Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multi-link devices are limited to connecting with access devices that support multi-links, then connection reliability is improved, but adaptability and compatibility deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables multi-link devices to perform multiple connection functions - both multi-link connections and single-link wireless connections. The device can adaptively select between different connection modes based on the capabilities of available access devices, making the multi-link device universally compatible with both multi-link and single-link access devices while maintaining reliable communication
2Stability of the object's composition
If multi-link devices are limited to connecting with access devices that support multi-links, then connection stability is improved, but application scenarios deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic connection mode selection where the multi-link device can switch between multi-link connection mode and single-link wireless connection mode based on real-time detection of access device capabilities. This dynamic adaptation allows the device to maintain stable connections while expanding into diverse application scenarios including environments with only single-link access devices available
