Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If multiple devices relay forward transmission and return transmission in the same frequency band, then communication coverage is extended, but co-frequency interference occurs and communication quality deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication coverageVSAvoidco-frequency interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The frequency band is segmented into different resources for forward transmission and return transmission. The repeater allocates different time slots, frequency resources, or code sequences for uplink and downlink communications, preventing co-frequency interference while maintaining extended coverage through multiple relaying devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs periodic time-division multiplexing where forward and return transmissions occur in alternating time slots. This periodic allocation ensures that interfering signals do not overlap in time, allowing multiple devices to relay communications effectively without mutual interference.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

2Adaptability or versatility

If a complicated routing process is maintained for transmission link establishment, then network flexibility is improved, but field debugging efficiency decreases and time delay increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork flexibilityVSAvoidfield debugging efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The repeater implements self-service through automatic routing establishment and resource allocation. When a transmission link is needed, the repeater autonomously selects appropriate relay devices and configures transmission parameters without requiring manual intervention, thereby maintaining network flexibility while dramatically improving field debugging efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring transmission templates and resource allocation schemes. Before actual emergency communication begins, the repeater pre-establishes routing policies and resource pools, enabling rapid link setup without complex real-time routing decisions, thus reducing time delay while preserving adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If a complicated routing process is maintained for transmission link establishment, then network adaptability is improved, but additional time delay is introduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork adaptabilityVSAvoidtime delay
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The repeater performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring transmission templates and resource allocation schemes. Before actual emergency communication begins, the system pre-establishes routing policies and resource pools, enabling rapid link setup without complex real-time routing decisions, thus reducing time delay while preserving adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The repeater implements self-service through automatic routing establishment and resource allocation. When a transmission link is needed, the repeater autonomously selects appropriate relay devices and configures transmission parameters without requiring manual intervention or complex real-time processing, thereby maintaining network adaptability while dramatically reducing time delay.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

4Device complexity

If resource allocation is not optimized in the transmission link, then system complexity is reduced, but communication efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidcommunication efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The repeater autonomously performs resource allocation by selecting transmission resources from pre-configured pools based on simple rules such as least recently used or best signal quality. This self-service approach achieves efficient resource utilization without requiring complex centralized scheduling algorithms, thus improving communication efficiency while keeping system complexity manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
