Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If all terminal devices communicate in wireless communication manner, then cabling difficulty is resolved, but resource configuration complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecabling difficultyVSAvoidresource configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the resource configuration process into distinct phases: resource pool determination, resource parameter acquisition, time-frequency resource determination, and resource configuration information sending. This segmentation simplifies the overall complexity by breaking down the resource management task into manageable, modular steps that can be executed systematically.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-determining a resource pool before actual communication occurs. The first terminal device determines the resource pool in advance, acquires resource parameters, and prepares time-frequency resource allocations before needing to communicate with second terminal devices. This preliminary preparation reduces real-time configuration complexity during actual communication operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If resource parameters are preconfigured for all terminal devices, then resource allocation speed increases, but adaptability to different device types decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation speedVSAvoidadaptability to different device types
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by allowing different terminal devices to acquire resource parameters according to their specific device types and capabilities. While the resource pool is determined globally by the first terminal device, individual second terminal devices can obtain customized resource parameters suitable for their specific characteristics, achieving both efficiency and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamics by making the resource parameter acquisition process flexible rather than static. The system allows terminal devices to dynamically acquire resource parameters based on their device types, communication requirements, and current system conditions. This dynamic approach enables the system to adapt to different device types while maintaining efficient resource allocation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
