Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently parsing data into spatial streams, particularly when system configurations do not satisfy certain constraints, leading to improper data recovery and exclusion of desirable data rates.

Innovation Solution

The method involves selecting a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) and encoding information bits, with a spatial stream parser that uses either a first set of parsing rules if constraints are met or a second set of rules if not, to ensure unambiguous decoding across various system configurations, including those that initially do not satisfy parsing constraints.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a single set of parsing rules is used for all system configurations, then the parsing process is simple, but system configurations that do not satisfy parsing constraints cannot be properly decoded

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompatibility with various system configurationsVSAvoidparsing rule complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic parsing rules that adapt based on system configuration parameters. The parser dynamically selects between a first set of parsing rules and a second set of parsing rules depending on whether the system configuration satisfies certain constraints, allowing the system to handle both standard and non-standard configurations appropriately

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parsing parameters (rules) based on system configuration parameters. When the system configuration satisfies parsing constraints, one set of rules is applied; when it does not satisfy the constraints, a different set of rules is applied, enabling flexible adaptation to various operational conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If padding bits are added to ensure coded bits fit inside integer number of OFDM symbols, then data transmission is reliable, but data rates are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission reliabilityVSAvoiddata rate
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parsing approach based on system configuration to reduce or eliminate the need for padding bits. By using appropriate parsing rules for different configurations, the system can maintain reliable data transmission while improving data rates, particularly for configurations that previously required extensive padding

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If certain system configurations are excluded to satisfy parsing constraints, then decoding is simpler, but operational flexibility and desirable data rates are lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata rateVSAvoidparsing constraint complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the parsing system dynamic by implementing conditional logic that selects different parsing rules based on system configuration. This allows the system to support a broader range of configurations including those with higher data rates, while maintaining manageable complexity through structured rule selection based on configuration parameters

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

In a method for parsing data in a data unit into a number of spatial streams, a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) is selected from a plurality of MCSs. Information bits are encoded using one or more encoders to generate coded bits, wherein the number of encoders used depends on the selected MCS. The coded bits into a number of spatial streams according to a first set of parsing rules if the coded bits satisfy a parsing constraint. The coded bits are parsed into the number of spatial streams according to a second set of parsing rules if the coded bits do not satisfy the parsing constraint.
