Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If device to device communication is implemented under LTE system, then direct data exchange between devices is enabled, but standardization and implementation methods are lacking

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveD2D communication capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The base station serves as an intermediary that coordinates D2D communication by allocating temporary identifiers and transmission resources. The network controller acts as a higher-level intermediary for resource management and coordination between multiple D2D pairs, reducing the complexity burden from individual devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The temporary identifier serves multiple functions: it identifies the D2D communication pair, enables scrambling of transmission grant information, and facilitates resource allocation. This multi-functional approach reduces the number of separate mechanisms needed, thereby reducing overall system complexity.

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

2Reliability

If transmission grant information is scrambled through wireless network temporary identifier, then security and accuracy are improved, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission accuracyVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The temporary identifier dynamically changes per D2D communication instance, and is used to scramble transmission grant information. This parameter-based scrambling approach provides security and accuracy without requiring complex cryptographic protocols, balancing reliability with processing simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If base station allocates temporary identifier and transmission resources, then D2D communication is enabled, but network control complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveD2D communication supportVSAvoidnetwork control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The network control functions are segmented between the base station and network controller. The base station handles local D2D resource allocation and identifier assignment, while the network controller manages broader resource coordination. This segmentation distributes control complexity across multiple entities rather than concentrating it in one component.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
