Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication technologies face challenges in providing efficient long-distance transmission and high-frequency efficiency, especially in high-density environments and IoT settings, where existing standards like IEEE 802.11n and 802.11ac have limitations in bandwidth utilization and range.

Innovation Solution

A wireless communication terminal and method that generate a mixed Physical Layer Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) with separate bandwidths for Long Range (LR) and non-LR wireless communication terminals, allowing for simultaneous data transmission using a processor to manage training signals and data fields, optimizing preamble lengths, and signaling formats to enhance transmission efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a single bandwidth is used for all wireless communication terminals, then device complexity is reduced, but transmission range and frequency efficiency cannot be optimized for different terminal types

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebandwidth adaptabilityVSAvoidterminal complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the bandwidth resource into two distinct parts: a first bandwidth for long-range terminals and a second bandwidth for non-long-range terminals. This segmentation allows each terminal type to operate on its optimized bandwidth without requiring complex adaptive configurations, thus improving adaptability while controlling device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by assigning different bandwidth characteristics to different terminal types. Long-range terminals use a narrower first bandwidth optimized for distance, while non-long-range terminals use a wider second bandwidth optimized for speed. This localized optimization resolves the contradiction by making the system adaptable to different requirements without requiring every terminal to support all bandwidth configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Speed

If wider bandwidth is used for high-speed transmission, then communication speed is improved, but transmission range is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication speedVSAvoidtransmission range
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSLength of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the overall bandwidth into two segments: a wider second bandwidth for high-speed communication with non-long-range terminals and a narrower first bandwidth for long-range communication. This segmentation resolves the speed-range contradiction by allowing each terminal type to utilize the bandwidth configuration most suitable for its operational requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the bandwidth parameter differently for different terminal types. Non-long-range terminals operate with a larger bandwidth parameter for higher speed, while long-range terminals operate with a smaller bandwidth parameter for extended range. This parameter differentiation resolves the contradiction by making speed and range可调 according to terminal type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Length of moving object

If narrower bandwidth is used for long-range transmission, then transmission range is extended, but communication speed is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission rangeVSAvoidcommunication speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of moving objectVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the bandwidth resource to allocate a narrower first bandwidth specifically for long-range terminals, accepting reduced speed as a trade-off for extended range. Simultaneously, a wider second bandwidth is allocated for non-long-range terminals that require higher speeds. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by matching bandwidth characteristics to terminal requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by providing different bandwidth characteristics to different terminal types based on their specific needs. Long-range terminals receive a narrower bandwidth optimized for distance, while non-long-range terminals receive a wider bandwidth optimized for speed. This localized optimization resolves the speed-range contradiction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

4Productivity

If separate transmissions are used for LR and non-LR terminals, then transmission efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission efficiencyVSAvoidterminal complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the transmission resource by frequency bandwidth, creating separate transmission channels for long-range and non-long-range terminals. This segmentation improves transmission efficiency by allowing each terminal type to use optimized parameters without interfering with the other, while the base station handles the complexity of managing multiple bandwidths centrally rather than requiring complex adaptive capabilities in each terminal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The base station acts as an intermediary that manages the complexity of handling multiple bandwidth configurations. It allocates the first bandwidth to long-range terminals and the second bandwidth to non-long-range terminals, centralizing the complexity management function and preventing terminals from needing complex adaptive transmission capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
