If Wi-Fi technology is used for private networks, then ease of deployment is improved, but adaptability to diverse user needs deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of deploymentVSAvoidadaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the wireless network into multiple independent network slices, each optimized for specific applications or user groups. This segmentation allows the network to simultaneously support diverse user needs (video streaming, IoT, voice calls) with different requirements while maintaining a single unified deployment structure based on MulteFire technology.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal private wireless network platform using MulteFire that can serve multiple functions and user types through network slicing. The same physical infrastructure can universally support various applications (video conferencing, IoT sensors, voice calls) by dynamically configuring slices, thereby achieving both ease of deployment and high adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Reliability

If public wireless networks are used for data-intensive applications, then connectivity availability is improved, but resource utilization efficiency and latency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
