Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently supporting digital post distortion (DPoD) operations due to limitations in power amplifier compression, which affects signal quality and resource utilization, particularly in mobile stations with varying capabilities for kernel support.

Innovation Solution

Mobile stations transmit an indication of support for candidate kernels for DPoD operations, allowing base stations to apply appropriate power amplifier compression based on the supported kernels, thereby optimizing network and power resource usage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If power amplifier compression is applied to improve signal quality, then signal quality is improved, but device complexity increases due to varying kernel support requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal qualityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adapts the DPoD processing configuration based on mobile station capabilities. The base station receives capability indications from mobile stations and configures appropriate kernel parameters (such as kernel order, memory depth, and candidate kernel sets) accordingly. This dynamic configuration allows the system to optimize signal quality for stations that support complex processing while avoiding unnecessary complexity for stations with limited capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

Different mobile stations receive customized DPoD processing parameters tailored to their individual capabilities. Each mobile station is configured with a specific set of candidate kernels and processing parameters that match its computational resources and supported feature set. This localized customization ensures that each station operates at its optimal complexity level while maintaining signal quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If advanced DPoD operations with multiple candidate kernels are supported, then signal quality and resource utilization are improved, but use of energy increases in mobile stations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal qualityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The mobile station dynamically selects and processes only those candidate kernels that it is capable of supporting, rather than processing all possible kernels. The base station configures the appropriate subset of candidate kernels based on the mobile station's capability indication, enabling the station to perform DPoD operations at an energy level that matches its processing capabilities while still achieving signal quality improvement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements partial processing by providing a configured subset of candidate kernels rather than requiring full kernel processing. Mobile stations process only the necessary portion of kernel operations that their capabilities allow, achieving sufficient signal quality improvement without the excessive energy consumption that would result from processing all possible kernels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Device complexity

If uniform kernel support is required for all mobile stations, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability decreases for stations with varying capabilities

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice complexityVSAvoidcapability adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a universal capability indication mechanism that allows mobile stations of different capability levels to participate in the DPoD process. Each mobile station indicates its supported capabilities (such as maximum kernel order, memory depth, and candidate kernel support), and the base station universally applies the appropriate configuration from a set of predefined candidate kernels. This universal approach maintains system-wide compatibility while adapting to individual station capabilities.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes key parameters (kernel order, memory depth, candidate kernel set) based on mobile station capability indications. By dynamically adjusting these parameters according to each station's supported features, the system achieves adaptability across diverse device capabilities without requiring fundamentally different processing architectures, thus maintaining reasonable device complexity while maximizing versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
