Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If digital twins are used in wireless communication networks, then network performance optimization and management are improved, but processing complexity and computational load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the digital twin system into multiple components: network twin constructs for different network entities, simulation environments for different scenarios, and modular processing units. Each component handles specific tasks independently, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining optimization capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-configuring simulation environments and pre-processing network data before actual optimization tasks. Simulation parameters and scenarios are prepared in advance, allowing the system to handle real-time optimization requests more efficiently with reduced computational complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If simulation environments are configured for network twins, then hypothetical communication scenarios can be tested, but system complexity and resource requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal simulation environment that can handle multiple types of network entities and various communication scenarios through a single integrated platform. The network twin construct is designed to be adaptable across different network configurations, reducing the need for separate specialized systems while maintaining versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses digital copying by creating virtual replicas (twins) of network entities and scenarios. These copies allow hypothetical testing without affecting the actual network, enabling versatile scenario testing while keeping the physical system unchanged and manageable.
3Loss of information
If multiple digital twin instances are created for network entities, then comprehensive simulation data can be derived, but processing load and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential and relevant features from multiple digital twin instances for simulation processing. Rather than processing complete data from all twins simultaneously, the system selectively extracts critical parameters and scenarios, reducing computational load while maintaining data completeness for decision-making.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements partial action by processing a subset of digital twin instances or scenarios based on current network needs and priorities. The system dynamically selects which twins to simulate based on relevance, allowing comprehensive data derivation when needed while reducing processing load during normal operations.
