Adaptive Transport Protocol Optimization for Medical Image Transmission
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing medical data transmission systems lack flexibility in adapting transport protocols to changing demands, requiring manual reconfiguration by service technicians and failing to optimize protocols dynamically for specific data types and network conditions.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for automatically acquiring data-specific parameters, converting them into transport protocol-specific parameters using a mapping function, and adapting the transport protocol dynamically for optimal data transmission, allowing for real-time adjustments based on current data and network conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If transport protocol parameters are fixed during the development phase, then system configuration is simplified initially, but the system lacks flexibility to adapt to different data transmission demands and requires manual reconfiguration by service technicians
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically adapts transport protocol parameters by acquiring data-specific parameters and converting them to protocol parameters through a mapping function, eliminating the need for manual service technician intervention and enabling self-configuration
Solution Approach 2:
The transport protocol configuration changes from static (fixed during development) to dynamic (automatically adaptable during operation), allowing the system to adjust protocol parameters based on current data transmission requirements without manual intervention
2Adaptability or versatility
If transport protocol is configured manually by service technicians, then adaptation to specific demands is possible, but operational costs increase and automation is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic protocol adaptation through automated acquisition of data parameters and automated conversion via mapping functions, completely eliminating the need for manual service technician intervention in protocol configuration
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically changes transport protocol parameters based on data-specific parameters acquired during operation, enabling dynamic adaptation without manual intervention and reducing operational costs
3Productivity
If large packets are used in data transmission, then transmission overhead is reduced, but for certain data types higher frequency and smaller packets are required to meet transmission demands
Solution Approach 1:
The mapping function converts data-specific parameters (including data type, size, and characteristics) into appropriate transport protocol parameters (including packet size and transmission frequency), automatically optimizing packet configuration for different data types
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies different packet size and transmission frequency configurations tailored to specific data types and transmission requirements, rather than using a uniform configuration for all data
