Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If mobile base stations are placed at fixed initial locations, then device complexity is reduced, but service quality deteriorates due to inability to adapt to changing terminal distributions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback by continuously monitoring terminal locations and using this information to dynamically adjust mobile base station positions. The location determination server receives terminal location data, calculates optimal base station positions based on this feedback, and updates base station placements accordingly, creating a closed-loop system that adapts to changing conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies dynamics by transitioning from static fixed base station locations to dynamic mobile base station positions. The base stations can move their locations based on real-time terminal distributions, allowing the system to adapt flexibly to changing service requirements while maintaining manageable complexity through automated determination algorithms.
2Reliability
If mobile base stations frequently adjust locations to optimize service, then service quality improves, but loss of time increases due to repeated location determinations and movements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic action by determining mobile base station locations at regular intervals or based on triggering events such as significant terminal distribution changes. This periodic determination approach ensures service quality is maintained through timely adjustments while avoiding excessive frequency that would waste time and resources on redundant repositioning operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies parameter changes by using algorithms that calculate optimal base station positions based on varying terminal location parameters. The system monitors changes in terminal distributions and only triggers location determination when parameters exceed thresholds, balancing service quality optimization with time efficiency by avoiding unnecessary adjustments.
3Reliability
If the system monitors and responds to all terminal location changes, then service quality is maximized, but use of energy increases due to continuous calculation and adjustment operations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by establishing thresholds for terminal location changes that trigger base station relocation. The system monitors terminal positions continuously but only initiates energy-consuming location determination and movement operations when changes exceed predefined thresholds, thereby maximizing service quality while minimizing unnecessary energy consumption from constant adjustments.
