Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If traffic bonding is used to expand transmission capacity, then transmission capacity is improved, but surplus radio bands cannot be effectively utilized
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the receiving apparatus monitors traffic flow rates on each radio link and feeds back this information to the transmitting apparatus. Based on this feedback, the transmitting apparatus dynamically adjusts traffic distribution to utilize surplus radio bands, converting otherwise wasted capacity into effective transmission resources.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the traffic distribution dynamic by continuously monitoring traffic flow rates and adjusting the distribution strategy in real-time. When surplus radio bands are detected on certain links, the system dynamically redirects traffic to these links, allowing the system to adapt to changing transmission conditions and maximize resource utilization.
2Quantity of substance
If multiple radio links are bundled for traffic bonding, then transmission capacity is expanded, but detection of surplus bands becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the monitoring function by having the receiving apparatus independently monitor traffic flow rates on each individual radio link. This segmentation simplifies the detection process by breaking down the complex virtual circuit into manageable individual links, making it easier to identify surplus bands on specific links without being overwhelmed by the complexity of the bundled configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces traffic flow rate information as an intermediary metric that mediates between the physical radio links and the virtual circuit. By monitoring and comparing traffic flow rates against link capacities, the system indirectly detects surplus bands without directly measuring complex virtual circuit parameters, simplifying the detection process.
3Reliability
If traffic is distributed across multiple radio links, then transmission capacity is secured, but effective use of surplus capacity is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter of traffic distribution by adjusting how traffic is allocated across radio links based on monitored flow rates. When surplus capacity is detected on certain links, the system modifies distribution parameters to redirect traffic, thereby converting idle capacity into productive transmission resources while maintaining reliable connectivity through the bonded links.
