Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the terminal frequently reports radio frequency parameters to the network for cell handover and transmission scheduling, then the network can perform optimization, but the terminal energy consumption increases and network throughput decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenetwork optimizationVSAvoidterminal energy consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal autonomously determines whether to trigger uplink transmission based on its own service status changes (e.g., starting/stopping services, speed changes) without requiring the network to continuously request updates. This self-service approach reduces unnecessary reporting and saves terminal energy.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal provides feedback to the network about its service status and speed information, enabling the network to adjust network parameters dynamically. This feedback mechanism ensures network optimization while reducing redundant transmissions by only reporting when actual changes occur.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenetwork optimizationVSAvoidnetwork throughput

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of continuous or frequent periodic reporting, the system uses event-triggered periodic action where the terminal reports only when service status changes occur. This reduces unnecessary uplink transmissions and preserves network throughput while maintaining optimization capability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal reports only the necessary service status information (partial action) rather than all radio frequency parameters. This selective reporting reduces uplink overhead and maintains network throughput while providing sufficient information for network optimization.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Reliability

If the terminal reports detailed service status and speed information, then the network can configure optimal parameters, but the signaling overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveparameter configuration accuracyVSAvoidsignaling overhead

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential service status information (service start/stop events and speed changes) that is necessary for network parameter configuration. By taking out only the critical information rather than reporting all possible parameters, signaling overhead is reduced while maintaining configuration accuracy.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

4Use of energy by moving object

If the terminal uses discontinuous reception to save energy, then terminal energy consumption decreases, but the terminal may miss important network messages

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveterminal energy consumptionVSAvoidmessage reception reliability

Core Design Contradiction:

Use of energy by moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal performs preliminary actions by autonomously determining and triggering uplink transmissions based on its service status changes before the network would need to request this information. This ensures important service status information is transmitted proactively while the terminal remains in low-power discontinuous reception mode, preventing missed messages.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A service control method, a terminal, and a network device. The method includes measuring, by a terminal, a service status of interaction between the terminal and a network and/or a moving speed of the terminal, and reporting, by the terminal, measured service status information and/or speed information to a network device such that the network device configures a network parameter of the terminal according to the service status information and/or the speed information. Therefore, a network throughput is improved, and terminal energy consumption is reduced.
