VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If the distance between transmitter and receiver is increased, then the coverage area is expanded, but the reception performance of the signal decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoverage areaVSAvoidreception performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-generating multiple candidate convolution patterns and storing them in a buffer before they are needed for signal processing. This allows the system to quickly select and apply appropriate patterns when processing received signals at various distances, maintaining reception performance across extended coverage areas without requiring real-time pattern generation.

2Reliability

If signal processing complexity is increased to improve reception performance, then the reception performance increases, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereception performanceVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the functions of pattern generation, pattern storage, and pattern selection into an integrated convolutional encoder system. By combining these functions and pre-generating patterns, the system achieves improved reception performance through complex signal processing while avoiding the proportional increase in device complexity that would result from implementing these functions separately in real-time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
