Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication systems face a trade-off between availability and maximum bandwidth when implementing multipath redundancy, with fixed redundancy settings limiting usable bandwidth and failing to adapt to varying communication frequencies and application needs.
Innovation Solution
A redundancy control device that dynamically adjusts redundancy based on predicted communication bandwidth, using a processor to determine an upper limit and set redundancy appropriate for each application, balancing availability and bandwidth according to specific communication requirements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If redundancy is increased to ensure communication availability, then reliability is improved, but usable bandwidth decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic redundancy adjustment where the redundancy level is not fixed but changes based on real-time network conditions. The system monitors communication states and automatically adjusts the degree of redundancy to match current network reliability requirements, allowing the system to maintain high availability when needed while maximizing bandwidth utilization when network conditions are stable.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the redundancy parameter based on communication states and network conditions. By adjusting the redundancy level as a variable parameter rather than a constant, the system can optimize the balance between reliability and bandwidth usage根据不同 communication scenarios, achieving both high availability and efficient resource utilization.
2Reliability
If multipath communication is implemented to avoid abnormal events, then reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs feedback mechanisms where the system continuously monitors network communication states and uses this information to control redundancy levels. This closed-loop control allows the system to automatically adjust multipath configuration based on actual network conditions, reducing manual configuration complexity while maintaining high reliability through adaptive path selection and redundancy management.

AI summary
A redundancy of communication in a communication system can be appropriately set. A configuration is provided in which in a server for setting a redundancy for a communication system allowing communication via a network according to a set redundancy, a processor is provided, and the processor is configured to receive, from an application, a use-predicted communication bandwidth which is a communication bandwidth predicted to be used in the network, determine a redundancy limit which is an upper limit of a redundancy in communication by the application based on a communication bandwidth usable in the network and the use-predicted communication bandwidth, and set, in the communication system, a redundancy equal to or less than the determined redundancy limit as the redundancy in the communication by the application.
