Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If existing network technologies are used, then network operations can continue, but human intervention and resending of communications are required during disruptions, reducing reliability and stability
Solution Approach 1:
The network system autonomously detects disruptions, identifies alternative paths, and reroutes communications without human intervention. The system monitors network conditions, automatically updates routing tables when failures are detected, and self-heals by finding new paths for data transmission, making the network self-sufficient and eliminating the need for manual intervention during disruptions.
2Productivity
If existing network technologies are used, then communications can be transmitted, but disruptions require resending of communications, increasing loss of time and reducing productivity
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-establishes multiple alternative paths for communication before disruptions occur. When a disruption is detected, the system immediately switches to a pre-planned alternative path without needing to resend communications or recalculate routes, thereby eliminating time loss and maintaining continuous productivity.
3Reliability
If autonomous self-healing capabilities are implemented, then network reliability and stability are enhanced, but device complexity increases due to self-healing algorithms and monitoring systems
Solution Approach 1:
The network system continuously monitors communication links and performance parameters, using this feedback to automatically detect disruptions and trigger self-healing actions. The system measures link quality, compares it against thresholds, and when degradation is detected, automatically initiates path rerouting based on real-time network conditions, creating a closed-loop control system that enhances reliability through intelligent feedback mechanisms.
