Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If network side devices are used only to configure time-frequency resources for terminals, then the communication function is maintained, but the performance capability of network side devices is not fully utilized
Solution Approach 1:
The network side device is transformed from a single-function resource configuration device to a multi-functional device that can both configure time-frequency resources and process data. The first network side device acquires capability information from multiple second network side devices and routes data to appropriate devices, enabling the system to handle diverse tasks including data processing, storage, and forwarding beyond traditional resource configuration
2Productivity
If network side devices process more data with enhanced performance, then data processing capability is improved, but the complexity of coordinating multiple devices increases
Solution Approach 1:
The first network side device acts as an intermediary that coordinates between terminals and multiple second network side devices. It acquires capability information from second devices, makes routing decisions based on preset requirements, and manages data flow distribution, thereby simplifying the coordination complexity while enabling enhanced data processing throughput
3Productivity
If data is routed to the most capable device based on capability information, then processing efficiency is improved, but the overhead of acquiring and managing capability information increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by acquiring capability information from second network side devices in advance, before actual data processing occurs. The first network side device stores and manages this capability information, enabling efficient routing decisions without repeated information exchange during data processing operations

AI summary
An information acquiring method is provided. The method is applied to a first network side device. The method includes acquiring second capability information for processing data sent by at least one second network side device. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, in addition to communicating with a terminal, the first network side device can acquire the second capability information for processing data from at least one second network side device. Based on the second capability information, the first network side device can determine the capability of the second network side device for processing data. Further, when there is to-be-processed data in the first network side device, the first network side device can determine, according to the second capability information, which second network side device can process the data, and then can send the data to the second network side device for processing.
