Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If uplink access control is implemented using traditional methods, then network access is maintained, but energy consumption increases and network overload occurs during peak transmissions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic uplink access control where the network element continuously monitors uplink transmission conditions and adjusts access restrictions in real-time based on current network state, transitioning from static to dynamic control to optimize both energy efficiency and reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The network element receives uplink transmissions from user equipment, evaluates them against predefined criteria, and generates feedback signals containing uplink access restriction information that is transmitted back to the user equipment, creating a closed-loop control system that balances energy consumption and network reliability
2Productivity
If uplink access restrictions are imposed dynamically, then network overload is prevented, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments user equipment into different groups based on their characteristics and requirements, applying different uplink access restriction criteria to different groups, which simplifies the overall control logic while improving network efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The network element pre-configures uplink access restriction criteria and thresholds before peak transmission periods occur, preparing the control parameters in advance to reduce real-time processing complexity while maintaining high network efficiency

AI summary
A radio access network element including a processor and a memory storing computer-executable instructions coupled to the processor. The processor is configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to cause the radio access network element to generate a signal including information indicating uplink access restrictions to be imposed on one or more user equipment devices in response to determining that at least one uplink-transmission-restriction criterion is satisfied, and transmit the signal to the one or more user equipment devices.
