Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If wireless network slices are configured with fixed parameters, then network configuration is simple, but the system cannot adapt to changing radio signal conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic network slice configuration by continuously monitoring radio signal levels (RSRP, SNR, CQI) and automatically adjusting slice parameters such as target bit rate, packet delay target, and priority scheduling based on real-time signal conditions. This transforms static network slices into dynamic entities that adapt to changing wireless environments without manual reconfiguration.
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback loop where radio signal measurements are continuously collected, compared against threshold values, and used to trigger automatic adjustments to network slice parameters. The feedback mechanism ensures that network configuration responds automatically to signal degradation or improvement, maintaining optimal performance without complex manual intervention.
2Reliability
If network slice features are aggressively optimized for performance, then service quality improves, but resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent dynamically adjusts network slice parameters including target bit rate, packet delay target, and scheduling priority based on real-time radio signal conditions. When signal quality is good, the system allocates higher bit rates and lower latency parameters to improve service quality. When signal deteriorates, parameters are automatically reduced to conserve network resources, preventing over-consumption while maintaining quality of service.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from static resource allocation to dynamic resource adjustment, where network slice features are continuously optimized based on actual radio conditions. This dynamic approach ensures resources are allocated efficiently according to real-time signal quality, improving service quality when possible while conserving resources when signal conditions limit performance.
3Productivity
If the system continuously monitors and adjusts network slices, then service optimization improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service automation where network slice adjustments are performed automatically based on predefined threshold criteria without requiring manual intervention. The monitoring and adjustment functions operate autonomously, with the system making its own decisions about when to modify slice parameters based on real-time signal conditions, reducing the need for complex manual management while maintaining high optimization efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The automated feedback mechanism continuously monitors radio signal levels and automatically triggers network slice adjustments when thresholds are crossed. This self-regulating feedback loop eliminates the need for complex manual control systems while maintaining efficient service optimization, as the system automatically responds to signal changes without human intervention or overly complex decision logic.
