Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If service processing resources are fixedly allocated according to network planning, then resource allocation is simple and stable, but the system cannot adapt to changing demands of different wireless access technologies

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to changing demandsVSAvoidresource allocation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic resource allocation by periodically adjusting service processing resources based on actual traffic conditions. The system transitions from fixed allocation to dynamic allocation where resource quantities are adjusted according to real-time demand of different wireless access technologies, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs feedback mechanisms by monitoring traffic conditions and using this information to adjust resource allocation. The system collects traffic data, analyzes demand patterns, and automatically adjusts service processing resources accordingly, enabling the system to adapt to changing demands while maintaining manageable complexity through automated control loops.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If more service processing resources are allocated to accommodate growing 3G WCDMA subscribers, then service quality for 3G users improves, but operation difficulty and maintenance cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice qualityVSAvoidoperation difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service by enabling the system to automatically monitor its own traffic conditions and adjust resource allocation without manual intervention. The base station autonomously detects traffic patterns, determines resource requirements, and reallocates service processing resources accordingly, improving service quality while reducing operation difficulty through automation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of resource allocation from fixed to variable based on traffic conditions. By dynamically adjusting the quantity of service processing resources allocated to different wireless access technologies according to actual demand, the system maintains high service quality while simplifying operation through parameter-driven automatic adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If dedicated hardware and chips are used for each wireless access technology, then processing performance is optimized, but the system cannot support multiple wireless access technologies on a single platform

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-mode support capabilityVSAvoidprocessing performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by implementing a generic hardware chip platform that can support multiple wireless access technologies through software. Instead of dedicated hardware for each technology, the system uses a universal platform with configurable software modules that can be loaded and unloaded based on required wireless access standards, achieving multi-mode support while maintaining processing performance through software-based signal processing.

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