Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If multiple antenna panels are used for uplink transmission, then transmission rate and data capacity are improved, but device complexity and port-to-panel mapping complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission rateVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the antenna system into multiple independent panels, where each panel can be configured with its own precoding matrix from a restricted set. This segmentation allows the system to achieve high transmission rates through parallel panel operation while managing complexity by treating each panel as an independent unit with simplified configuration rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different precoding matrix restrictions to different panels based on their specific characteristics and capabilities. Each panel can use a tailored precoding matrix from its designated set, optimizing local performance while maintaining overall system manageability through localized rather than centralized complex configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Ease of operation

If precoding matrix sets are restricted per panel, then port-to-panel mapping is simplified, but performance degradation may occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveport-to-panel mappingVSAvoidperformance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameters of precoding matrices by creating restricted sets with specific properties tailored to each panel's capabilities. This parameter customization simplifies the mapping process while maintaining optimal performance by ensuring each panel uses precoding matrices appropriate to its characteristics rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary configuration of precoding matrix sets for each panel before actual transmission operations. By pre-defining appropriate precoding matrices and their restrictions, the system simplifies real-time port-to-panel mapping while ensuring performance requirements are met through careful advance selection of suitable precoding options for each panel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
