Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In one-to-many or many-to-many streaming media applications, conventional technologies fail to account for the diverse service requirements and data processing capabilities of different streaming media sinks, resulting in inconsistent user experiences.
Innovation Solution
A communication method that groups streaming media sinks into different multicast groups based on their attributes, allowing for tailored streaming media data streams to meet individual user requirements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If a terminal sends a communication request to a network device, then communication connection can be established, but communication delay increases when the terminal moves between base stations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing communication connections with neighboring base stations before the terminal actually moves to their coverage areas. The network device proactively sets up connection paths and configures routing information in advance, so when handover occurs, the terminal can immediately use the pre-configured connections without waiting for new connection establishment, thus reducing communication delay.
2Reliability
If the terminal communicates with the core network through a base station, then network access is achieved, but data packets are discarded when the base station changes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the communication path into multiple parallel segments or routes. When the terminal moves between base stations, different data packets can be routed through different base stations or paths. The network device maintains multiple active connection paths, so if one path becomes unavailable due to base station change, other paths remain active to deliver data packets, preventing packet loss and maintaining communication reliability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the terminal moves between base stations, then mobility is supported, but communication interruption occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the communication connection flexible and adaptable to terminal movement. The network device dynamically adjusts routing paths, connection parameters, and base station selections based on real-time terminal location and network conditions. Multiple connection paths are maintained in a dynamic state, allowing seamless switching between base stations without communication interruption, thus supporting mobility while maintaining continuity.
