Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If the network services more user devices, then the network capacity is increased, but the network performance degrades due to resource strain

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of user devicesVSAvoidnetwork performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system collects performance measurements from user devices and network nodes, processes this feedback data to identify performance degradation patterns, and uses this information to optimize network resource allocation and device categorization, thereby maintaining network performance despite increased device density

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the approach from treating all devices uniformly to categorizing devices based on their performance parameters (RSRP, SINR, CQI, RSRQ). By adjusting resource allocation policies based on device performance categories, the network can maintain optimal performance while serving more devices

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If network providers collect and evaluate device parameters, then device performance monitoring is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice performance monitoringVSAvoidmonitoring system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses a unified evaluation framework that handles multiple performance parameters (RSRP, SINR, CQI, RSRQ) and multiple device types through a single processing architecture. The common processing unit handles diverse measurement data using consistent algorithms, reducing the need for separate monitoring systems for different parameters and device types

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a virtual representation of device performance through standardized measurement protocols and data models. By using standardized templates for collecting and processing performance data across different devices, the system reduces complexity while maintaining comprehensive monitoring capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
