Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in adapting to diverse application scenarios while minimizing power consumption and hardware complexity.

Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Use of energy by moving object

If a wake-up signal mechanism is implemented to reduce power consumption, then power consumption is reduced, but the accuracy of wake-up determination may deteriorate due to potential false wake-ups

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower consumptionVSAvoidwake-up determination accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing double confirmation of wake-up signals before fully activating the receiver. The first wake-up signal triggers a preliminary wake-up state, and a second wake-up signal is required to confirm the actual wake-up need, preventing false wake-ups while maintaining low power consumption during idle periods

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback by using the result of the first wake-up signal determination to control the monitoring behavior for the second wake-up signal. When the first wake-up signal is detected, the system transitions to a state where it actively monitors for confirmation signals, creating a feedback loop that balances power saving with reliable wake-up detection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If monitoring for wake-up signals is continuously performed, then wake-up accuracy is improved, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewake-up detection reliabilityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies periodic action by transitioning the receiver between sleep states and active monitoring states based on the periodic arrival of wake-up signal opportunities. Instead of continuous monitoring, the system activates only at specific periodic intervals when wake-up signals may be present, significantly reducing power consumption while maintaining detection capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary detection of wake-up signals in a low-power state before committing to full active monitoring. This preliminary action allows the system to avoid continuous high-power operation while still being able to detect and respond to actual wake-up signals when they occur

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
