Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the terminal device increases the quantity of detections for scheduling signaling, then the detection performance is improved, but the detection complexity and power consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection performanceVSAvoiddetection complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies periodic action by determining an interval for scheduling signaling and configuring the terminal device to skip detection within this interval. The network device sends scheduling signaling at periodic intervals, and the terminal device performs detection only at specific periodic moments rather than continuously, thereby reducing detection complexity and power consumption while maintaining adequate detection performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

2Measurement precision

If the terminal device increases the quantity of detections for scheduling signaling, then the detection performance is improved, but the power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic action by establishing an interval for scheduling signaling detection. The terminal device is configured to perform detection only at specific periodic intervals rather than continuously in every downlink time domain unit. This periodic detection approach significantly reduces power consumption while maintaining adequate detection performance for HARQ processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Speed

If the terminal device performs frequent detection on scheduling signaling, then the scheduling responsiveness is improved, but the detection complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescheduling responsivenessVSAvoiddetection complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the detection interval configurable and adaptable. The network device can dynamically adjust the interval for scheduling signaling detection based on traffic conditions and service requirements. This dynamic configuration allows the system to balance scheduling responsiveness with detection complexity, adjusting the detection frequency to match actual needs rather than using a fixed high-frequency approach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
