Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If processor computational power is increased to improve task completion speed, then processing performance is improved, but system cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by evaluating multiple parameters (distance, HARQ status, CoMP access, channel conditions) before scheduling tasks. The baseband processor assesses these parameters in advance to determine optimal task execution order, ensuring that critical tasks are prioritized before time expires, thereby improving completion speed without requiring additional computational power.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes scheduling parameters dynamically based on real-time conditions. Instead of fixed scheduling, the system adjusts task priorities based on varying parameters such as user equipment distance, HARQ retransmission status, and channel quality. This dynamic parameter adjustment optimizes task completion within available time frames without increasing hardware capabilities.
2Adaptability or versatility
If more tasks are scheduled to improve service coverage, then service fairness is improved, but task completion reliability deteriorates due to time constraints
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically changes scheduling parameters based on real-time assessments of distance, HARQ status, and channel conditions. This allows the baseband processor to adapt task scheduling to current system state, ensuring that service coverage is maintained while prioritizing tasks that can be completed reliably within time constraints.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms by continuously monitoring task completion status and scheduling outcomes. The system uses this feedback to adjust future scheduling decisions, learning from past performance to improve both service coverage and completion reliability. The scheduler adapts based on observed patterns in task execution success rates.
3Loss of time
If processing time is reduced to meet time frame requirements, then task completion speed is improved, but processing quality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary evaluation of processing requirements and complexity before actual task execution. By assessing parameters such as task type, user equipment conditions, and available time in advance, the scheduler can prioritize tasks that require longer processing and allocate sufficient time to maintain quality, while quickly handling simpler tasks that meet time frame requirements.
