Ad-hoc Network Data Processing with Silent Mode Priority
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In mobile ad-hoc networks, urgent voice data transmission is hindered by interference and delayed due to retransmissions, which can lead to further data loss and incomplete transmission of voice data.
Innovation Solution
The method involves distinguishing between urgent voice data and general data, using a silent mode to prioritize voice data transmission by determining node priorities and adjusting mode settings to ensure uninterrupted high-priority data paths, thereby minimizing interference and delay.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If retransmission is used to solve data transmission errors, then data transmission reliability is improved, but data transmission delay increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by establishing a silent mode before voice data transmission begins. Nodes along the transmission path are pre-configured to enter silent mode, preventing interference before it occurs. This eliminates the need for retransmission and associated delays, as the transmission path is secured in advance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary anti-action by having non-transmitting nodes enter silent mode to preemptively counteract potential interference. This prevents harmful interference from occurring in the first place, rather than dealing with its effects through retransmission after the fact.
2Reliability
If retransmission is performed to handle interference, then data transmission completeness is improved, but transmission time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by configuring nodes to enter silent mode before voice data transmission. This ensures the transmission path is clear in advance, allowing complete transmission without retransmission and minimizing total transmission time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent maintains continuity of useful action by ensuring voice data transmission occurs without interruption from interference. The silent mode configuration allows uninterrupted transmission, eliminating the breaks and delays caused by retransmission cycles.
3Reliability
If silent mode is activated to prioritize voice data, then voice data transmission reliability is improved, but general data transmission may be affected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by activating silent mode only in specific local areas (nodes along the voice data transmission path) and only when voice data transmission is detected. General data transmission in other parts of the network continues normally, minimizing the impact on overall network productivity while ensuring reliable voice data transmission.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements dynamics by making the silent mode configuration dynamic rather than static. Nodes transition to silent mode dynamically when voice data transmission is detected and return to normal operation when it ceases. This dynamic adjustment allows the network to adapt to changing traffic conditions and minimize impact on general data transmission.
Data Source
AI summary
Provided are an apparatus and a method for processing data in an ad-hoc network, particularly, an MANET. The method includes: (a) determining whether to generate any one of first data and second data having a priority lower than the first data; (b) when predetermined data is generated in accordance with the determination, measuring a mode value related to the driving of a first node which currently possesses the predetermined generated data; and (c) processing, by the first node, the generated data by considering a content of the generated data and the measured mode value.
