Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If multiple wireless modems are used to transmit data streams over parallel channels, then bandwidth and availability are improved, but device complexity and resource management difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a network component as an intermediary that receives performance information from multiple wireless modems and sends network-related information back to the bonding device. This mediator simplifies the complexity by centralizing the management of multiple parallel channels, allowing the bonding device to focus on data stream distribution while the network component handles coordination and optimization.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where the bonding device sends performance information about data stream transmission to the network component, which then responds with network-related information. This closed-loop feedback enables dynamic adjustment of transmission parameters to optimize bandwidth utilization while managing device complexity through automated control.
2Reliability
If data streams are distributed across multiple parallel channels without network assistance, then transmission redundancy is improved, but resource utilization efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic resource allocation where the bonding device adjusts the distribution of data streams across parallel wireless channels based on real-time network conditions received from the network component. This dynamic adjustment ensures transmission redundancy is maintained when needed while optimizing resource utilization by adapting to changing network states, preventing waste of energy and resources.
3Ease of operation
If manual management of data streams over multiple channels is used, then control flexibility is maintained, but QoS and operational efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service operation where the bonding device autonomously manages data stream distribution across multiple wireless channels using network-related information received from the network component. This automated self-management maintains control flexibility while significantly improving QoS and operational efficiency, eliminating the need for manual intervention in complex multi-channel coordination.
