Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If theoretical calculation methods are used to evaluate interference influence, then calculation accuracy may be sufficient, but calculation time becomes excessively long

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterference evaluation accuracyVSAvoidcalculation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent pre-calculates and stores interference influence data in a lookup table before actual evaluation. By performing the computation-intensive theoretical calculations in advance and storing results, the system avoids repeating lengthy calculations during real-time interference evaluation, thus resolving the contradiction between accuracy and calculation time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a simplified model by copying essential interference characteristics into a lookup table structure. Instead of performing complete theoretical calculations during evaluation, the system copies pre-computed results from the lookup table based on measured parameters, achieving fast evaluation while maintaining accuracy through the pre-stored theoretical data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Reliability

If conventional interference calculation methods are used, then theoretical completeness is maintained, but the evaluation does not accurately reflect real-world conditions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation reliabilityVSAvoidreal-world accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the approach from purely theoretical parameter calculation to using actual measured parameters from the wireless environment. By incorporating real measurements of interference power and channel conditions into the evaluation process, the system achieves better real-world accuracy while maintaining theoretical completeness through the lookup table methodology.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a lookup table as an intermediary between theoretical calculation and real-world measurement. This intermediary structure stores pre-computed theoretical results that can be quickly queried using actual measured parameters, bridging the gap between theoretical completeness and real-world accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If detailed block-by-block SINR calculation is performed for each interference event, then comprehensive evaluation is achieved, but calculation complexity increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterference evaluation comprehensivenessVSAvoidcalculation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential parameters needed for interference evaluation (interference power, channel bandwidth, modulation scheme) from the complex wireless environment. By taking out these key parameters and using them to query pre-computed lookup tables, the system achieves comprehensive evaluation without the complexity of detailed block-by-block calculations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs the complex block-by-block SINR calculations in advance and stores the results in a lookup table. During actual interference evaluation, the system only needs to query this pre-computed table using simple parameter matching, dramatically reducing calculation complexity while maintaining comprehensive evaluation accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
