Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If energy saving modes are applied to reduce power consumption, then power consumption is reduced, but network operation performance may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the time domain into different slot types (first slot types and second slot types) and applies different energy saving modes to different segments. The network entity applies a first energy saving mode to first slot types and a second energy saving mode to second slot types, allowing optimized power management across different time periods while maintaining overall network performance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic energy saving mode selection based on slot type variations. The network entity dynamically adjusts its operational state by switching between different energy saving modes depending on the current slot type, enabling adaptive power management that responds to changing network conditions and traffic patterns.
2Use of energy by moving object
If different energy saving modes are applied to different slot types, then power consumption is optimized, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring and signaling energy saving mode patterns to user equipment before actual transmission occurs. The network entity provides indication information that specifies which energy saving mode should be applied to which slot types in advance, allowing user equipment to prepare and adjust its operations accordingly without adding real-time decision complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where the network entity provides indication information about energy saving mode patterns to user equipment, and user equipment reports its operational status. This feedback loop enables the network to optimize energy saving strategies based on actual transmission conditions while maintaining manageable system complexity through structured information exchange.
