Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If data-stream allocation is performed without considering real-time peak transmission rates, then device complexity is reduced, but data transmission stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic data-stream allocation by continuously monitoring peak transmission rates of different wireless network modules and adjusting allocation weights in real-time. This dynamic approach ensures that data streams are always allocated according to current network conditions, improving transmission stability without requiring complex predictive models or manual configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback mechanism where the processor continuously obtains peak transmission rates from each wireless network module, calculates updated allocation weights based on current performance, and adjusts data-stream distribution accordingly. This closed-loop feedback ensures stable transmission by automatically adapting to changing network conditions.
2Productivity
If static data-stream allocation is used, then device complexity is reduced, but bandwidth utilization efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs dynamic allocation weights that are continuously updated based on real-time peak transmission rate measurements. This allows the system to automatically optimize bandwidth utilization by directing more data streams toward network modules with higher current capacity, maximizing overall productivity without requiring complex manual intervention.
3Adaptability or versatility
If equal data-stream allocation is applied to all wireless network modules, then device complexity is minimized, but adaptability to different network conditions deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different allocation weights to different wireless network modules based on their individual peak transmission rates. Instead of uniform allocation, each module receives a proportion of data streams matched to its current capability, optimizing overall system adaptability while keeping the allocation rule relatively simple and localized to each module's performance characteristics.
