Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If multiple devices access the internet simultaneously through 5G-NR networks, then network connectivity and service availability are improved, but network congestion increases leading to performance degradation

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenetwork service availabilityVSAvoidnetwork performance quality

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic network settings adjustment where devices can change modulation schemes, routing protocols, and application settings in real-time based on current network conditions. This allows the network to adapt its behavior dynamically to handle varying traffic loads, improving both service availability and performance quality simultaneously

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs feedback mechanisms where analytic data from network performance monitoring is used to automatically adjust network settings. Devices receive feedback about network conditions and modify their transmission parameters accordingly, creating a closed-loop control system that maintains reliable performance even under congestion

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If network settings are adjusted to reduce congestion, then network performance is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenetwork performanceVSAvoidnetwork configuration complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables devices to automatically adjust their own network settings based on analytic data without requiring manual configuration or complex centralized control. Each device independently monitors its own performance and modifies its transmission parameters, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining performance

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system focuses on changing specific transmission parameters such as modulation schemes, power levels, and routing selections rather than reconfiguring entire network architectures. This targeted parameter adjustment approach improves performance while minimizing the complexity increase

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Apparatuses, systems, and techniques including APIs, subscription services, and controllers to enable one or more fifth generation new radio (5G-NR) networks to share information. For example, a processor comprising one or more circuits can perform an API or subscription service to cause a device in a radio access network (RAN) to share its analytic data with a device in a transport network, and said device in said transport network can use said analytic data to adjust its network settings to improve performance.
