Solution Overview

Problem

Existing data transmission methods in wireless access systems are inefficient in error detection and correction, as they do not accurately consider the size of error detection codes when segmenting data blocks, leading to delayed error detection and complex restoration processes.

Innovation Solution

A method for segmenting data blocks in wireless access systems that takes into account the size of error detection codes, calculating the number of code blocks, and allocating data efficiently, allowing for rapid error detection and correction by attaching error detection codes to each code block.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If data blocks are segmented without considering error detection code size, then segmentation is simple, but error detection is delayed and restoration becomes complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesegmentation simplicityVSAvoiderror detection efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides a transport block into multiple code blocks, with each code block independently processed and equipped with its own CRC code. This segmentation allows parallel error detection across multiple smaller units rather than waiting for complete data restoration, thereby improving error detection efficiency while maintaining operational simplicity through standardized segmentation procedures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent attaches CRC error detection codes to each code block before transmission. This preliminary action enables the receiving end to perform error detection on individual code blocks as they are received, rather than waiting for complete data restoration, thus improving error detection timing and efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If error detection codes are attached to each code block, then error detection accuracy improves, but data processing overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveerror detection accuracyVSAvoiddata processing overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting data into smaller code blocks with individual CRC codes, the patent improves error detection accuracy for each block. The standardized segmentation process and efficient CRC calculation methods minimize the additional processing overhead, making the improved accuracy worthwhile

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent optimizes CRC code parameters (such as polynomial selection and code length) to achieve high error detection accuracy with minimal overhead. By carefully selecting CRC parameters that provide sufficient error detection capability without excessive redundancy, the system balances accuracy improvement against processing overhead

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Quantity of substance

If code block size is increased to reduce number of blocks, then transmission overhead decreases, but error detection and restoration complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of code blocksVSAvoidrestoration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments data into multiple manageable code blocks rather than using fewer larger blocks. This segmentation reduces restoration complexity because errors in one code block do not affect others, and each block can be independently processed and restored using standardized procedures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces CRC codes as intermediary elements that facilitate error detection and restoration. These intermediary error detection codes enable the system to identify and handle errors efficiently, reducing the overall complexity of the restoration process by providing clear error indicators and structured restoration pathways

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
