Communication Channel Maintenance for Data Transmission Delay Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless communication systems experience data transmission delays due to the need to re-establish communication channels after idle periods, as existing technologies do not effectively maintain channels during periods of inactivity, leading to increased latency and energy consumption.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that detects idle network conditions and maintains a communication channel with a server at a preset time interval, preventing channel release and reducing the need for re-establishment, thereby minimizing data transmission delay.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If the communication channel is released during idle periods to save energy, then energy consumption is reduced, but data transmission delay increases when the channel needs to be re-established
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal performs preliminary actions by detecting idle network conditions and maintaining the communication channel at preset time intervals even when no data transmission is occurring. This preliminary maintenance prevents the channel from being released, so when data transmission is needed again, the channel is already established and ready, avoiding the delay of re-establishment while still allowing for periodic energy-saving opportunities
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms by continuously detecting whether the network is idle and monitoring the communication channel status. Based on this feedback, the terminal dynamically adjusts whether to maintain or release the channel, creating a closed-loop control system that balances energy consumption and transmission delay requirements
2Loss of time
If the communication channel is maintained continuously to avoid re-establishment delay, then data transmission delay is reduced, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of continuous channel maintenance, the terminal employs periodic action by maintaining the communication channel at preset time intervals only during detected idle periods. This periodic maintenance approach keeps the channel available when needed while avoiding constant resource allocation, thus reducing energy consumption compared to continuous maintenance while still preventing excessive re-establishment delays

AI summary
A method for reducing data transmission delay is provided. The method includes: detecting whether a terminal has data sending or receiving, and determining whether a current network is idle; determining, if detecting that the terminal has no data sending or receiving, that the current network is idle, connecting and communicating with a server at a preset time interval, and maintaining the communication channel with the server. By the method, whether the network is idle is detected; when it is detected that the network is idle, connect and communicate with the server at a preset time interval, and maintain the communication channel with the server. This avoids the release of the channel due to idle network, and consequently avoids the need of re-establishing the channel when data transmission is enabled again, thereby reducing data transmission delay. Furthermore, a system for monitoring operation platform is also disclosed.
