Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If measurement information from all radio terminals is collected and processed, then comprehensive data for optimization is obtained, but processing load increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveradio quality measurement accuracyVSAvoidprocessing load
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and processes only the measurement information from radio terminals that are stationary or within a predetermined movement range. By filtering out measurement data from terminals with excessive movement, the system reduces processing load while maintaining optimization accuracy for relevant areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different processing approaches based on terminal movement characteristics. Stationary terminals receive full processing for optimization, while moving terminals beyond the predetermined range have their measurements excluded or given lower weight, creating a localized quality approach tailored to each terminal's movement state.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Quantity of substance

If measurement information from moving radio terminals is processed, then more data points are available, but measurement accuracy deteriorates due to movement variations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of measurement data pointsVSAvoidradio quality measurement accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the selection criterion parameter from simply accepting all measurements to filtering based on terminal movement range. By setting a predetermined movement range threshold, the system maintains measurement precision by excluding data from terminals that have moved excessively, while still processing measurements from terminals within the acceptable range.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of operation

If radio parameters are optimized without considering terminal movement, then processing is simplified, but optimization effectiveness decreases for specific scenarios

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparameter optimization simplicityVSAvoidcommunication quality reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces dynamic adjustment of processing based on terminal movement state. The system automatically adapts which measurement information to process by evaluating terminal movement ranges, making the optimization process responsive to actual network conditions while maintaining operational simplicity through automated decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
