Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless network systems face challenges in efficiently allocating network resources to balance data exchange speed and latency with power and computational resource consumption.

Innovation Solution

The system dynamically allocates network resources by determining the time duration of burst transmissions and activating or deactivating network resources based on saturation criteria, allowing for efficient use of carrier components to optimize data exchange.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If more network resources (carrier components) are activated for data exchange, then data transmission speed increases and latency reduces, but power consumption and computational resource usage increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission speedVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic activation and deactivation of carrier components based on real-time network conditions and traffic requirements. The system monitors network resource utilization and dynamically adjusts the number of active carrier components, transitioning from static resource allocation to adaptive dynamic allocation, thereby optimizing the balance between transmission performance and power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes operational parameters by adjusting the number of active carrier components based on traffic patterns and network conditions. When traffic demand is high, more carrier components are activated to increase throughput; when demand is low, fewer components remain active to conserve power, thus dynamically optimizing the parameter of active resources according to actual needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Loss of time

If more network resources are activated to reduce latency during high utilization, then data exchange efficiency improves, but network resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovelatencyVSAvoidnetwork resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamic resource allocation by continuously monitoring network utilization metrics and adjusting carrier component activation states in real-time. During high utilization periods, the system dynamically activates additional carrier components to reduce latency; during low utilization periods, it deactivates excess components to conserve network resources, creating a responsive adaptive system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by monitoring network resource utilization metrics and using this information to control carrier component activation. The feedback loop detects when latency increases due to high utilization and responds by activating additional carrier components, thereby automatically adjusting network resource allocation based on observed performance conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Use of energy by moving object

If network resources are deactivated to conserve power during low utilization, then energy efficiency improves, but data transmission capability decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower efficiencyVSAvoiddata transmission capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by activating only the necessary number of carrier components required to handle current traffic demands, rather than keeping all possible resources active at all times. During low utilization periods, the system deactivates excess carrier components while maintaining enough active resources to handle incoming traffic, thus achieving partial resource activation that balances power efficiency with adequate transmission capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes the parameter of active carrier components based on traffic patterns. When traffic demand is low, the system reduces the number of active components to improve power efficiency; when demand increases, it increases the number of active components to restore transmission capability, thus adaptively adjusting resources to match actual needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

In an example method, a first device determines first network resources that have been activated for exchanging data with one or more second devices via a wireless network, and determines, for each of the first network resources, a time duration of a respective burst transmission performed using that first network resource. The first device determines whether to (i) activate second network resources for exchanging data with the second devices and/or (ii) deactivate one or more of the first network resources for exchanging data with the second devices. In response, the first device activates the second network resources and/or deactivates the one or more of the first network resources.
