Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In wireless communication networks, especially those operating at 60 GHz frequencies, there is a need for efficient mechanisms to notify devices of communication bandwidths, transmission channels, and primary channels with minimal overhead, as existing methods often require extensive parameter transmission, which can lead to performance optimization challenges.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of parameter encoding techniques that use a single index value to specify multiple wireless communication parameter values, allowing devices to convey and receive information about communication bandwidths, transmission channels, and primary channels using a defined mapping scheme, thereby reducing overhead.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If multiple parameter values are transmitted separately to notify devices of communication bandwidths, transmission channels, and primary channels, then complete information is conveyed, but communication overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple wireless communication parameter values (bandwidth, transmission channel, primary channel) into a single index value. This index value serves as a consolidated representation that encapsulates information about multiple parameters, thereby reducing the quantity of data transmitted while preserving complete information about the communication configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The single index value performs multiple functions simultaneously: it identifies bandwidth, transmission channel, and primary channel information. This multi-functional index replaces what would traditionally require separate transmissions for each parameter, achieving information completeness with reduced overhead.
2Loss of information
If extensive parameter transmission is used to notify devices of communication configurations, then all necessary information is provided, but performance optimization becomes challenging
Solution Approach 1:
By merging multiple parameter transmissions into a single index value, the system simplifies the communication protocol and reduces processing complexity. This consolidation enables faster parameter identification and improves overall system performance while maintaining complete information about communication configurations.
3Quantity of substance
If a single index value is used to specify multiple parameter values, then communication overhead is reduced, but the complexity of mapping schemes increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mapping scheme between index values and parameter combinations is predetermined and established before communication occurs. This preliminary definition of relationships allows devices to efficiently translate the compact index value into specific parameter settings without requiring complex real-time calculations, thereby reducing operational complexity despite the condensed information format.
