VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If BCC interleaving is performed in Multi-RU transmissions, then frequency diversity and throughput are improved, but system complexity and decoding difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovethroughputVSAvoiddecoding complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the BCC interleaving process into distinct stages: data bit string generation, BCC encoding, interleaving based on specific parameters, and mapping to resource units. This segmentation allows the receiving device to decode each stage sequentially, reducing overall decoding complexity while maintaining the throughput benefits of BCC interleaving in Multi-RU transmissions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-defining BCC parameters and interleaving patterns before transmission. The transmitting device prepares the encoded and interleaved data structure in advance, allowing the receiving device to anticipate the decoding process and reduce computational complexity during real-time reception and decoding operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If BCC parameters are defined for Multi-RU transmission, then frequency diversity is enhanced, but system adaptability requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs parameter changes by defining specific BCC parameters that can be adjusted based on transmission conditions. These parameters include interleaving depth, block size, and mapping patterns that can be modified to optimize frequency diversity while maintaining compatibility with different system configurations and requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal BCC parameter framework that can function across different Multi-RU transmission scenarios. The defined parameters are designed to be adaptable to various system configurations, allowing the same fundamental mechanism to serve multiple functions and maintain compatibility across different wireless LAN standards and implementations.

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

3Productivity

If data field decoding is performed on aggregated RUs, then overall system efficiency improves, but processing time and computational load increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem efficiencyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data field decoding process into manageable stages corresponding to individual resource units within the Multi-RU aggregation. Each RU can be decoded independently or in parallel, reducing the overall processing time while maintaining system efficiency. This segmented approach allows for optimized resource allocation and parallel processing capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements partial action by allowing selective decoding of data fields based on priority and resource availability. Not all aggregated RUs need to be decoded with the same level of computational resources or time constraints, enabling the system to process critical data faster while maintaining overall efficiency through prioritized handling of different data segments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Proposed are a method and apparatus for receiving a PPDU on which BCC interleaving has been performed in a Multi-RU in a wireless LAN system. Specifically, a reception STA receives, from a transmission STA, a PPDU comprising a data field and decodes the data field. The data field is received via a Multi-RU which is an aggregate of a first RU and a second RU. The data field is generated on the basis of a coded bit string included in a BCC interleaver block. The coded bit string is obtained by interleaving a data bit string on the basis of first and second parameters. The data bit string is interleaved as the data bit string is entered into the BCC interleaver block in rows on the basis of the first parameter and is read out in columns of the BCC interleaver block on the basis of the second parameter.
