Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the electronic device performs multiple short-range wireless communications simultaneously through multiple links, then the transmission speed and data rate are improved, but the scheduling complexity and link management difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the wireless communication system into multiple independent links (first link, second link, third link) operating on different frequency bands. Each link can be managed and scheduled independently, allowing the device to handle multiple wireless communications simultaneously while reducing overall scheduling complexity through modular link management.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces frequency band as an additional dimension for link differentiation. By operating links on different frequency bands (first frequency band, second frequency band, third frequency band), the system creates spatial separation in the frequency domain, enabling simultaneous communications without interference and simplifying scheduling through frequency-based resource allocation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the electronic device activates multiple short-range wireless communications, then the service capability and communication versatility are improved, but the link occupancy and service quality deterioration risk increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables the electronic device to perform multiple types of short-range wireless communications (Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi direct, NAN, soft AP) simultaneously through a universal multi-link architecture. The same hardware resources are allocated to different communication functions across multiple links, enhancing service capability while maintaining reliable quality through independent link management.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by assigning specific frequency bands and link characteristics to different wireless communication functions. Each link is optimized for its specific purpose (e.g., first link for Wi-Fi, second link for Wi-Fi direct), ensuring that each service maintains high quality without interfering with others, thus improving overall reliability.
3Productivity
If the electronic device performs data transmission through multiple links, then the throughput and data rate are improved, but the scheduling difficulty and resource management complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments data transmission into multiple independent links, each operating on a different frequency band. This segmentation allows the device to achieve high throughput by aggregating multiple links while simplifying resource management through independent scheduling of each link, reducing the complexity of managing shared resources.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes frequency band as an additional resource dimension, creating first, second, and third frequency bands for different links. This dimensional separation transforms the resource management problem from managing a single shared resource to managing multiple independent frequency resources, thereby increasing throughput while reducing scheduling complexity through frequency-based resource allocation.

AI summary
An electronic device may include communication circuitry supporting a plurality of short-range wireless communications, including a first short-range wireless communication and a second short-range wireless communication. The electronic device may include a memory storing at least one computer program, and at least one processor. The at least one computer program may include instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to detect activation of the second short-range wireless communication while performing the first short-range wireless communication using a first link corresponding to a first frequency band and a second link corresponding to a second frequency band higher than the first frequency band. The instructions may cause the electronic device to perform scheduling of the first link and the second link, based on a first throughput of data transmitted/received through the first short-range wireless communication and a second throughput of data to be transmitted/received through the second short-range wireless communication. The instructions may cause the electronic device to perform, based on the scheduling, the first short-range wireless communication using the first link and the second short-range wireless communication using the second link during a first time, and the first short-range wireless communication using the second link and the second short-range wireless communication using the first link during a second time.
