Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional access technologies (FDMA, TDMA, CDMA, OFDM) are used to allocate spectrum resources, then communication channels can be established for multiple users, but spectrum utilization becomes suboptimal due to rigid pre-designed channel allocations and guard bands

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespectrum utilization efficiencyVSAvoidwasted spectrum resources
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic spectrum allocation by allowing communication channels to adapt their frequency and time resources based on real-time spectrum conditions. Instead of fixed pre-designed channels, the system continuously monitors spectrum usage and dynamically assigns frequency-time cells to users, enabling spectrum resources to be flexibly reallocated according to actual demand and availability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameters of channel allocation by transitioning from fixed frequency and time assignments to variable assignments. The patent modifies allocation parameters dynamically based on detected spectrum conditions, adjusting which frequency-time cells are assigned to which users, thereby optimizing spectrum utilization efficiency and reducing wasted resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If guard bands are inserted between frequency channels to avoid adjacent channel interference, then channel isolation is improved, but available transmission bandwidth is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechannel isolationVSAvoidavailable bandwidth
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes the traditional guard band requirement by implementing interference cancellation techniques. Instead of allocating unused frequency bands as guard bands, the system actively detects and cancels adjacent channel interference through signal processing, thereby eliminating the need for guard bands and recovering the bandwidth that would otherwise be wasted.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Device complexity

If pre-designed channel allocations are used to simplify resource management, then system complexity is reduced, but adaptability to varying spectrum conditions deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource management complexityVSAvoidspectrum condition adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the system continuously monitors spectrum conditions and uses this information to dynamically adjust channel allocations. The feedback loop detects spectrum usage patterns, identifies available frequency-time cells, and reallocates resources accordingly, enabling the system to adapt to varying spectrum conditions while maintaining automated resource management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
