Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If manual positioning and measurement of wireless network nodes is performed, then installation precision can be achieved, but labor time and operational complexity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The wireless device automatically performs positioning and measurement functions without requiring manual intervention. The device autonomously measures signal parameters, determines its own location, and provides feedback information, eliminating the need for human operators to physically access and measure each node's installation parameters.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical measurement processes with automated wireless signal-based measurement. Instead of physically accessing nodes to measure installation parameters, the system uses wireless signal transmission and reception to automatically determine positioning and measurement data.
2Area of stationary object
If access points are placed in hard-to-reach locations to maximize coverage, then network coverage is improved, but ease of operation and maintenance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces the need for physical access to measurement points with wireless remote measurement capabilities. The automated device can measure and diagnose network nodes from a distance using wireless signals, eliminating the requirement for operators to physically access hard-to-reach locations on towers, rooftops, or ceilings.
3Measurement precision
If comprehensive wireless network measurements are performed to diagnose performance issues, then measurement precision improves, but device complexity and operational cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The wireless device autonomously performs comprehensive measurements and self-diagnosis without requiring complex external measurement equipment or multiple specialized tools. The device independently measures signal parameters, analyzes performance issues, and generates diagnostic information, simplifying the overall system complexity while maintaining high measurement precision.
