achieving both high transmission rate and real-time performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the fundamental transmission parameter from conventional RF frequencies to millimeter wave or terahertz waves, which provide vastly superior bandwidth. This parameter change enables uncompressed giga-bit data transmission without the need for compression techniques, thereby eliminating transmission delay while maintaining high speed.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the power-intensive compression and channel coding modules from the mobile communication terminal. By leveraging the high bandwidth of millimeter wave/terahertz communication, the system achieves reliable uncompressed transmission without requiring complex error correction coding, thereby dramatically reducing power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
