Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If multiple communication apparatuses share one wireless communication resource, then spectrum utilization is improved, but radio wave interference between communication apparatuses increases
Solution Approach 1:
A radio wave propagation controlling apparatus is introduced as an intermediary device between communication apparatuses. This apparatus includes a reflection controlling section that reflects radio waves toward intended receivers, and a refraction controlling section that refracts radio waves to control their propagation paths. By using this intermediary apparatus, the patent enables multiple communication apparatuses to share wireless resources while actively controlling and reducing radio wave interference through physical manipulation of wave propagation.
2Reliability
If radio wave propagation characteristics are controlled to reduce interference, then communication quality is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The radio wave propagation controlling apparatus is divided into distinct functional sections: a reflection controlling section and a refraction controlling section. Each section independently controls specific aspects of radio wave propagation. This segmentation allows the complex task of interference control to be distributed across specialized subsystems, improving communication quality while managing device complexity through modular functional division.
3Productivity
If operational parameters are adjusted to prevent interference, then spectrum sharing efficiency is improved, but system control complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The communication control apparatus determines operational parameters for the radio wave propagation controlling apparatus based on communication environment information and interference characteristics. This feedback mechanism allows the system to dynamically adjust reflection and refraction control parameters to optimize spectrum sharing efficiency while managing control complexity through adaptive parameter adjustment rather than fixed complex control logic.
