Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate frequency bands are allocated to broadband communication systems, then service quality is improved, but license cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines narrowband and broadband communication systems into a single frequency band, allowing both services to coexist and share resources. This merging approach eliminates the need for separate frequency band allocations, thereby reducing license costs while maintaining service quality through proper resource management and scheduling mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal frequency band that serves multiple functions - supporting both narrowband and broadband services simultaneously. This multi-functional approach allows a single frequency allocation to fulfill multiple communication needs, reducing the total amount of frequency resources required and consequently lowering license costs.
2Productivity
If frequency bands are expanded for broadband service, then service capacity is improved, but license cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic resource allocation where frequency resources are flexibly assigned based on real-time service demands. Broadband services can dynamically access additional frequency resources when needed, while narrowband services utilize remaining resources. This dynamic approach increases service capacity without requiring permanent allocation of expanded frequency bands, thereby controlling license costs.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the allocation parameters of frequency resources, allowing the same frequency band to serve different services at different times or with different priority levels. By adjusting these parameters dynamically, the system achieves high service capacity utilization without needing additional frequency spectrum, thus avoiding increased license costs.
3Adaptability or versatility
If new broadband systems are deployed, then service diversity is improved, but backward compatibility becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the frequency band into different regions or sub-channels that can be allocated to different services. Narrowband and broadband services are assigned different segments with appropriate characteristics, allowing new broadband services to be deployed while existing narrowband services continue to operate in their designated segments, thus maintaining backward compatibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces scheduling mechanisms and control functions as intermediaries that manage resource allocation between narrowband and broadband services. These intermediary components coordinate the interactions between different service types, enabling service diversity while ensuring that legacy narrowband services continue to function properly, thus resolving the backward compatibility issue.
