Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional network analysis systems only analyze infrastructure elements, then the analysis scope is limited and simple, but the ability to determine effects of non-network elements on resource utilization is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments network analysis into two distinct components: infrastructure element analysis and non-network element analysis. By separating these analysis targets, the system can apply specialized methods to each, enabling precise measurement of non-network element effects while maintaining comprehensive analysis scope.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces traffic data as an intermediary element that connects infrastructure elements with non-network elements. This traffic data serves as the mediator through which the system can observe and measure the effects of non-network elements on resource utilization without directly accessing them.
2Reliability
If conventional systems focus only on infrastructure components, then the analysis process is straightforward, but subscriber experience factors related to non-network elements cannot be determined
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback loops where traffic data from non-network elements is continuously collected, analyzed, and used to refine the understanding of subscriber experience factors. This feedback mechanism enables reliable assessment of how non-network elements impact subscriber experience while managing system complexity through iterative improvement.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary collection and organization of traffic data before conducting detailed analysis of subscriber experience factors. By preparing the data in advance and establishing baseline measurements, the system can accurately assess non-network element effects without overwhelming complexity during the actual analysis phase.
3Productivity
If traffic data from non-network elements is not collected, then data processing is simpler, but opportunities to improve network resource utilization through communication procedure changes are missed
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts traffic data specifically from non-network elements, separating this information stream from general network traffic. By extracting and isolating this data, the system can analyze communication procedures and their impact on resource utilization without being overwhelmed by the complexity of complete network data.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of data collection by specifically targeting traffic data parameters from non-network elements rather than attempting to collect all network data. This selective parameter change enables focused analysis of communication procedures and their effect on resource utilization while minimizing data processing overhead.
