Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If RF resources are randomly assigned to UE devices, then the assignment process is simple, but the flexibility and efficiency of RF resource use is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic RF resource assignment by continuously monitoring data-usage tendencies of UE devices and adjusting channel bandwidth allocations in real-time based on changing network conditions and user behavior patterns, transforming the static random assignment into a dynamic adaptive process
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of channel bandwidth allocation from fixed random values to variable values determined by data-usage tendency analysis, allowing the RF resource parameters to be adjusted according to measured user behavior and network load conditions
2Productivity
If channel bandwidth is selected based on data-usage tendency, then resource allocation efficiency improves, but the complexity of determining and analyzing usage patterns increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of data-usage tendencies during idle periods or between communication sessions, building user profiles and behavior patterns in advance so that when resource allocation is needed, the decision can be made quickly based on pre-computed information
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the system continuously monitors actual data usage against predicted tendencies, using this feedback to refine and update user profiles over time, thereby improving the accuracy of resource allocation decisions while managing complexity through iterative learning
3Reliability
If channel bandwidth is assigned based on multiple factors including load condition and service plan, then user satisfaction improves, but the complexity of the assignment process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different allocation strategies to different UE devices based on their specific characteristics such as service plan tier and historical usage patterns, allowing each user to receive customized resource allocation rather than applying a uniform approach to all users
Solution Approach 2:
The system combines multiple factors (data-usage tendency, network load condition, service plan parameters) into a composite allocation decision model, integrating diverse information sources to create a unified resource assignment that satisfies multiple competing requirements simultaneously

AI summary
Systems, computer-readable media, and methods for selecting channel bandwidths to a user equipment (UE) device for carrying out a communication session. Selection of the channel bandwidth can be based on a data-usage tendency of the UE device. The data-usage tendency can indicate a data-usage rate of the UE device or a set of user equipment devices similar to the UE device. The channel bandwidth can comprise a plurality of subcarriers. Two or more of the subcarriers can be adjacent to one another or be separated by one or more subcarriers of a channel bandwidth assigned or assignable to another UE device for another communication session. A processor that selects the channel bandwidth can further base its selection on a service plan associated with the UE device and load conditions of frequency bands of a radio access network.
