Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If wake up radio (WUR) is used in UEs, then power consumption is reduced, but resource allocation efficiency deteriorates due to lack of classification
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by introducing WUR class indications that categorize UEs based on their wake up radio configuration characteristics. Network nodes use these class parameters to differentiate resource allocation strategies, allowing efficient scheduling while maintaining the power-saving benefits of WUR operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements local quality by applying different resource allocation and communication strategies tailored to specific WUR classes. Instead of uniform treatment, the network node adapts its behavior to the local characteristics of each UE class, optimizing both power efficiency and resource utilization for each category.
2Device complexity
If wake up radio (WUR) is used in UEs, then device complexity is reduced, but communication efficiency deteriorates without classification mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces WUR class indication parameters that enable the network to recognize and adapt to different UE capabilities. This allows simple WUR-based devices to communicate efficiently by matching them with appropriate network configurations and resource allocation strategies based on their class.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal classification framework that works across diverse WUR implementations. The WUR class indication mechanism provides a multi-functional solution that handles various device types, configurations, and scenarios through a unified approach, maintaining communication efficiency without increasing device complexity.
3Ease of operation
If wake up radio (WUR) is used in UEs, then ease of operation is improved, but system performance deteriorates without optimized strategies
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses WUR class indication parameters to enable the network to automatically adapt its operation to different UE types. This maintains ease of operation for devices while the network compensates for performance optimization through intelligent resource allocation and communication strategy selection based on detected class parameters.
