Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If static pre-configuration of Radio Coordination schemes is used, then configuration simplicity is improved, but adaptability to transport network characteristics changes deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static pre-configuration approach into a dynamic system that automatically detects transport network characteristics and adapts Radio Coordination scheme configurations in real-time. The system continuously monitors transport characteristics and adjusts coordination parameters dynamically, resolving the contradiction between configuration simplicity and adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where transport network characteristics are measured, evaluated against configured ranges, and used to trigger automatic reconfiguration of Radio Coordination schemes. This closed-loop feedback system enables the network to adapt to changing conditions while maintaining operational simplicity.
2Reliability
If transport characteristics margin is increased to avoid out-of-range conditions, then reliability is improved, but resource utilization efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables dynamic adjustment of Radio Coordination parameters based on actual transport network conditions. Instead of using fixed conservative margins, the system adapts parameters in real-time to match current network characteristics, thereby maintaining reliability while optimizing resource utilization efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the operational parameters of Radio Coordination schemes dynamically based on measured transport characteristics. By adjusting parameters such as coordination intervals, bandwidth allocation, and synchronization settings according to actual network conditions, the system achieves both high reliability and efficient resource utilization.
3Measurement precision
If manual configuration and monitoring of transport characteristics is performed, then measurement precision is improved, but automation level deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a self-service system where the network automatically measures transport characteristics, evaluates them against configured ranges, and reconfigures Radio Coordination schemes without human intervention. The system autonomously performs tasks that would otherwise require manual configuration and monitoring, achieving both precise measurement and high automation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent establishes an automated feedback loop that continuously monitors transport network characteristics and triggers appropriate configuration changes. This self-managing system maintains precise measurement of network conditions while fully automating the adaptation process, eliminating the need for manual intervention.
4Adaptability or versatility
If Radio Coordination schemes are frequently updated to follow transport changes, then adaptability is improved, but system stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic adaptation with stability control by continuously monitoring transport characteristics and updating Radio Coordination schemes only when necessary. The system balances between adapting to changes and maintaining stability by using configured ranges and thresholds to determine when reconfiguration is warranted.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs periodic monitoring and evaluation of transport characteristics with configured update intervals. Rather than continuous changing, the system performs structured periodic assessments and updates only when measurements indicate actual changes in network conditions, thereby maintaining stability while remaining adaptable.
