Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If full duplex operation is implemented in wireless communication systems, then data transmission efficiency is improved, but self-interference increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission efficiencyVSAvoidself-interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies self-interference cancellation technology to convert the harmful self-interference signal into a beneficial effect. By measuring the self-interference channel and generating a cancellation signal that is opposite in phase to the self-interference, the system effectively nullifies the harmful interference, allowing full duplex operation to proceed with minimal self-interference impact.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary cancellation signal that acts as a mediator between the transmitted signal and the self-interference. This cancellation signal, generated through self-interference channel measurement and processing, interferes constructively with the self-interference signal to cancel it out, enabling simultaneous transmission and reception without significant self-interference.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Temperature

If transmission power is increased to improve signal coverage, then communication range is extended, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal coverageVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic power control where the base station adjusts its transmission power level based on real-time channel conditions, user equipment power status, and full duplex operation requirements. This dynamic adjustment allows the system to use minimum necessary power for effective communication while avoiding excessive power consumption, adapting power levels to actual operational needs rather than maintaining constant high power.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the transmission power parameter dynamically based on multiple factors including distance to user equipment, channel state information, and full duplex configuration. By adjusting this critical parameter in response to varying operational conditions, the system achieves effective signal coverage when needed while minimizing power consumption during periods when full coverage is not required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Duration of action of moving object

If user equipment power is optimized to extend service period, then battery life is extended, but channel state information reporting accuracy may be affected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice periodVSAvoidchannel state information reporting accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of moving objectVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the base station receives channel state information reports from user equipment and uses this information to adjust transmission parameters and power levels. This feedback loop allows the system to maintain accurate channel state information through periodic reporting while optimizing power consumption, as the feedback enables adaptive power control that extends service period without significantly degrading measurement accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
