Solution Overview

Problem

Current communication methods using multiple antennas, such as MIMO, face limitations in performance improvement, especially in multicast/broadcast communications, where existing technologies do not effectively adapt to varying relative speeds between communication apparatuses.

Innovation Solution

A transmission apparatus that differentiates signals based on relative speeds by using distinct frequency domains for communication with apparatuses moving at different speeds, employing a signal processor to generate and transmit signals addressed to specific communication apparatuses with tailored frequency allocations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a single frequency domain is used for transmitting signals to all communication apparatuses, then device complexity is reduced, but communication performance deteriorates due to inability to adapt to varying relative speeds

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication performanceVSAvoidsignal processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The frequency domain is segmented into multiple subbands, with different subbands allocated to communication apparatuses based on their relative speeds. This allows the system to adapt to varying speed conditions while maintaining manageable signal processing through structured frequency allocation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different frequency domains are assigned to different communication apparatuses according to their specific relative speeds. This local optimization of frequency allocation ensures each apparatus receives signals optimized for its motion characteristics, improving overall communication performance without requiring complete system redesign.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If frequency domain segmentation is implemented to adapt to different relative speeds, then communication performance is improved, but device complexity increases due to multiple signal processing paths

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata reception qualityVSAvoidtransmission apparatus complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the frequency domain parameter of transmitted signals based on the relative speed of communication apparatuses. By adjusting which frequency subband is used for transmission, the system adapts to different motion conditions and improves data reception quality without requiring complex structural modifications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The frequency domain allocation is dynamically adjusted according to the relative speed of each communication apparatus. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to respond to changing motion conditions in real-time, improving reliability while maintaining a relatively simple transmission structure through parameter adjustment rather than structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
