Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If separate indication information is sent for sensing measurement results and communication data reception, then each type of feedback can be transmitted accurately, but transmission overhead increases and system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeedback accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines sensing measurement result indication information and communication data reception indication information into a single unified indication information structure. This merging approach allows both types of feedback to be transmitted simultaneously through one channel, reducing transmission overhead and simplifying the system architecture while maintaining accurate feedback for both sensing and communication functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The indication information structure is designed with multi-functionality to serve both sensing measurement feedback and communication data reception feedback. By creating a universal indication mechanism that can accommodate multiple types of feedback information, the system eliminates the need for separate dedicated channels for each feedback type, thereby reducing overall system complexity.

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

2Loss of information

If multiple separate feedback messages are used for sensing and communication, then complete information can be conveyed, but transmission overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidtransmission overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple feedback messages into a single unified indication information structure that conveys both sensing measurement result validity and communication data reception correctness. This combining approach ensures that complete information about both sensing and communication status is transmitted through one feedback message, eliminating the need for multiple separate messages and thereby reducing transmission overhead and energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a new dimensional structure to the feedback mechanism by organizing indication information in a hierarchical manner with indication information bits at different levels. This dimensional reorganization allows efficient packing of multiple feedback bits into a compact structure, maximizing information density while minimizing transmission resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
