Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional radio communication management systems are used, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability to context and usage variations deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to context and usage variationsVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

A context-aware radio resource management system is introduced as an intermediary between the wireless device and the network. This intermediary component analyzes usage patterns, predicts future communication needs, and dynamically adjusts radio resource allocation, thereby enhancing adaptability without requiring fundamental changes to the core device architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary analysis of usage patterns and predicts future communication requirements in advance. By proactively preparing radio resource allocation strategies based on predicted needs, the system adapts to context variations before they occur, improving responsiveness while maintaining manageable complexity through advance planning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If dynamic link selection is implemented, then communication reliability is improved, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of continuously monitoring and evaluating all available wireless links, the system applies partial action by selectively assessing only the most promising links based on predicted communication needs and current context. This reduces the excessive energy consumption associated with full-link evaluation while maintaining sufficient communication reliability through targeted monitoring.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes monitoring parameters based on predicted communication requirements. When high reliability is predicted to be needed, more thorough link assessment is performed; when lower reliability suffices, monitoring intensity is reduced. This adaptive parameter adjustment balances communication reliability with energy consumption by matching monitoring effort to actual needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If path prediction is used, then wireless link selection accuracy is improved, but computational requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelink selection accuracyVSAvoidcomputational requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary path prediction by analyzing historical usage patterns and mobile device trajectories in advance of actual communication needs. This preliminary action enables the system to pre-identify optimal wireless links, improving selection accuracy while reducing real-time computational requirements by shifting analysis to advance prediction phases.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of performing complex real-time path prediction calculations, the system creates simplified models or copies of predicted paths based on historical data. These predictive models are pre-computed and stored, allowing the system to reference pre-determined optimal paths rather than recalculating them in real-time, thereby improving accuracy while managing computational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
