Solution Overview

Problem

In wireless communication systems, data is often unnecessarily transmitted to mobile devices without confirming their availability, leading to resource wastage and undeliverable data accumulation in the host service and router systems.

Innovation Solution

The system adaptively delivers data by determining the availability status of the mobile device through a host service and wireless router system, queuing data if the device is unavailable and transmitting only when it becomes available, using 'keep-alive' signals to maintain updated availability status.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the host service continuously transmits data to the mobile device as data becomes available, then the data delivery speed is improved, but resource waste increases due to unnecessary transmissions to unavailable devices

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata delivery speedVSAvoidresource waste
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback through availability status reporting from the mobile device to the host service. The mobile device periodically reports its availability status, and the host service uses this feedback information to control data transmission decisions, transmitting data only when the device is available and queving when unavailable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary action by determining the availability status of the mobile device before initiating data transmission. The host service checks whether the device is available and queues data in advance if the device is unavailable, preventing unnecessary transmission attempts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If the router queues undeliverable data for re-transmission, then the data delivery reliability is improved, but the router resource consumption increases due to accumulated undeliverable data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata delivery reliabilityVSAvoidrouter resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The router receives feedback about the mobile device's availability status and uses this information to decide whether to queue data for re-transmission. When the device is unavailable, the router discards data rather than queving it, preventing accumulation of undeliverable data while maintaining reliable delivery when the device is available.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If the wireless network repeatedly transmits data without confirmation of device availability, then the data transmission throughput is improved, but the network capacity waste increases due to unsuccessful transmissions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission throughputVSAvoidnetwork capacity waste
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The wireless network performs preliminary action by checking the availability status of the mobile device before transmitting data. The network uses the availability information to determine whether to proceed with transmission or discard the data, avoiding repeated unsuccessful transmissions and optimizing network capacity utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

4Loss of energy

If the host service monitors mobile device availability before data transmission, then the resource efficiency is improved, but the system complexity increases due to availability status tracking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mobile device provides self-service by autonomously monitoring its own availability status and reporting it to the host service and router. This self-reporting mechanism reduces the complexity of centralized monitoring while maintaining resource efficiency through accurate availability information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A system and a method for a wireless communication system (700) for adaptively delivering data to a wireless mobile communication device (702) based upon an availability status of the mobile device (702) in the wireless communication system (700) are disclosed. The wireless communication system (700) includes a host service (704) having data for the mobile device (702); a wireless router system (710) coupled to the host service (704) for determining the availability status of the mobile device (702) in the wireless communication system (700); and a wireless network (724) coupling the wireless router system (710) and the mobile device (702). The host service (704) transmits the data for the mobile device (702) if the availability status of the mobile device (702) is available, and queues the data in the host service (704) if the availability status of the mobile device (702) is unavailable until the availability status of the mobile device (702) becomes available.
