Data Bandwidth Management Device for Dynamic Resource Pooling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data bandwidth management technologies struggle to efficiently allocate data bandwidth among client devices within the service range of Customer-Premises Equipment (CPE), as temporary bandwidth requirements often exceed available CPE network capacity and Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) capabilities, while other devices may have unused bandwidth.
Innovation Solution
A data bandwidth management method and device that obtain data bandwidth sharing configurations from multiple devices, allocate bandwidth to client devices based on these configurations, and dynamically adjust allocations in response to congestion by inquiring nearby devices to share their bandwidth.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If data bandwidth is allocated based on individual SIM capability and CPE network capacity, then each device can access the Internet independently, but the total data bandwidth utilization is inefficient when temporary bandwidth requirements exceed available capacity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the data bandwidth resources of multiple client devices into a shared pool. The bandwidth management device aggregates available bandwidth from all connected devices and allocates it dynamically based on actual needs, transforming individual isolated bandwidth resources into a unified shared resource that improves overall utilization efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic bandwidth allocation where the bandwidth assigned to each client device changes in real-time based on current network conditions and demand. The system continuously monitors bandwidth usage and adjusts allocations dynamically, allowing the same physical bandwidth to serve different numbers and types of clients at different times.
2Productivity
If data bandwidth is shared among multiple client devices, then total bandwidth utilization improves, but the complexity of bandwidth allocation and management increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a dedicated bandwidth management device as an intermediary between the CPE network and client devices. This intermediary device handles all bandwidth allocation decisions, resource aggregation, and distribution logic, simplifying the overall system architecture by centralizing management functions and isolating complexity within a single component.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the bandwidth management device continuously monitors actual bandwidth usage, allocation effectiveness, and network conditions. Based on this feedback, the system automatically adjusts bandwidth allocations to optimize utilization while maintaining fair distribution, reducing the need for manual intervention and complex configuration.
3Quantity of substance
If unused bandwidth from other client devices is utilized, then available bandwidth increases, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring available bandwidth from multiple devices increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal bandwidth measurement and detection mechanism that operates across all client devices through the centralized bandwidth management device. This universal system performs multiple functions including detecting available bandwidth, measuring current usage, identifying unused capacity, and coordinating allocation across diverse device types and network conditions.
