Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If separate computing cards are added to base stations to support computing services, then computing service capability is improved, but device complexity and hardware investment increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomputing service capabilityVSAvoidhardware configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The base station is designed to perform both network service and computing service using the same hardware resources. The computing service is implemented by utilizing existing base station computing resources rather than adding dedicated computing cards, making the base station a multi-functional device that can handle both communication and computing tasks concurrently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges network service functionality and computing service functionality into a single integrated system. By combining these services and sharing underlying hardware resources (CPU, memory, storage), the system avoids the need for separate computing cards while achieving concurrent support for both service types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If base station computing resources are fully allocated to network services, then network service quality is improved, but computing resource utilization deteriorates when load is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork service qualityVSAvoidcomputing resource utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements dynamic resource allocation where the base station's computing resources are flexibly adjusted between network services and computing services based on real-time load conditions. When network load is low, more computing resources are allocated to computing services; when network load is high, resources are dynamically shifted back to network services, maintaining both service qualities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the allocation parameter of computing resources dynamically based on network load conditions. By monitoring network traffic and adjusting the proportion of computing resources allocated to different services, the system optimizes both network service quality and computing resource utilization according to actual operational needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If computing resources are dynamically shared between network services and computing services, then resource utilization is improved, but scheduling complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilizationVSAvoidscheduling mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The computing resources are segmented into different allocable units that can be dynamically assigned to network services or computing services. The scheduling mechanism divides resources into manageable segments that can be independently allocated, making the dynamic sharing process more controllable and less complex than managing monolithic resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
