Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the transmission bandwidth is increased to support ISAC applications, then the sensing and communication performance is improved, but the device's maximum transmission bandwidth capacity is exceeded

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the wide bandwidth into multiple Transmission Bandwidth Parts (BWPs), each within the device's maximum transmission capability. The terminal determines multiple BWPs based on configuration information and transmits different signals or signal portions in different BWPs, enabling the system to support bandwidths exceeding device limits while maintaining reliable transmission within each BWP segment.

Inventive Principle:
