Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple data streams are transmitted for service operation, then service functionality is improved, but delay coordination difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a dedicated delay difference calculation module that acts as an intermediary between multiple data streams and the service processing system. This module specifically calculates delay differences between data streams and provides coordinated timing information, thereby reducing the overall system complexity while maintaining multi-stream service functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the complex task of multi-stream coordination into distinct functional components: a delay difference calculation module that handles timing analysis, and separate service processing modules that utilize the provided timing information. This segmentation allows each component to focus on specific aspects of coordination, reducing overall system complexity.
2Reliability
If delay difference information is accurately reported, then data stream coordination is improved, but information processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the delay difference calculation as a separate, dedicated function from the overall service processing system. The delay difference calculation module independently computes timing differences and provides this information to service modules, thereby reducing information processing complexity in the main system while maintaining accurate coordination through specialized handling.
Solution Approach 2:
The delay difference calculation module serves as an intermediary that simplifies information flow by pre-processing timing data. Instead of service modules directly analyzing complex multi-stream timing relationships, they receive pre-calculated delay difference information from the intermediary module, reducing their processing complexity while maintaining coordination reliability.
3Measurement precision
If delay difference calculation is performed for all data streams, then synchronization accuracy is improved, but computational overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements partial action by calculating delay differences selectively rather than comprehensively for all possible data stream combinations. The delay difference calculation module focuses on computing timing differences for specific critical pairs of data streams that have the greatest impact on service synchronization, thereby reducing computational overhead while maintaining sufficient synchronization accuracy for service operation.
Data Source
AI summary
A mobile communications network uses a method for reporting delay difference information performed by a first network element that includes: receiving a subscription request sent by a second network element, in which the subscription request is used to request subscribing to delay difference information of data streams of service; sending the subscription request to a third network element; receiving report information sent by the third network element in response to the subscription request; and sending delay difference information to the second network element, in which the delay difference information is determined based on the report information.
