Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If uplink data transmission is performed to multiple transmission-reception-points with independent parameter settings, then reliability of uplink data communications is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereliability of uplink data communicationsVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the uplink transmission by dividing it into multiple transmission-reception-point (TRP) targets, where each TRP receives independently configured transmissions with separate parameter settings. This segmentation allows the system to achieve diversity gains and improved reliability by transmitting to multiple separate points rather than a single point, directly resolving the contradiction between reliability and complexity through structured division of the transmission task.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by enabling independent parameter configuration for each transmission-reception-point, allowing optimal local settings for each TRP based on its specific channel conditions and requirements. This localized optimization ensures that each segment of the transmission system operates at peak efficiency, improving overall reliability without requiring uniform complex configuration across the entire system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If beam diversity is utilized through multiple transmission-reception-points, then reliability is improved, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovereliabilityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements partial action by allowing the wireless device to transmit to multiple TRPs with independently configured parameters, where the device can selectively activate transmission to specific TRPs based on channel conditions and power availability. This partial activation approach enables the system to achieve diversity gains through multiple TRPs while consuming less power than would be required for full simultaneous transmission to all configured TRPs, thus resolving the contradiction between reliability and power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
