Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Power

If maximum output power requirements are applied to unlicensed band power class 3 terminals, then transmission power can be increased, but communication quality deteriorates due to excessive power reduction

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission powerVSAvoidcommunication quality
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces A-MPR values as specific parameter adjustments to the maximum power reduction settings. By defining different A-MPR values (e.g., 0 dB, 3 dB, 6 dB) based on terminal capabilities and channel conditions, the system optimizes transmission power parameters to prevent excessive power reduction while maintaining communication quality in unlicensed bands.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If transmission power is increased to improve communication quality, then reliability improves, but regulatory compliance deteriorates due to exceeding power limits

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication qualityVSAvoidregulatory compliance
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic power management through A-MPR values that adapt to different operating conditions. The system dynamically adjusts transmission power within regulatory limits by applying appropriate A-MPR values based on terminal power class, channel bandwidth, and environmental conditions, ensuring both compliance and communication quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

By introducing A-MPR as a controllable parameter, the system can precisely adjust transmission power to meet regulatory requirements. The A-MPR values are specifically designed to ensure power output remains within legal limits while optimizing communication performance for different scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If A-MPR values are optimized for communication quality, then reliability improves, but device complexity increases due to additional power management mechanisms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication qualityVSAvoidpower management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies A-MPR values selectively based on specific conditions rather than universally. The system uses partial action by applying A-MPR only when needed (e.g., for power class 3 terminals in unlicensed bands with specific channel bandwidths), avoiding unnecessary complexity in scenarios where simple power class limits suffice.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
