Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If network resources are statically allocated to support diverse applications, then application requirements are met, but resource utilization efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic resource allocation where the network management entity continuously monitors application requirements and device positions, then dynamically assigns network slice resources. This allows resources to be flexibly reallocated based on current needs rather than static pre-assignment, resolving the contradiction between meeting diverse application requirements and maintaining high resource utilization efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes network parameters dynamically by adjusting which mobile devices provide resources to the logic subnetwork based on their current position within defined ranges. When devices enter or leave these ranges, the network management entity modifies resource allocation parameters, enabling adaptive resource utilization that satisfies varying application requirements without waste.
2Loss of energy
If mobile device resources are dynamically incorporated into the logic subnetwork, then resource utilization improves, but network complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The network management entity serves as an intermediary that simplifies the complexity of dynamic resource incorporation. It receives position signals from mobile devices, determines whether they should be incorporated into the logic subnetwork, and manages the resource allocation process. This centralized mediation reduces overall network complexity by providing a single point of control for dynamic resource management.
Solution Approach 2:
Mobile devices automatically provide their resources to the logic subnetwork when they enter the defined position range, without requiring complex manual configuration. The devices essentially self-register and self-configure into the network slice based on their position, reducing the management burden and complexity while improving resource utilization.
3Adaptability or versatility
If position-based resource incorporation is implemented, then network flexibility improves, but measurement and detection difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The network management entity uses a universal position signal detection mechanism that works across multiple mobile devices and different position ranges. This multi-functional detection system handles various scenarios (different devices, different locations, different resource types) through a single unified approach, reducing the overall difficulty of position-based resource incorporation while maintaining high network flexibility.

AI summary
A network management entity for a communication network includes: a processor configured to operate a logic subnetwork in the communication network, wherein the logic subnetwork is configured to enable a first communication device to communicate via the logic subnetwork and to provide the first communication device with further resources of the logic subnetwork; and a communication interface configured to receive a position signal indicating a position of a second mobile communication device. The processor is further configured to incorporate the second mobile communication device in the logic subnetwork to provide the logic subnetwork with at least one resource of the second mobile communication device if the position of the second mobile communication device is within a defined position range.
