Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If network nodes enter energy-saving states to reduce energy consumption, then energy efficiency is improved, but signal coverage is compromised and timely communication is prevented
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic energy-saving state management where network nodes can transition between different energy-saving states (first state, second state, third state) based on real-time conditions. The network device receives first information indicating energy-saving state level information and dynamically adjusts the energy-saving state of network nodes, allowing the system to adapt between energy consumption and signal coverage requirements
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of energy-saving state level information to resolve the contradiction. By receiving first information that indicates energy-saving state level information and adjusting the energy-saving state accordingly, the system can modify its operational parameters to balance energy efficiency with communication reliability
2Loss of energy
If network nodes enter deep energy-saving states to maximize energy savings, then energy efficiency is improved, but coverage gaps increase and communication reliability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by implementing different levels of energy-saving states rather than a single deep energy-saving state. The network device can select appropriate energy-saving state levels based on conditions, applying partial energy-saving measures when needed while maintaining full operation when communication timeliness is critical
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the network device receives first information indicating energy-saving state level information and second information related to coverage compensation. This feedback loop allows the system to adjust energy-saving states based on actual communication needs and coverage conditions, preventing excessive energy-saving that would harm productivity
