Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If information is acquired at different positions and transferred through multiple network elements, then the range and capability of information perception is improved, but the complexity of the transfer process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the information transfer process into distinct functional modules: information acquisition at multiple positions, indication information generation, and targeted information transfer. Each network element performs specific functions rather than handling all transfer operations, reducing overall system complexity while expanding perception capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces indication information as an intermediary mechanism that facilitates efficient information transfer between network elements. This intermediary carries essential acquisition parameters and targets, enabling complex multi-position information gathering without proportionally increasing transfer process complexity.
2Ease of manufacture
If protocol layers are made independent and transparent to one another, then each layer can be separately optimized, but information interaction time increases and flexibility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal indication information structure that can be applied across different protocol layers and network elements. This multi-functional indication mechanism carries acquisition position, content, and target information that can be processed by various layers without requiring complex inter-layer communication, reducing interaction time while maintaining layer independence.
3Quantity of substance
If massive and messy perceived information is handled, then comprehensive information perception is achieved, but redundancy occurs and processing becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential information elements needed for effective perception and transfer, placing them into a structured indication information format. By extracting acquisition position, acquisition content, and target network element information while discarding redundant data, the system handles comprehensive information without proportionally increasing processing complexity.
4Device complexity
If information is transferred through fixed adjacent layer communication only, then protocol structure is simple, but adaptability to different information characteristics is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic information transfer where network elements can adaptively select transfer targets based on indication information requirements. Rather than fixed adjacent-layer communication, the system dynamically routes information to appropriate network elements (second network elements) that can best process specific information types, maintaining protocol simplicity while enhancing adaptability.
