Solution Overview

Problem

The lack of a registration process for secondary systems in the cognitive radio technology leads to interference between secondary systems and the master system, making it difficult to track the source of interference and coordinate the use of TVWS, resulting in reduced network performance.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for secondary systems to register in a database, which involves sending a registration request with necessary parameters, processing the registration, and assigning a unique registration code, ensuring the system is authorized and does not interfere with the master system, allowing for effective coordination and interference reduction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If secondary systems opportunistically occupy spectrum resources without registration, then spectrum utilization is improved, but interference control and source tracking become difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespectrum utilizationVSAvoidinterference control
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a registration mechanism where secondary systems must register with the database before occupying spectrum resources. This preliminary action records the identity, location, and operational parameters of secondary systems, enabling later interference source tracking and coordination while maintaining efficient spectrum utilization through authorized opportunistic access.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If multiple secondary systems operate without coordination, then access to TVWS is simplified, but interference between secondary systems increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess to TVWSVSAvoidinterference between secondary systems
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent establishes a feedback mechanism where the database stores registration information of all secondary systems and provides this information to each secondary system. This enables secondary systems to receive feedback about other systems operating in the same area, allowing them to adjust their operations to avoid interference while maintaining easy access through automated database queries.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If a registration process is implemented for secondary systems, then interference source tracking is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterference source trackingVSAvoidregistration process
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a centralized database as an intermediary between secondary systems and the master system. The database handles all registration, information storage, and coordination functions, simplifying the complexity for individual secondary systems while enabling comprehensive interference source tracking. The database acts as a mediator that manages the registration process and provides necessary information to all parties.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
