VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If conventional pre-coding methods are used in cooperative relay systems, then the transmitter can transmit data to multiple receivers simultaneously, but the transmission performance becomes unequal across different receivers

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission rateVSAvoidtransmission performance equality
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the pre-coding process into two distinct stages: first obtaining local optimal pre-coding matrixes for each relay station independently, then synthesizing these into a global optimal pre-coding matrix through SVD decomposition. This segmentation allows each relay station to be optimized individually while maintaining overall system performance, resolving the contradiction between transmission rate and performance equality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the local optimal pre-coding matrixes from multiple relay stations into a single synthesized global optimal pre-coding matrix using Singular Value Decomposition. This combining process ensures that all receivers receive equal attention and achieve similar transmission performance while maintaining high data transmission rates through parallel transmission to multiple relay stations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Productivity

If point-to-multipoint pre-coding scheme is applied, then different data packets can be transmitted in parallel to multiple receivers, but the same data cannot be transmitted to multiple relay stations with similar performance

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by first determining pre-coding matrixes tailored to each relay station's specific channel conditions. Each relay station receives a customized pre-coding matrix optimized for its local channel characteristics, ensuring that each receiver achieves optimal transmission performance for its specific conditions while maintaining fairness across all receivers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal solution by synthesizing the local optimal pre-coding matrixes into a global optimal pre-coding matrix that works for all relay stations simultaneously. This universal pre-coding matrix can be applied to transmit the same data to multiple relay stations with consistent performance, making the system adaptable to various channel conditions while maintaining throughput efficiency.
