Solution Overview

Problem

Existing on-line quality monitoring systems for E1 channels are limited in their ability to monitor the entire fiber channel, lacking comprehensive monitoring capabilities.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that determine the priority of each branch in the power distribution channel using the formula Pi=Pi0+s+sisi, allowing for quality measurement of the entire fiber channel by setting up probes and prioritizing measurements from high to low, enhancing monitoring intensity and versatility.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If existing E1 channel monitoring systems are used, then E1 channel quality can be monitored, but the entire fiber channel cannot be monitored comprehensively

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemonitoring coverageVSAvoidapplication scope
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extends the monitoring system from specialized E1 channel monitoring to comprehensive fiber channel monitoring. By implementing a universal monitoring apparatus that can measure quality parameters across the entire fiber channel rather than being limited to a specific channel type, the system achieves multi-functionality and broader application scope while maintaining precise measurement capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Productivity

If priority-based quality measurement is implemented, then monitoring efficiency is improved, but measurement timing must be carefully managed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemonitoring efficiencyVSAvoidmeasurement waiting time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic priority assignment where branches are ranked based on real-time quality parameters. The monitoring system dynamically adjusts measurement sequences by re-evaluating branch priorities, allowing efficient resource allocation while minimizing waiting time through adaptive scheduling rather than fixed timing protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary quality parameter collection and branch ranking before initiating formal measurements. By pre-establishing priority levels and preparing measurement configurations in advance, the system reduces actual measurement waiting time and improves overall efficiency through advance preparation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
