Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If uplink data transmission uses multiple transmission-reception-points with independent parameter configuration, then reliability of uplink data communications is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereliability of uplink data communicationsVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the uplink transmission by dividing it into multiple transmission-reception-point (TRP) paths, where each TRP is configured with independent parameters. This segmentation allows the transmission to be distributed across multiple independent channels, improving reliability through diversity while managing complexity by treating each TRP as a separate configurable entity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic parameter configuration for each TRP, allowing the network to independently adjust transmission parameters (such as power, timing, frequency) for each transmission-reception-point based on channel conditions. This dynamic adaptation improves reliability by optimizing each path independently while maintaining manageable system complexity through standardized configuration mechanisms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If uplink data transmission uses multiple transmission-reception-points, then beam diversity is enhanced, but use of energy increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebeam diversityVSAvoiduse of energy by user equipment
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by configuring different transmission parameters for each TRP based on local channel conditions. Each TRP receives customized configuration information tailored to its specific propagation path, allowing the system to enhance beam diversity through localized optimization while avoiding unnecessary energy expenditure on suboptimal paths

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes parameter changes by dynamically adjusting transmission parameters (power levels, resource allocation, modulation schemes) for each TRP based on channel quality indicators. This allows the system to enhance beam diversity by adapting parameters locally for each transmission path while minimizing overall energy consumption by reducing power on poorer channels and concentrating it on better channels

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
