Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If transmission information is added to each uplink data transmission, then feedback accuracy is improved, but message overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeedback accuracyVSAvoidmessage overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The transmission information is segmented into distinct fields: a serial number field indicating the transmission sequence, a total number of transmissions field indicating the maximum retry count, and a current transmission count field indicating the current attempt number. This segmentation allows the network device to process and interpret the feedback information systematically, improving accuracy while managing overhead through structured data organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If multiple transmission attempts are made for uplink data, then data transmission reliability is improved, but transmission time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission reliabilityVSAvoidtransmission time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal device includes preliminary transmission information (serial number, total transmission count, current transmission count) with each uplink data transmission. This preliminary action allows the network device to immediately understand the transmission context and provide timely feedback, enabling the terminal to make informed decisions about whether to continue retransmitting or accept the current transmission outcome, thus managing time efficiently while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The network device sends feedback information to the terminal device based on the received transmission information. This feedback mechanism allows the terminal to learn whether the network successfully received the uplink data and whether retransmission is needed. The feedback loop, combined with the transmission count information, enables the system to achieve reliable data transmission while minimizing unnecessary retransmissions and controlling overall transmission time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
