Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If servers are deployed in a distributed manner to improve system scalability and flexibility, then deployment flexibility is improved, but server discovery and selection complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an edge enabler server as an intermediary component that mediates between the distributed servers and clients. This intermediary collects performance data from multiple transmission servers and application servers, processes it, and provides coordinated selection recommendations, thereby simplifying the discovery and selection process while maintaining distributed deployment flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-collecting and evaluating performance data from multiple servers before actual communication needs arise. The edge enabler server maintains updated performance metrics and readiness status of servers in advance, enabling rapid and informed server selection when communication requests are made, thus reducing real-time decision complexity.
2Reliability
If comprehensive performance evaluation is performed to select optimal server combinations, then transmission performance is improved, but evaluation complexity and time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by evaluating only the most relevant performance parameters for the specific communication requirements rather than进行全面 evaluation of all possible server attributes. The edge enabler server filters and prioritizes performance metrics based on application needs, conducting sufficient evaluation to ensure optimal selection while avoiding unnecessary analysis of irrelevant parameters, thus reducing evaluation time while maintaining transmission performance.
3Measurement precision
If multiple performance parameters are considered for server selection, then selection accuracy is improved, but information processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the complex server selection process into distinct functional modules: performance data collection, data processing and analysis, and selection decision-making. The edge enabler server divides multiple performance parameters into categories (transmission performance, computing performance, energy efficiency) and processes them through separate evaluation routines, making the information processing more manageable while maintaining comprehensive and accurate server selection.
