Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If a service server is deployed on an edge computing node to implement high-quality and low-latency service, then service quality and latency are improved, but deployment complexity increases and system operation and maintenance efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The service server is segmented into two independent modules: a signaling processing module deployed on a remote node and a media processing module deployed on the edge computing node. This segmentation allows the complex service functionality to be distributed across different locations, reducing deployment complexity while maintaining low latency through local media processing at the edge.
Solution Approach 2:
The signaling processing module is extracted from the edge computing node and deployed separately on a remote node. This extraction simplifies the edge computing node infrastructure by removing the complex signaling processing requirements, while the media processing module remains at the edge to ensure low latency for media operations.
2Reliability
If a service server is deployed on an edge computing node to implement high-quality and low-latency service, then service quality is improved, but system operation and maintenance efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The signaling processing module acts as an intermediary between the terminal device and the media processing module. It establishes and manages sessions, coordinating communication between the remote infrastructure and edge services. This intermediary approach maintains service quality by ensuring proper session management while simplifying operations and maintenance by centralizing signaling control on the remote node where resources are more abundant.
3Device complexity
If infrastructure resources are reduced at edge computing nodes, then deployment complexity is reduced, but service delivery capability may be impacted
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by placing different functional modules at different locations with appropriate resource allocations. The media processing module resides at the edge computing node with access to local infrastructure resources needed for media operations, while the signaling processing module is located at the remote node. This spatial distribution of functions ensures each location has the necessary resources for its specific tasks, maintaining service delivery capability while reducing overall deployment complexity.
