Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If phase measurements are performed without configured time durations and resource sets, then measurement flexibility is improved, but measurement precision and efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The network side device performs preliminary configuration of time durations and resource sets before the actual measurement. This allows the user equipment to know in advance when and where to perform measurements, ensuring both flexibility through configurable parameters and precision through structured measurement occasions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces configurable parameters including time durations (periodic, aperiodic, or semi-persistent) and resource set identifiers that can be dynamically adjusted. By changing these parameters, the system adapts to different measurement scenarios while maintaining measurement precision through controlled measurement occasions.
2Device complexity
If phase measurements are performed without configured resource sets, then device complexity is reduced, but measurement efficiency and accuracy deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The measurement configuration is segmented into distinct components: time duration configuration and resource set configuration. This segmentation allows each component to be independently managed and configured, reducing overall complexity while improving efficiency through structured organization of measurement parameters.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary structure of resource sets that mediate between the measurement configuration and the actual measurement execution. This intermediary layer organizes measurement resources in a standardized manner, simplifying device complexity while enhancing measurement efficiency through predefined resource allocations.
3Reliability
If periodic measurements are performed without time duration configuration, then continuous monitoring capability is improved, but energy consumption and time efficiency worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic measurements with configurable time durations and periods. This allows continuous monitoring capability to be maintained through regular measurement cycles while controlling energy consumption by limiting measurements to specific periodic intervals rather than continuous operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The measurement configuration allows dynamic adjustment of time durations and periods based on monitoring needs. The system can adapt the measurement frequency and duration to balance continuous monitoring capability with energy consumption, performing measurements only when necessary within the configured periodic framework.
