Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Power

If maximum output power is increased for NR V2X terminals, then transmission distance and coverage are improved, but compliance with spectrum emission masks and spurious emission masks deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemaximum output powerVSAvoidspectrum emission mask compliance
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by introducing MPR (Maximum Power Reduction) values that adjust the transmission power based on specific conditions such as subcarrier spacing and modulation order. This allows the system to dynamically change the power parameter to maintain emission mask compliance while maximizing transmission effectiveness within regulatory constraints.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Object-affected harmful factors

If transmission power is reduced to comply with emission masks, then spectrum emission compliance is improved, but transmission distance and communication effectiveness deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespectrum emission mask complianceVSAvoidtransmission distance
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamics by making the MPR value adaptive rather than fixed. The MPR is dynamically adjusted based on operating conditions including subcarrier spacing (15 kHz, 30 kHz, 60 kHz) and modulation order (QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM, 256QAM), allowing the system to optimize transmission distance while maintaining emission compliance for each specific scenario.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If MPR values are standardized for different subcarrier spacings and modulation orders, then system compatibility and standardization are improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestandardization compatibilityVSAvoidMPR configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by defining specific MPR values for different combinations of subcarrier spacing and modulation order rather than using a single uniform MPR value. This allows each operational mode to have optimized local parameters, improving standardization compatibility while keeping the complexity manageable through structured parameter tables.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
