1Reliability

If coherent modulation scheme is used, then performance is improved, but power consumption and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs dynamic modulation where the same transmitted signal can be interpreted differently by coherent and noncoherent receivers based on their respective capabilities. The system dynamically adapts the interpretation of ternary sequences (elements -1, 0, 1) to match receiver type, allowing coherent receivers to achieve high performance while noncoherent receivers consume less power.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter space by introducing ternary sequences with three distinct elements (-1, 0, 1) instead of traditional binary sequences. This parameter change enables the system to convey more information per symbol while maintaining compatibility with both coherent and noncoherent reception methods, resolving the contradiction between performance and power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If coherent modulation scheme is used, then performance is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveperformanceVSAvoidcomplexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal communication system where a single transmitter using ternary sequences can serve both coherent and noncoherent receivers. The same signal structure achieves high performance for coherent receivers while remaining interpretable by simpler noncoherent receivers, eliminating the need for separate transmission systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the signal interpretation process by allowing different receiver types to process the same ternary sequence differently. Coherent receivers utilize phase information for high-performance decoding, while noncoherent receivers use energy detection, effectively segmenting the reception methodology based on device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If different modulation schemes are used for coherent and noncoherent receivers, then receiver capabilities are optimized, but system compatibility decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereceiver capabilitiesVSAvoidsystem compatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements universality by designing a single ternary sequence transmission system that simultaneously optimizes for both coherent and noncoherent receivers. The transmitter uses ternary sequences that can be decoded with high performance by coherent receivers while also being detectable by noncoherent receivers, achieving multi-functionality in one system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The ternary sequence acts as an intermediary between coherent and noncoherent reception methods. It carries information that can be extracted through phase-coherent detection for optimal performance or through simpler energy-based detection for low-complexity receivers, bridging the gap between the two reception paradigms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
