Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data transmission protocols often restrict data transmission rates, leading to either excessive errors or suboptimal speed, as they limit options to a few standardized rates, which may not accommodate varying data transmission quality thresholds.
Innovation Solution
A method and circuit that establish a communication link between two communication circuits, allowing data transmission at a non-standardized rate below a predetermined standardized rate, using error detection to adjust the transmission protocol and rate based on quality thresholds, enabling faster data transfer while maintaining acceptable error rates.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If data is transmitted at a higher standardized data rate, then productivity is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to excessive errors
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the data transmission rate based on real-time channel quality measurements. Instead of being fixed to standardized rates, the transmission rate becomes a variable parameter that can be continuously optimized. The controller monitors error rates and automatically selects the optimal rate from available options, making the system adaptive to changing channel conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the transmission rate parameter from a discrete standardized value to a continuous adjustable parameter. By introducing non-standardized data rates between the standardized rates, the system gains finer control over the transmission rate. This allows selection of intermediate rates that may provide better performance than the nearest standardized rate.
2Device complexity
If a limited number of standardized data rates are used, then device complexity is reduced, but productivity deteriorates due to suboptimal transmission speed
Solution Approach 1:
The invention segments the data transmission rate range into multiple selectable rates, including both standardized and non-standardized rates. Rather than using a single standardized rate or a limited set, the system divides the rate spectrum into discrete options that can be selected based on channel conditions. This segmentation allows the system to maintain simplicity while accessing a broader range of transmission rates.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication system is designed to support multiple data transmission rates within a single protocol framework. The controller can selectively activate different transmission rates based on channel quality, making the system multi-functional in terms of rate selection. This universality allows the same hardware and protocol to operate at various rates without requiring separate specialized systems.

AI summary
A method of enabling a communication channel between a first communication circuit and a second communication circuit is described. The method comprises establishing a communication link according to a communication protocol between the first communication circuit and the second communication circuit, wherein the communication protocol enables the transmission of data between the first communication circuit and the second communication circuit at a standardized data rate; determining a standardized data rate for which the communication link between the first communication circuit and the second communication circuit fails to meet a predetermined quality threshold; and establishing a communication link according to the communication protocol at a non-standardized data rate below the determined standardized data rate.
