Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If various gaps are configured for terminal operations (measurement, MUSIM, power control), then operational efficiency and scalability are improved, but device complexity and configuration difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting gap configurations based on terminal capability information and network conditions. The base station modifies gap parameters (timing, duration, frequency) according to terminal support capabilities, enabling flexible optimization of measurement gaps, MUSIM gaps, and power control gaps without fixed rigid structures, thus improving operational efficiency while managing complexity through adaptive parameter tuning
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics by making gap configurations adaptive and reconfigurable rather than static. The system continuously adjusts gap timing and parameters based on real-time terminal capabilities and network conditions, allowing the terminal to efficiently switch between different gap configurations for measurement, MUSIM operation, and power control, thereby improving productivity while the systematic management of dynamic parameters prevents complexity escalation
2Manufacturing precision
If gap configurations are optimized for specific operations, then operational precision is improved, but adaptability to different scenarios deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a unified gap configuration framework that serves multiple functions simultaneously. The same gap configuration mechanism handles measurement gaps, MUSIM operation gaps, and power control gaps, allowing a single adaptive system to precisely manage different terminal operations across diverse scenarios, thereby maintaining both precision and adaptability through multi-functional design
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-configuring multiple gap templates and patterns that can be quickly activated based on terminal capabilities and network conditions. Rather than optimizing configurations in real-time for each scenario, the system prepares multiple pre-defined gap configurations that can be rapidly selected and applied, achieving precise operation-specific optimization while maintaining adaptability through pre-prepared scenario-based templates
