Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile communication systems face challenges in efficiently transferring increasing amounts of information due to limited bandwidth, interference, and varying data transfer capabilities across different wireless coverage areas, leading to complexity and difficulty in managing data transfer to and from mobile communication devices.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for anticipatory location-based mobile communication media transfer, which pre-plans information transfer based on the mobile device's anticipated travel route and available wireless services, utilizing location-determining capabilities like GPS and ultra-wideband positioning to configure data transfer when entering a coverage area with desired bandwidth, cost, and quality of service levels.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If real-time data transfer is performed in mobile communication systems, then information can be transmitted to and from mobile devices, but bandwidth is consumed and network resources are strained
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-arranges communication parameters and resource allocation before actual data transfer occurs. By anticipating the mobile device's travel route and pre-configuring transfer parameters when the device enters a coverage area with desired bandwidth and quality of service levels, the system reduces real-time processing needs and optimizes bandwidth usage.
2Productivity
If data transfer is optimized for quality of service and bandwidth, then transfer efficiency improves, but device complexity increases due to location tracking and pre-planning requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile device autonomously determines its own location using GPS or other location-determining capabilities and automatically triggers pre-planning of communication parameters. The system self-manages the complexity by having the device independently track its route and initiate transfer configurations without requiring complex external coordination.
3Use of energy by moving object
If location-based pre-planning is implemented, then power consumption during real-time transfer is reduced, but initial processing and location determination consume additional power
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs communication parameter configuration and resource allocation in advance, when the mobile device first enters a coverage area with suitable conditions. This preliminary action shifts processing load from real-time transfer operations to initial setup, reducing power consumption during actual data transmission despite the time required for pre-planning.
