Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing radio access technology is used, then system simplicity is maintained, but communication capacity and reliability are insufficient for next-generation requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the communication system into multiple access links (first access link for initial access, second access link for data transmission) with different modulation and coding schemes. This segmentation allows optimized reliability for each link type without requiring complete system redesign, resolving the contradiction between improved reliability and system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic adaptation by selecting different modulation orders and coding rates based on channel conditions and service requirements. The system dynamically adjusts transmission parameters to achieve target block error rates, enabling reliable communication without fixed complex configurations for all scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If higher communication capacity is achieved through advanced techniques, then data rate increases, but latency increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication capacityVSAvoidcommunication latency
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes key transmission parameters including modulation order, coding rate, and resource allocation based on channel conditions and service requirements. By dynamically adjusting these parameters, the system achieves high communication capacity while minimizing latency through optimized transmission efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary channel estimation and quality assessment before data transmission to pre-determine optimal transmission parameters. This preliminary action enables the system to prepare appropriate modulation and coding schemes in advance, reducing processing delays and achieving both high capacity and low latency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If millimeter wave frequencies are used, then communication capacity increases, but signal reliability deteriorates due to propagation challenges

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication capacityVSAvoidsignal reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces reference signals as intermediaries to facilitate channel estimation and quality assessment at millimeter wave frequencies. These reference signals enable the receiver to accurately estimate channel conditions and provide feedback for adaptive modulation and coding, thereby maintaining signal reliability while utilizing high-capacity millimeter wave frequencies.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where channel quality information is measured and reported back to the transmitter. This feedback enables closed-loop adaptive transmission, allowing the system to adjust modulation and coding schemes based on actual channel conditions, thus maintaining reliable communication at millimeter wave frequencies with high communication capacity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
