Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If wireless access technologies are multiplexed by definition of the same radio resources, then resource allocation is simplified, but it becomes difficult to multiplex wireless access technologies with different resource definitions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the resource definition parameters by introducing a new parameter set that includes a parameter indicating the start position of radio resources and a parameter indicating the length of radio resources. This allows different wireless access technologies to be multiplexed by varying these parameters while maintaining a unified resource allocation framework, thus resolving the contradiction between simplified resource allocation and multiplexing capability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If resource definitions are made flexible to accommodate different use cases, then adaptability improves, but frequency use efficiency deteriorates due to difficulty in multiplexing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal resource allocation framework that can handle both flexible parameter definitions and efficient multiplexing. By defining a unified parameter set that can accommodate different wireless access technologies and use cases, the system achieves both adaptability and frequency use efficiency through a single multi-functional resource allocation mechanism.
