Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If multiple wireless communication modules are used, then communication bandwidth is increased, but power consumption increases and device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic adjustment of the number of active wireless communication modules based on real-time detection of radar signals and communication conditions. The system transitions from a static configuration to a dynamic one where modules are activated or deactivated according to environmental factors, resolving the contradiction between bandwidth availability and power consumption by using only necessary modules.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the operational parameters of the wireless communication modules by adjusting the number of active modules based on detected radar signals and communication requirements. This parameter adjustment allows the system to optimize the balance between communication bandwidth and power consumption by activating additional modules only when necessary.
2Quantity of substance
If multiple wireless communication modules are used, then communication bandwidth is increased, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service functionality where the communication relay device automatically determines the optimal number of modules to activate based on radar signal detection and communication conditions, without requiring manual user configuration. The system autonomously manages module activation, reducing operational complexity while maintaining high bandwidth capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the number of active modules based on real-time conditions, transforming the static complex configuration into a dynamic adaptive system. This reduces device complexity by allowing the system to use only the necessary number of modules for current operations rather than managing all modules continuously.
3Use of energy by moving object
If a single wireless module is used for radar monitoring, then power consumption is reduced, but communication reliability decreases due to interruptions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent dynamically switches between different operational modes: when radar signals are detected, the system activates additional wireless modules to maintain communication continuity while another module performs radar monitoring. This dynamic adaptation ensures communication reliability is maintained without permanently increasing power consumption, as modules are deactivated when radar conditions clear.
Solution Approach 2:
The system prepares for potential communication interruptions by having multiple wireless modules available and pre-configured. When radar signals are detected, the system can quickly activate backup modules to cushion against the interruption caused by radar monitoring requirements, ensuring continuous communication availability.
4Object-affected harmful factors
If DFS function is implemented with CAC, then radar interference is avoided, but communication interruptions occur when radar signals are detected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent dynamically adjusts the number of active wireless modules based on real-time radar signal detection. When radar signals are detected, the system activates additional modules to maintain communication continuity while one module performs radar monitoring, thereby reducing communication interruptions compared to traditional single-module DFS implementation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces additional wireless modules as intermediaries to bridge the communication gap created by radar monitoring requirements. These extra modules act as mediators that can handle communication traffic while one module is occupied with radar detection, reducing the impact of communication interruptions.
