Solution Overview

Problem

Current communication systems lack a concrete method for transmitting and receiving data in new frequency bands, particularly for supporting multi-bandwidth, which is essential for stable high-speed data transmission in wireless local area networks (WLANs).

Innovation Solution

A data transmission apparatus and method that configures a frame in a new frequency band to support multi-bandwidth modes, including ½×, basic, 2×, 4×, and 8× bandwidths of the basic frequency band, using a verification unit to identify suitable frequency bands and generate data packets for transmission and reception, and a recovery unit to recover data packets in these modes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If data transmission is performed in a new frequency band without a concrete frame configuration method, then high transmission rate can be achieved, but stable data transmission cannot be guaranteed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission rateVSAvoidstable data transmission
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The frequency band is segmented into multiple bandwidth modes (1/2×, basic, 2×, 4×, 8× bandwidth of the basic frequency band), allowing the system to divide the new frequency band into manageable segments that can be configured with appropriate frame structures for stable transmission

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The frame configuration parameters are changed to support multi-bandwidth modes in the new frequency band, including verifying basic frequency band capabilities and generating data packets with appropriate bandwidth mode indicators to ensure stable transmission at high rates

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of manufacture

If a fixed frame configuration is used in the new frequency band, then implementation is simplified, but adaptability to different bandwidth requirements is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimplementation simplicityVSAvoidmulti-bandwidth support
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The frame configuration is made dynamic by introducing multiple bandwidth modes (1/2×, basic, 2×, 4×, 8× bandwidth) that can be selected and verified based on channel conditions and terminal capabilities, allowing the system to adapt between simplicity and versatility as needed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The frame structure is designed with universal multi-functionality to support multiple bandwidth modes within the new frequency band, where a single frame configuration method can handle various bandwidth requirements through verification of basic frequency band capabilities and appropriate mode selection

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