Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple signals/channels are transmitted simultaneously for sensing and communication purposes, then the system functionality and versatility are improved, but transmission conflicts and interference between signals/channels occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem functionalityVSAvoidtransmission reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the transmission resources by dividing time domain resources into different time slots, where different time slots are allocated for different signal/channel types (sensing signals, communication signals, hybrid signals). This segmentation prevents simultaneous transmission conflicts while maintaining the system's ability to perform multiple functions through proper resource allocation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If transmission resources are allocated for multiple signal/channel types, then the communication system's versatility is improved, but resource allocation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal/channel type supportVSAvoidresource allocation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring transmission resources and establishing priority relationships between different signal/channel types before actual transmission occurs. The network device pre-allocates time domain resources and sets priority levels for sensing signals, communication signals, and hybrid signals, which simplifies the real-time transmission decision-making process and reduces allocation complexity during operation.
