Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If link quality information is buffered in network devices during transmission process, then network devices can store the information for later processing, but network optimization accuracy deteriorates because the buffered information cannot be accurately processed in real-time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces feedback mechanisms where network devices send acknowledgments to terminal devices about received link quality information. This feedback loop enables the terminal device to retransmit or supplement information if buffering causes loss, thereby maintaining optimization accuracy while allowing buffering for later processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary actions by having terminal devices pre-process and package link quality information before transmission, including adding identification markers and organizing data structures. This preliminary preparation ensures that when network devices buffer and later process the information, the accuracy is preserved through proper formatting and metadata inclusion.
2Ease of operation
If link quality information is buffered during terminal device handover process, then network devices can manage handover procedures, but real-time network optimization capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments link quality information into different types and priorities during handover processes. Critical information is marked for immediate processing while less critical information can be buffered. This segmentation allows handover management to proceed smoothly while minimizing the impact on real-time optimization capabilities through selective processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces intermediary mechanisms where relay nodes or intermediate network devices temporarily hold and forward link quality information during handover transitions. These intermediaries buffer information without blocking the overall optimization process, allowing handover management while preserving real-time processing capabilities through staged information flow.
3Measurement precision
If indication information is added to link quality packet messages to indicate buffering status, then network optimization accuracy is improved, but message complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by adding indication information selectively rather than uniformly to all messages. Only messages that have been buffered or require special handling receive additional indication flags or metadata. This selective approach maintains optimization accuracy for buffered messages while avoiding unnecessary complexity in messages that don't require buffering, thus resolving the contradiction between precision and complexity.
