Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If distributed communication is implemented without central management, then system scalability and coverage are improved, but communication reliability and efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the communication network into multiple independent communication units (CUs) distributed across different locations, each capable of independent operation. This segmentation allows the system to cover larger areas while maintaining manageable individual units that can be centrally coordinated for reliable communication.
Solution Approach 2:
A central scheduler acts as an intermediary between the distributed communication units and the core network, coordinating resource allocation, power control, and scheduling decisions. This central coordination ensures reliable and efficient communication across the distributed network while maintaining scalability.
2Area of stationary object
If signal is distributed across multiple communication units, then communication coverage is improved, but power loss increases
Solution Approach 1:
Each communication unit is equipped with local amplifying units that can independently adjust signal power levels based on local conditions. This local power compensation ensures that signal quality is maintained at each distribution point without requiring excessive power at the source, thereby reducing overall power loss while expanding coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary power compensation by inserting amplifying units at strategic points in the connection line before signal degradation becomes problematic. This proactive approach prevents power loss from accumulating and ensures consistent signal quality across the distributed network.
3Area of stationary object
If connection line length is increased to expand coverage, then area coverage is improved, but signal power loss increases
Solution Approach 1:
Amplifying units are inserted as intermediaries along the connection line to actively compensate for signal attenuation. These amplifying units boost the signal power at intermediate points, allowing the connection line to extend over longer distances without unacceptable power loss, thereby enabling larger coverage areas.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts power parameters by controlling the gain of amplifying units based on measured signal conditions and scheduler decisions. This parameter adjustment allows the system to optimize power levels at different points in the network, compensating for line losses and enabling extended coverage while managing power consumption efficiently.
