Solution Overview

Problem

In wireless communication systems, competing for transmission channels causes delays in real-time data transmission, and time-division multiplexing methods further introduce waiting times, making it difficult to transmit data in real time.

Innovation Solution

A communication device with modules for identifying real-time data, predicting arrival times, scheduling data transmission, reserving resources, and transmitting data in advance to secure channels before data arrival, reducing competition delays.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If communication devices compete for transmission channels, then channel utilization is improved, but transmission delay increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechannel utilizationVSAvoidtransmission delay
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by predicting the arrival time of real-time data before it actually arrives. The prediction module uses historical arrival time information to forecast when data will arrive, and the scheduling module pre-allocates transmission resources based on this prediction. This allows the device to prepare transmission channels in advance, eliminating the need to wait for data arrival before competing for channels, thus reducing transmission delay while maintaining channel utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If time-division multiplexing is used to avoid channel competition, then collision is reduced, but waiting time for time slot allocation increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecollision avoidanceVSAvoidwaiting time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of waiting for pre-defined time slots as in traditional TDM, the system performs preliminary prediction of data arrival times and proactively schedules transmission resources beforehand. This shifts the timing mechanism from passive waiting to active preparation, reducing waiting time while maintaining reliable collision avoidance through reserved resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces dynamic resource allocation based on predicted data arrival patterns rather than static time-division multiplexing. The scheduling module adjusts transmission resource allocation dynamically according to prediction results, allowing the system to adapt to varying data arrival patterns and reduce waiting time while maintaining collision avoidance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Speed

If real-time data transmission is prioritized, then transmission speed is improved, but resource allocation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission speedVSAvoidresource allocation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses feedback mechanisms where the prediction module continuously monitors actual data arrival times and compares them with predicted times. This feedback is used to refine future predictions and adjust resource allocation strategies. The feedback loop automates the complexity of real-time resource allocation, making it manageable while maintaining high transmission speed for real-time data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The prediction module uses historical arrival time information stored in the identification module to generate its own prediction results without external intervention. The scheduling module automatically allocates resources based on these self-generated predictions, reducing the need for complex external resource allocation mechanisms while prioritizing real-time data transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
