Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If periodic transmission of sensing measurements is implemented, then sensing functionalities are supported in the network, but data and signaling overhead increases due to large number of redundant measurements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential sensing measurements that meet specific reporting criteria (such as threshold-based conditions or event-triggered conditions) from the complete set of periodic sensing measurements. By taking out only the necessary measurements for reporting rather than transmitting all periodic measurements, the solution reduces data overhead while maintaining reliable sensing functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of transmitting all periodic sensing measurements (excessive action), the patent applies partial action by selectively reporting only those measurements that satisfy predefined conditions. This partial reporting approach reduces the quantity of transmitted data while still providing sufficient sensing information for network operations.
2Loss of information
If all sensing measurements are transmitted periodically, then complete sensing information is available, but unnecessary overhead is generated due to redundant data
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the reporting parameters by introducing conditional reporting criteria (such as threshold values, event triggers, or selection based on measurement type). Instead of using a fixed periodic transmission parameter, the system dynamically adjusts what gets reported based on whether measurements meet the changed parameters, thereby reducing energy waste from transmitting redundant information while preserving necessary sensing data.
3Measurement precision
If sensing measurements are reported frequently, then real-time sensing accuracy is improved, but resource utilization deteriorates due to increased overhead
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback-based reporting where the transmission of sensing measurements is controlled by feedback conditions (such as whether measurements exceed thresholds or meet event criteria). This feedback mechanism ensures that measurements are reported with sufficient accuracy and timeliness when needed, while avoiding unnecessary transmissions that would reduce resource utilization efficiency.
