Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication networks face limitations in data transmission speed, particularly in mobile internet scenarios, where existing technologies fail to efficiently coordinate data transmission among devices, leading to suboptimal data uploading and downloading speeds.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device and method for coordinated transmission, which involves a coordination establishment module to establish connections with candidate devices and a data transmission module to communicate through multiple communication links, optimizing data transmission by determining suitable coordination devices based on network parameters and allocating transmission tasks effectively.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If centralized data uploading manner is used, then data can be stored in local memory or network hard disk, but data transmission speed is limited by network speed and storage space cannot be emptied timely

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata storage reliabilityVSAvoiddata transmission speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the centralized upload task into multiple parallel upload paths by introducing coordination devices. The source device can simultaneously upload data through multiple communication links via different coordination devices, dividing the single centralized upload channel into multiple distributed channels, thereby improving overall transmission speed while maintaining data reliability through redundant paths

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If multiple communication links are established for coordinated transmission, then data transmission speed is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission speedVSAvoidcoordination connection complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces coordination devices as intermediaries that manage and simplify the multi-link transmission process. These coordination devices handle the complexity of establishing and maintaining multiple communication links, coordinating data flow between the source device and destination, thereby enabling high-speed multi-path transmission without requiring the source device to directly manage the complexity of multiple connections

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

The invention discloses a mobile terminal and a method and device for implementing coordinated transmission between mobile terminals. The mobile terminal comprises a coordinated establishment module configured to send a coordinated request signal to candidate coordinated terminals as well as determine coordinated terminals in accordance with a response of the candidate coordinated terminal and establish coordinated connection with the determined coordinated terminal, and a data transmission module configured to transmit target data by a plurality of communication links, the plurality of communication links comprising communication links between the mobile terminal and the coordinated terminal. In the invention, a request manner is used to launch the coordination and the plurality of communication links are adopted to transmit data by means of the coordinated terminal so that the coordinated connection is established reasonably and the rate to transmit the data through the plurality of communication links is improved effectively.
