Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If cooperative communication between user equipments is implemented, then data transmission reliability and throughput are improved, but organization and coordination between user equipments are lacking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission reliabilityVSAvoidorganization and coordination between user equipments
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a network side device as an intermediary to manage and coordinate pairing between user equipments. The network side device receives pairing requests, determines pairing permissions, and sends pairing permission indication information to control the pairing process, thereby providing effective organization and coordination for cooperative communication.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple user equipments are involved in communication, then cooperative communication capability is enhanced, but coordination mechanisms are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecooperative communication capabilityVSAvoidcoordination mechanisms
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The network side device serves as a central coordinator that manages pairing requests from multiple user equipments. It processes pairing requests, makes pairing decisions based on network conditions and user equipment capabilities, and distributes pairing permissions, thereby enabling versatile cooperative communication without requiring complex peer-to-peer coordination mechanisms between user equipments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Speed

If user equipments autonomously pair without network coordination, then pairing speed is faster, but transmission reliability decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepairing speedVSAvoidtransmission reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The network side device performs preliminary actions by pre-evaluating pairing requests and determining pairing permissions before actual pairing occurs. This allows user equipments to quickly pair once permission is granted, while the network has already ensured reliability through its coordination and decision-making process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
