Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If the base station manages multiple directional wireless links across multiple cells simultaneously, then connectivity coverage is improved, but coordination complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the service area into multiple cells, each with its own directional wireless link. The base station manages these cells independently through separate timing coordination mechanisms, reducing the complexity of managing the entire network simultaneously while expanding overall coverage area.
Solution Approach 2:
The base station generates timing schedules in advance for each cell before actual communication occurs. These pre-computed schedules coordinate transmission timing across multiple cells, enabling complex multi-cell operation without real-time coordination overhead.
2Reliability
If the base station generates and maintains timing schedules for multiple cells, then transmission coordination is improved, but processing load increases
Solution Approach 1:
The timing schedule is segmented into cell-specific portions, with each cell having its own timing parameters and schedule. This segmentation allows the base station to process and manage timing information for each cell independently, reducing the processing load compared to managing a single monolithic schedule for all cells.
Solution Approach 2:
The base station updates timing schedules periodically rather than continuously. By refreshing schedule information at predetermined intervals, the system maintains reliable transmission coordination while reducing the total processing load compared to continuous schedule generation and updates.
3Adaptability or versatility
If directional wireless links are activated dynamically across cells, then network adaptability is improved, but connectivity stability decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The base station pre-generates timing schedules that anticipate future link activations and deactivations. By preparing timing information in advance for dynamically activated links, the system maintains connectivity stability even when directional wireless links are activated and deactivated dynamically based on network conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback mechanisms where the base station monitors actual link performance and adjusts timing schedules accordingly. This feedback loop allows the network to adapt to changing conditions while maintaining stable connectivity by correcting timing issues that arise from dynamic link activation.
