Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If SBFD technology is implemented to improve spectrum efficiency and communication capacity, then the spectrum efficiency and communication capacity are improved, but the resource configuration complexity increases because no defined configuration method exists yet
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the configuration process into two distinct parts: first configuration information indicating transmission directions for time periods, and second configuration information indicating specific SBFD resources within those time periods. This segmentation allows the complex SBFD resource configuration to be broken down into manageable, standardized components that can be independently defined and managed, thereby improving spectrum efficiency without overwhelming complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes parameter changes by introducing specific configuration parameters through first and second configuration information. These parameters define transmission directions, time period structures, and SBFD resource allocations. By standardizing these parameters, the system enables flexible resource configuration that adapts to different scenarios while maintaining structured management, thus enhancing communication capacity with controlled complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If flexible SBFD resource configuration is implemented to enhance spectrum efficiency, then spectrum efficiency is improved, but the system complexity increases due to the need for multiple configuration parameters
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by creating a multi-functional configuration system where first configuration information serves multiple purposes: indicating transmission directions, defining time period structures, and providing the framework for second configuration information. This universal configuration approach enables the system to handle various SBFD scenarios with a unified method, improving spectrum efficiency while avoiding the need for separate complex configuration systems for each scenario.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses parameter changes to achieve flexibility in spectrum utilization. Through configurable parameters in the first and second configuration information, the system can adapt transmission directions, time period allocations, and SBFD resource distributions based on network conditions and requirements. This parameter-driven approach provides versatile spectrum efficiency improvement while maintaining a structured configuration system.
