Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If coordinated operation is implemented between base stations of different operators, then communication efficiency and flexibility are enhanced, but system complexity and difficulty of management increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a serving base station as an intermediary that manages non-serving base stations from different operators. The serving base station receives setting information from non-serving base stations and forwards it to the terminal, acting as a mediator that enables inter-operator coordination without requiring direct complex interactions between all base stations. This resolves the technical contradiction by enhancing communication efficiency through multi-operator coordination while managing system complexity through the intermediary role of the serving base station.
2Adaptability or versatility
If concurrent coupling of multiple base stations from different operators is enabled, then adaptability and versatility of the communication system are improved, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring system state increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the management of multiple base stations from different operators into a unified cell group structure managed by the serving base station. Multiple cell groups from different operators are combined under single terminal management, with the serving base station consolidating setting information from multiple non-serving base stations. This resolves the technical contradiction by improving system adaptability through multi-operator support while simplifying state monitoring through centralized management at the serving base station.
3Adaptability or versatility
If setting information from multiple operators is exchanged and managed, then communication flexibility is enhanced, but information management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the management of setting information from multiple operators and consolidates it at the serving base station. The serving base station receives setting information from non-serving base stations of different operators, processes it separately, and then provides unified configuration to the terminal. This resolves the technical contradiction by enhancing communication flexibility through multi-operator setting information exchange while reducing information management complexity through the extraction and centralization of management functions at the serving base station.
