Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the network device queries capability information from the terminal, then the network device can determine whether the terminal is capable of broadcasting identity information, but the process requires additional communication steps and time
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal proactively sends capability information to the network device before the network device needs to determine broadcasting capability. This preliminary action eliminates the need for subsequent capability queries and allows the network device to directly use the provided information for control decisions.
2Productivity
If the terminal broadcasts identity information, then the network device can acquire identity information timely, but not all terminals support this broadcasting capability
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal provides feedback information about its broadcasting capability to the network device. Based on this feedback, the network device adapts its behavior accordingly - utilizing broadcasting for capable terminals while falling back to alternative methods for terminals without broadcasting capability, thus ensuring universal compatibility.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the network device uses alternative methods to acquire terminal identity information, then it can work with all terminals, but the acquisition process becomes more complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The identity acquisition process is segmented into two independent paths: one for terminals with broadcasting capability and another for terminals without. The network device selects the appropriate path based on capability information, simplifying the overall process by avoiding unnecessary complexity for the majority of cases while maintaining universal compatibility.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a capability information sending method and apparatus and a capability determination method and apparatus. The capability information sending method comprises: sending capability information to a network device to indicate the capability of a terminal of supporting broadcasting of identity information of the terminal. According to the present disclosure, an unmanned aerial vehicle can send capability information to a network device, and, by means of the capability information, inform the network device of whether the unmanned aerial vehicle has the capability of identity information broadcasting, so that the network device timely determines whether the unmanned aerial vehicle supports broadcasting of the identity information itself, so as to acquire the identity information of the unmanned aerial vehicle in time. For example, for an unmanned aerial vehicle supporting identity information broadcasting, configuration information for broadcasting identity information can be sent to the unmanned aerial vehicle; and for an unmanned aerial vehicle not supporting identity information broadcasting, configuration information for identity information unicasting can be sent to the unmanned aerial vehicle, or the identity information of the unmanned aerial vehicle can be acquired in other modes.
