Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional network slicing technologies are used, then network infrastructure is established, but on-demand application-driven slicing capability is lacking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveon-demand application-driven slicing capabilityVSAvoidnetwork slicing management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic network slicing by enabling the network slice assignment function to automatically reassign network slices between different applications based on real-time QoS requirements. The system continuously monitors application performance and dynamically adjusts slice assignments without manual intervention, making the network slicing infrastructure adaptable to changing application demands.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables self-service network slicing management through automated monitoring and assignment mechanisms. The network slice assignment function autonomously evaluates QoS parameters, identifies applications requiring slice reassignment, and executes reassignment decisions without human intervention. This self-service approach reduces operational complexity while improving adaptability to on-demand slicing requirements.

Inventive Principle:

Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements automated network slice assignment where the network slice assignment function autonomously monitors application QoS requirements and performs reassignments without manual intervention. The system automatically detects when an application needs a network slice, evaluates suitable slices, and executes the assignment, eliminating the time loss and operational delays associated with manual processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent establishes a feedback mechanism where the network slice assignment function continuously monitors application QoS performance and uses this feedback to trigger automated reassignment decisions. When QoS degradation is detected, the system receives feedback about the current state, evaluates alternative slice assignments, and automatically adjusts assignments to maintain optimal performance, significantly improving assignment efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements automated monitoring through a network slice assignment function that continuously receives and processes QoS performance feedback from applications. The system monitors key performance indicators, compares actual performance against required thresholds, and automatically triggers reassignment actions when degradation is detected. This closed-loop feedback mechanism ensures reliable QoS guarantees while maintaining high levels of automation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables self-service QoS management where the network slice assignment function autonomously monitors application performance, evaluates QoS compliance, and performs reassignments without human intervention. The automated monitoring and reassignment system maintains reliable QoS guarantees by continuously adapting slice assignments based on real-time conditions, eliminating the need for manual monitoring while ensuring service reliability.
