Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the 1TX/1RX communication format is used for wireless IO devices, then device simplicity is maintained, but power consumption increases and data throughput is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic communication modes that adapt between 1TX/1RX format and multi-packet formats based on application requirements. The system dynamically adjusts the number of data packets transmitted per communication frame and modifies transmission timing to optimize power consumption while maintaining compatibility with simple 1TX/1RX devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes communication parameters such as the number of data packets per frame, packet transmission timing, and frame structure based on detected application performance requirements. These parameter adjustments allow the system to reduce power consumption by optimizing transmission frequency and packet count without requiring hardware changes.
2Device complexity
If the 1TX/1RX communication format is used, then device simplicity is maintained, but data throughput is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically switches between communication modes, using enhanced multi-packet formats for latency-sensitive applications requiring high throughput while maintaining 1TX/1RX compatibility for standard applications. This dynamic adaptation allows throughput optimization without compromising device simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments data transmission into multiple packets within communication frames, allowing parallel or sequential transmission of multiple data units. This segmentation increases effective throughput by utilizing available communication channels more efficiently while maintaining the simplicity of the underlying 1TX/1RX protocol.
3Device complexity
If the 1TX/1RX communication format is used, then device simplicity is maintained, but collisions between data packets and acknowledgments increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary scheduling of data packet transmissions within communication frames, establishing predetermined time slots and transmission sequences before actual data exchange. This preliminary action organizes communication traffic to prevent collisions between data packets and acknowledgments while maintaining 1TX/1RX simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts transmission timing and packet scheduling based on detected application requirements and communication conditions. By adaptively modifying transmission patterns, the system reduces collision probability in latency-sensitive applications while preserving compatibility with simple 1TX/1RX devices.
