Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If transmission rate is configured based on throughput maximization, then data transmission speed is improved, but data transmission guarantee requirements of different services cannot be met
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments data streams into different service types (real-time, non-real-time, background services) and applies different transmission rate configuration strategies to each segment. This allows throughput optimization for each service category while maintaining their specific quality of service requirements, resolving the contradiction between overall productivity and individual service reliability guarantees.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different transmission rate configurations to different service types based on their specific requirements. Real-time services receive configurations optimized for latency and reliability, while background services receive configurations optimized for throughput. This local differentiation allows each service to receive tailored quality while the system as a whole achieves optimal performance.
2Ease of operation
If transmission rate is configured using a single principle, then configuration simplicity is maintained, but flexibility to meet diverse service requirements is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic transmission rate configuration where the access point automatically adjusts transmission parameters based on real-time detection of service types and network conditions. This dynamic adaptation provides flexibility for diverse services while maintaining ease of operation through automated decision-making, eliminating the need for manual configuration of each service type.
Solution Approach 2:
The access point performs self-detection of service types and self-configuration of transmission rates without requiring external intervention. The system monitors data stream characteristics, identifies service types, and automatically applies appropriate transmission rate configurations, thereby maintaining operational simplicity while achieving high adaptability to diverse service requirements.

AI summary
This application provides a transmission rate configuration method and an apparatus. An access point determines a service type of a service to which a data stream belongs, and configures a transmission rate of the data stream based on the service type. The configured transmission rate meets a requirement of the service to which the data stream belongs, thereby improving flexibility of a transmission rate configuration process, so that a downlink data transmission process meets transmission requirements of different services.
