Dynamic Resource Repositioning for Grid Network Load Balancing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing network load balancing technologies are not scalable and fail to maintain a constant load index when resources are added or removed, leading to imbalanced infrastructure and management challenges, particularly in grid-based networks.
Innovation Solution
A dynamic resource repositioning and location management system that maps the grid network topology, determines the initial placement of incoming resources, and repositions resources based on decision-making mechanisms to balance load across nodes, ensuring constant load index through shifting resources between corner and intermittent nodes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If dynamic load balancing techniques are used, then load distribution flexibility is improved, but system stability deteriorates when the system is stable
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dual-mode load balancing system that dynamically switches between static and dynamic algorithms based on system stability conditions. When the system is in a stable state, the static algorithm maintains constant load distribution. When changes are detected, the system transitions to the dynamic algorithm for flexible load redistribution, thus resolving the contradiction between stability and adaptability.
2Productivity
If existing load balancing technologies are used, then load distribution is achieved, but scalability deteriorates and load index cannot remain constant when resources are added or removed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a feedback mechanism that continuously monitors system resources and load distribution status. When resources are added or removed, the system detects these changes and automatically triggers repositioning operations to maintain constant load index across all grids, enabling scalable load distribution without compromising existing productivity.
3Quantity of substance
If resources are added to increase network capacity, then network capability is improved, but load balance deteriorates requiring additional resources
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary repositioning actions that are triggered immediately when resources are added to the network. Instead of allowing load imbalance to develop, the system proactively redistributes existing resources across grids before the imbalance becomes significant, maintaining load balance without requiring additional resources beyond what was originally added for capacity expansion.

AI summary
A dynamic resource repositioning load balancing and location management system repositions an incoming resource in a grid network of nodes. The system includes a first mapping device to map topology of said gird network of nodes, along with its resources; a determination device to determine at least an incoming resource's initial placement in terms of relative position of said node that the resource currently occupies and in terms of relative number of edges on which said resource currently resides; and resource repositioning device to reposition said at least a resource, in said grid network of nodes, in response to an incoming resource, said repositioning based on said determined position of said incoming resource; characterized, in that, said repositioning mechanism being guided by at least a step or a combination of steps or repetition of steps selected from a group of steps.
