Solution Overview

Problem

Existing Dynamic Line Management (DLM) systems face inefficiencies in acquiring DSL parameters, as they typically acquire parameters from all DSLs at the same frequency, leading to resource wastage when most lines are stable and inadequate maintenance when lines are unstable.

Innovation Solution

The method involves determining the priority of each DSL based on historical operation parameters and service information, and acquiring parameters in a period corresponding to its priority, optimizing acquisition periods and resource configuration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If parameters are acquired from all DSLs at a relatively high frequency, then the status of DSLs can be ascertained and unstable DSLs can be maintained timely, but enormous resource wasting occurs because most DSLs work relatively stably and there is no need for frequent parameter acquisitions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemaintenance timelinessVSAvoidresource wasting
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating parameter acquisition frequencies based on individual DSL stability characteristics. Stable DSLs receive lower acquisition frequencies while unstable DSLs receive higher frequencies, allowing each DSL to be monitored according to its specific needs rather than applying a uniform high-frequency acquisition to all DSLs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamics by making the parameter acquisition frequency adaptive rather than static. The system dynamically adjusts acquisition frequencies based on real-time assessment of DSL stability, transitioning from a fixed uniform frequency to a variable frequency that responds to changing line conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Loss of energy

If parameters are acquired from all DSLs at a relatively low frequency, then resource wasting is reduced, but unstable DSLs cannot be maintained timely and the effectiveness of DSL maintenance is degraded

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource efficiencyVSAvoidmaintenance effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by tailoring parameter acquisition frequencies to individual DSL stability characteristics. Unstable DSLs receive higher acquisition frequencies to ensure timely maintenance, while stable DSLs receive lower frequencies to conserve resources, creating a differentiated monitoring strategy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback by continuously monitoring DSL stability and using this information to adjust parameter acquisition frequencies. The system acquires stability assessment data, evaluates it, and dynamically modifies acquisition strategies based on the feedback, creating a closed-loop control system that optimizes both resource efficiency and maintenance effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Ease of operation

If parameters are acquired from all DSLs at the same frequency, then the system operation is simple, but parameter acquisition efficiency is low and resource configuration is suboptimal

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem simplicityVSAvoidparameter acquisition efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by implementing differentiated parameter acquisition frequencies for different DSLs based on their stability characteristics. This creates a more efficient resource configuration where acquisition intensity matches actual needs, improving overall system productivity while maintaining manageable complexity through automated assessment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements self-service by enabling the system to automatically assess DSL stability and determine appropriate acquisition frequencies without manual intervention. The system self-configures its monitoring strategy based on observed line characteristics, reducing operational complexity while improving efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
