Dynamic Bandwidth Pooling via Local Sharing Network
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current solutions for enhancing bandwidth in DSL networks require physical modifications to the telecommunications network, making them expensive and inflexible, and are not well-suited for adapting to changing user needs.
Innovation Solution
A method that utilizes a local sharing network to dynamically pool resources among neighboring access equipment, allowing a user terminal to access resources beyond its subscribed bandwidth by requesting and retransmitting data stream portions through a sharing network, thereby optimizing bandwidth usage without physical intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If physical aggregation of DSL lines is implemented, then bandwidth availability is improved, but network complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges bandwidth resources from multiple DSL lines by creating a shared pool that can be dynamically allocated to users. Instead of physically aggregating lines through complex hardware modifications, the system combines available bandwidth from different access equipment into a virtual pool that users can access when their subscribed bandwidth is insufficient.
Solution Approach 2:
The sharing network infrastructure is designed to serve multiple functions: it provides bandwidth supplementation, enables flexible resource allocation, and supports dynamic user access. The same infrastructure can serve different users with different bandwidth needs without requiring dedicated physical aggregation for each user.
2Quantity of substance
If physical modification of telecommunications network is performed, then bandwidth capacity is improved, but adaptability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements dynamic bandwidth allocation where users can access additional bandwidth from the sharing pool based on real-time needs and availability. The bandwidth capacity is not fixed through physical modification but dynamically adjusted through software control, allowing the network to adapt to changing user requirements without physical intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of bandwidth allocation from a fixed physical configuration to a flexible software-controlled parameter. Users can subscribe to different bandwidth levels and access the sharing pool according to their needs, with the system dynamically adjusting resource allocation based on available capacity and user demands.
3Quantity of substance
If operator intervention on network is required, then bandwidth needs are met, but operational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automated bandwidth management where users can request additional bandwidth from the sharing pool through automated processes. The system automatically allocates resources, manages subscriptions, and handles delivery requests without requiring manual operator intervention for each bandwidth adjustment.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the system continuously monitors bandwidth usage, availability in the sharing pool, and user needs. Based on this feedback, the system automatically adjusts resource allocation and can prompt users when additional bandwidth is available, reducing the need for manual operator assessment and decision-making.
4Quantity of substance
If physical aggregation solution is implemented, then cumulative bandwidth is made available, but flexibility deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the cumulative bandwidth from multiple DSL lines into individually accessible portions within the sharing pool. Instead of creating a fixed aggregated connection, the system divides the total available bandwidth into manageable units that can be allocated to different users based on their specific needs, allowing flexible combination of resources without permanent physical aggregation.

AI summary
The invention relates to a method for processing a delivery request, issued by a user terminal, of at least one data stream destined for a remote server connected to a telecommunications network, said terminal being connected to said telecommunications network via a first access device, said method being characterized in that it comprises the following steps: - receiving said delivery request of said at least one stream; - obtaining at least one offer to make resources available from a first local network, said sharing network, connecting said first access device to at least one second access device to the telecommunications network; - determining at least a portion of said stream based on said at least one offer received; - issuing at least one delivery command for said at least a portion of said stream destined for the sharing network;- upon receipt of at least one portion thereof, retransmission of at least one portion thereof to the user terminal.
