Communication Resource Assignment System for Static Sensor Networks
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In communication resource assignment systems, especially in industrial settings with fixed sensor installations, conventional dynamic resource assignment methods can lead to unexpected results, are difficult to develop and implement, require significant hardware resources, and incur overhead due to unnecessary maintenance in static environments.
Innovation Solution
A communication resource assignment system where the resource assignment function is separated from the resource distribution function, allowing for static assignment before system operation, enabling easier operator control, algorithm replacement, and high-performance processing, while reducing hardware requirements and overhead.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If dynamic resource assignment is used in fixed sensor installations, then communication resources can be allocated flexibly, but the system becomes difficult to control and maintain
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides resource assignment into two distinct phases: static assignment (performed once during system setup) and dynamic distribution (performed during operation). This segmentation allows operators to control the overall resource allocation strategy while the system automatically handles dynamic adjustments, resolving the contradiction between flexibility and controllability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary static resource assignment before system operation begins. By pre-defining resource allocation strategies for fixed sensor installations, the system eliminates the need for operators to continuously adjust resources during operation, maintaining both flexibility in resource usage and simplicity in operation.
2Extent of automation
If conventional resource assignment systems are used, then resource distribution can be managed centrally, but hardware resources and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the complex resource assignment algorithm from the centralized distribution system and implements it as a separate static assignment module. This extraction reduces the complexity of the main distribution system while maintaining centralized management capabilities, as the algorithm handles resource optimization independently.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a simplified copy of the resource assignment functionality that operates independently during static assignment. This copying approach allows the main distribution system to remain simple while the copied module handles complex resource optimization, reducing overall system complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If dynamic resource assignment is implemented, then resource allocation can adapt to changing conditions, but overhead increases due to continuous maintenance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic static resource assignment that is performed once during system setup or when significant changes occur, rather than continuously. This periodic approach maintains adaptability to changing conditions while dramatically reducing system overhead compared to continuous dynamic assignment, especially in static environments where conditions change infrequently.
