Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate beam link management procedures are used for different beam link switch types, then each procedure can be optimized for its specific type, but resource usage increases and redundant measurements occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple separate beam link management procedures into a single unified procedure that handles different beam link switch types (intra-SSB, inter-SSB, intra-cell, inter-cell) through a common configuration framework. This merging eliminates redundant measurements and reduces resource usage while maintaining the ability to optimize for each specific switch type through the unified parameter set.
2Reliability
If multiple separate configurations are maintained for different beam link switch types, then each configuration can be finely tuned, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal beam link management configuration that serves multiple beam link switch types simultaneously. The unified configuration includes parameters that can be applied across intra-SSB, inter-SSB, intra-cell, and inter-cell switch types, reducing configuration management complexity while maintaining optimized performance for each specific type through selective parameter application.
3Measurement precision
If redundant measurements are performed for multiple beam link switch types, then measurement precision can be maintained, but processing demands increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and eliminates redundant measurements from multiple separate beam link management procedures by identifying which measurements are common across different beam link switch types. The unified configuration performs each unique measurement only once and reuses the results appropriately, maintaining measurement precision while significantly reducing processing demands.
