Solution Overview

Problem

Existing multiplexing techniques in wireless communication rely on sinusoidal-based signal modulation, which limits spectral efficiency and requires sinusoidal orthogonality, making them less efficient in handling high-degree polynomials and prone to coherent interference.

Innovation Solution

1Productivity

If sinusoidal-based signal modulation is used for multiplexing, then the system can achieve basic signal transmission, but spectral efficiency is limited and sinusoidal orthogonality is required

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the fundamental parameter of signal modulation from sinusoidal functions to polynomial functions. By using orthogonal polynomials (such as Legendre, Chebyshev, or Hermite polynomials) instead of sinusoidal carriers, the system achieves higher spectral efficiency without requiring sinusoidal orthogonality. The polynomial-based modulation allows for more flexible signal shaping and better spectral confinement.

Solution Approach 2:

The patent substitutes the traditional sinusoidal modulation mechanism with a polynomial-based modulation mechanism. Instead of using trigonometric functions to modulate signals, the system employs polynomial functions that can be orthogonally decomposed, thereby replacing the sinusoidal orthogonality requirement with polynomial orthogonality, which offers greater flexibility in spectral management.

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the signal representation parameter from sinusoidal waves to polynomial functions. Orthogonal polynomials have inherent properties that provide better resistance to coherent interference because they can be designed to have specific root distributions and energy concentrations, allowing the system to maintain reliability while improving spectral efficiency.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs a composite approach by combining orthogonal polynomial functions with division multiplexing techniques. This creates a hybrid modulation scheme where multiple polynomial-based subchannels are combined, providing both interference resistance through orthogonality and high spectral efficiency through efficient resource allocation.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the high-degree polynomial information into multiple lower-degree orthogonal polynomial subchannels. By decomposing the high-degree polynomial into a sum of orthogonal polynomial components, the system can transmit more information while each individual component remains resistant to coherent interference due to the orthogonality property.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the transmission parameter from direct high-degree polynomial modulation to orthogonal polynomial decomposition. This parameter change allows the system to maintain high information capacity through the richness of polynomial representations while avoiding coherent interference through the orthogonal structure that distributes energy across different spatial-frequency domains.

Inventive Principle:

AI summary

A method for communicating using polynomial-based signals. In such a method, a set of basis polynomial functions used to generate waveforms may be identified, wherein each of the basis polynomial functions in the set of basis polynomial functions is orthogonal to each of the other basis polynomial functions in the set of basis polynomial functions in a coordinate space. The set of basis polynomial functions may be combined into a message polynomial. The message polynomial may be convolved with a reference polynomial to produce a transmission polynomial. From the transmission polynomial, a sequence of amplitude values may be generated. Finally, a signal may be transmitted based on the sequence of amplitude values, which may be further modified based on, for example, instantaneous spectral analysis. In some embodiments, orthogonal polynomials may include Chebyshev or Cairns polynomials.
