Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If sensing function network elements are selected without considering service area information, sensing capability information, or sensing task information, then the selection process is simple, but the sensing task execution efficiency deteriorates and resource waste increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by having sensing function network elements pre-register their service area information, sensing capability information, and sensing task information with the network element manager before actual sensing tasks are assigned. This advance preparation enables efficient task allocation without real-time complexity, resolving the contradiction between execution efficiency and information transmission complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The network element manager serves as an intermediary that receives, stores, and manages sensing-related information from multiple sensing function network elements. This intermediary component centralizes information handling, allowing sensing task consumers to efficiently query and select appropriate network elements without direct complex interactions, thus improving task execution efficiency while managing information complexity
2Measurement precision
If comprehensive sensing information is transmitted and stored, then the accuracy of sensing function selection is improved, but the signaling overhead and resource consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by having different types of information (service area, sensing capability, sensing task information) stored and transmitted selectively based on specific selection criteria. The network element manager maintains organized local records of these information types, enabling accurate sensing function selection without transmitting all information simultaneously, thus reducing signaling overhead while maintaining selection accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
Sensing function network elements pre-register their information characteristics with the network element manager before actual sensing tasks are executed. This preliminary registration establishes a database that enables accurate matching of sensing tasks with appropriate network elements without requiring comprehensive real-time information exchange, reducing signaling overhead while improving selection accuracy
