Central Node Aggregation for IoT Uplink Transmission
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional wireless communication networks face congestion and inefficiency due to a large number of Internet of Things (IoT) or Machine-to-Machine (M2M) terminals, leading to network congestion and excessive signaling overhead, which decreases transmission efficiency.
Innovation Solution
An electronic apparatus for user equipment (UE) side, a central node apparatus, and a network side apparatus are designed to determine the optimal transmission mode based on service type and network conditions, allowing uplink data to be transmitted through a central node for aggregation and then to the network side, thereby reducing network resources usage and signaling overhead.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a large number of terminals are supported in conventional wireless communication networks, then user coverage and connectivity are improved, but network congestion increases and transmission efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the merging principle by introducing a central node that aggregates uplink data from multiple user equipment devices before transmitting to the network side apparatus. This combines multiple small data packets into larger aggregated packets, reducing the total number of transmission operations and decreasing network congestion while maintaining support for many users.
Solution Approach 2:
The central node apparatus serves as an intermediary between user equipment and the network side apparatus. It receives uplink data from multiple terminals, performs aggregation processing, and then transmits the aggregated data to the network side, thereby mediating the communication to reduce direct terminal-to-network traffic and improve transmission efficiency.
2Adaptability or versatility
If small packets are transmitted in conventional networks, then data transmission flexibility is improved, but signaling overhead becomes excessive
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges multiple small data packets from different user equipment into a single aggregated data stream at the central node. This aggregation process reduces the total number of signaling messages and control overhead required for data transmission, while the central node maintains the ability to route data to appropriate network destinations, preserving transmission flexibility.
3Device complexity
If uplink data is transmitted directly to network side apparatus, then transmission path simplicity is improved, but network resources are wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The central node apparatus acts as an intermediary that receives uplink data from user equipment, performs aggregation processing to optimize resource utilization, and then transmits to the network side apparatus. This intermediary approach allows the system to efficiently manage network resources by consolidating data transmissions rather than treating each user's data independently.
