Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If random access configuration parameters are provided for multiple functions (network slicing, REDCAP, SDT, CE), then service adaptability for diverse terminal capabilities is improved, but device complexity and configuration management complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the random access configuration by associating different parameter sets with specific function combinations (e.g., network slicing, REDCAP, SDT, CE). Each function combination has its own dedicated random access configuration parameters, allowing the system to provide adaptive service for diverse terminal capabilities while managing complexity through structured segmentation of configuration data.
2Reliability
If random access reports are transmitted to report processing status for each function, then network optimization capability is improved, but communication overhead and loss of time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal random access report structure that can carry information for multiple functions simultaneously. The report includes a feature combination field that identifies which functions were used and corresponding random access status information for each function. This multi-functional report design enables the network to optimize multiple service types in a single communication exchange, reducing overall overhead and time loss compared to separate reports for each function.
