Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If homogeneous network coordination is used, then network coordination is simple, but service quality and user experience are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The network is segmented into heterogeneous components (base stations and access points) with distinct functions. Base stations handle control plane operations while access points handle user plane data transmission, allowing specialized optimization of each component while maintaining overall system coordination through the base band unit.
Solution Approach 2:
The network coordination mechanism dynamically adapts to varying service requirements and user conditions. The base band unit dynamically selects and configures access points based on real-time data queue states, user location, and service type, enabling flexible adjustment of network resources to maintain high service quality.
2Productivity
If multiple access points are connected, then data transmission speed increases, but network coordination complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple access points are merged into a coordinated network under unified base band unit control. The base band unit aggregates data queues from multiple access points and implements centralized scheduling algorithms that optimize data flow across all connected access points, achieving high transmission speeds while maintaining manageable coordination complexity through unified control.
Solution Approach 2:
The base band unit continuously monitors data queue states, signal quality, and transmission performance from connected access points. Based on this feedback, the system dynamically adjusts data routing, access point selection, and resource allocation to maintain optimal transmission speed while preventing coordination complexity from becoming unmanageable.
3Reliability
If access points are dynamically selected, then data transmission stability improves, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The base band unit performs preliminary evaluation of access point suitability based on pre-collected information such as historical performance data, current data queue states, and predicted user movement patterns. This preliminary assessment enables faster access point selection while maintaining transmission stability, as the system has already prepared candidate access points and their performance characteristics before actual data transmission begins.
