Bonded MoCA Wi-Fi Pipeline for VR Data Throughput
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless technologies are unable to provide the necessary data throughput for advanced virtual reality applications, such as VR headsets, which require high-definition content transmission, especially when multiple users are involved, as they cannot efficiently handle the increased data intensity compared to traditional applications.
Innovation Solution
The solution involves bonding Multimedia over Coaxial (MoCA), Homeplug, and Wi-Fi Certified ac technologies to create a wider pipeline, which is then converted into Wi-Gig channels for transmission to VR headsets, achieving a 3 Gbit/s link that meets the data-intensive requirements of VR applications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If current wireless technologies are used for data transmission, then ease of operation is improved, but data throughput is insufficient for advanced virtual reality applications
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple wireless technologies (MoCA, Homeplug, Wi-Fi Certified ac) into a bonded connection to achieve higher data throughput (3 Gbit/s) while maintaining wireless operation. This merging allows the system to overcome the throughput limitations of individual wireless technologies and satisfy the data-intensive requirements of virtual reality applications.
2Productivity
If high-performance computer is placed in the same room to provide high data throughput, then data throughput is improved, but device complexity and space requirements worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables existing wireless infrastructure (coaxial cables, electrical wiring, Wi-Fi networks) to serve multiple functions - both traditional data transmission and high-throughput virtual reality content delivery. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for dedicated high-performance computers in each room, as the bonded wireless connection can provide sufficient throughput from a centralized location.
3Adaptability or versatility
If wireless technology range is extended to cover multiple rooms, then adaptability is improved, but cross-contamination between rooms occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent leverages the short-range characteristic of Wi-Gig technology as a beneficial feature rather than a limitation. By confining the high-throughput wireless connection to short ranges within single rooms, the system achieves high data throughput for virtual reality applications while naturally preventing cross-contamination between rooms. This local quality approach allows high adaptability within rooms while maintaining isolation between spaces.
