Data Traffic Regulation System for Carrier Network Overload Prevention
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Unregulated data traffic requests on carrier networks can lead to network overload and service disruptions, necessitating a system to regulate data transmission between client devices and servers based on pre-defined criteria to prevent customer dissatisfaction and costly repairs.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that determine whether to allow data file transmission based on pre-defined criteria, including file size, network connection type, and carrier connection type, and send a message to the client device indicating when second criteria will be met for allowed transmission, such as requiring a WiFi connection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If data transmission is allowed without regulation, then customer satisfaction is improved, but network overload and service disruptions occur
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by checking data file characteristics against pre-defined criteria before allowing transmission. The server evaluates file size, network connection type, and carrier connection type in advance, and only permits transmission when criteria are satisfied, preventing network overload before it occurs.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts transmission permissions based on real-time conditions. The pre-defined criteria can be updated on each request, session, or frequency interval, allowing the network to adapt its regulation strategy dynamically rather than using static rules, thus balancing customer satisfaction with network stability.
2Reliability
If data transmission is regulated strictly, then network stability is improved, but customer dissatisfaction occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies partial regulation by not blocking all transmissions but only those that fail to meet the pre-defined criteria. By allowing transmissions that satisfy the criteria (appropriate file sizes, suitable network types), the system maintains network stability while avoiding excessive restriction that would cause customer dissatisfaction.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by sending messages to client devices when transmission criteria are not met, informing users of the specific conditions that would allow transmission. This transparent feedback helps manage customer expectations and reduces dissatisfaction by explaining the regulation rationale.
3Adaptability or versatility
If large data files are transmitted over carrier networks, then user access flexibility is improved, but network overload and costly repairs occur
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by regulating transmissions based on specific characteristics of each data file and network connection. Instead of uniform restriction, it evaluates file size, connection type, and carrier type individually, allowing flexible access for appropriate combinations while preventing excessive resource consumption for unsuitable transmissions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes parameters by updating the pre-defined criteria based on various factors including each request, new sessions, frequency intervals, or application launches. This allows the network to adapt its resource management strategy by adjusting transmission thresholds and requirements according to current network conditions and usage patterns.

AI summary
A system, method, and computer-readable medium for regulating data traffic between a client device and a server. The system determines whether a transmission of a data file is allowable based on pre-defined criteria. The system provides an indication of whether the transmission is allowable and under what conditions the transmission would be allowable. If the transmission of a data file is requested and the transmission is not allowable, a message is sent from the server to the client device that first pre-defined criteria are not met and the message indicates that the transmission of the data file will be allowed when second pre-defined criteria are met.
