Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the terminal uses a fixed power allocation method based on predefined rules, then the implementation is simple and low-cost, but the method cannot adapt to various resource configuration scenarios particularly when the number of antenna ports exceeds the maximum supported by the terminal

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to various resource configuration scenariosVSAvoidpower allocation method complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic power allocation by allowing the terminal to determine transmission power based on the actual number of antenna ports configured by the network device. The power allocation ratio is dynamically adjusted according to the configuration information of sounding reference signal resources, enabling the system to adapt to different resource scenarios without requiring complex predefined rules for each case

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the power allocation parameter (power ratio) based on the number of antenna ports. When the configured antenna ports differ from the maximum supported ports, the power allocation ratio is adjusted accordingly to ensure optimal power distribution. This parameter change approach allows the simple power allocation method to handle various configuration scenarios effectively

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Use of energy by moving object

If the terminal scales power evenly among all antenna ports, then the power distribution is simple and uniform, but this approach does not optimize power utilization when the actual number of transmitted ports is less than the maximum supported ports

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower utilization efficiencyVSAvoidpower calculation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by allocating power differently to different antenna ports based on their actual usage. Instead of uniform power distribution, the power allocation ratio is adjusted locally for each port according to the configured number of antenna ports versus the maximum supported ports, optimizing power utilization for the specific transmission scenario

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent modifies the power allocation parameter dynamically based on the ratio of configured antenna ports to maximum supported ports. This parameter change enables the system to achieve optimal power utilization efficiency while maintaining relatively simple power calculation through a clear mathematical relationship

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
