Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If resource selection is performed through N antennas for RS transmission, then the data transmission rate is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission rateVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The resource selection process is segmented across N antennas, where each antenna independently selects resources from the candidate resource set. This segmentation enables parallel processing of resource selection, improving data transmission rate while distributing the computational complexity across multiple antenna elements rather than concentrating it in a single processing unit.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If sensing is used to determine candidate resource set, then the reliability of transmission is improved, but the latency increases

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

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs sensing operations in advance to pre-determine the candidate resource set before actual data transmission is required. By completing the sensing and candidate selection beforehand, the system ensures reliable transmission through thorough channel assessment while minimizing the latency during the actual data transmission phase, as the resource selection is already prepared.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Quantity of substance

If multiple adjacent resources are grouped into multi-resources, then the spectral efficiency is improved, but the difficulty of resource management increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespectral efficiencyVSAvoidresource management difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple adjacent resources are merged into unified multi-resource groups, where N adjacent resources form a single multi-resource entity. This merging approach improves spectral efficiency by enabling more efficient resource allocation and utilization. The resource management difficulty is addressed by treating each multi-resource group as a single manageable unit, simplifying the overall resource management structure despite the increased number of resources being utilized.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
