Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless communication systems lack an efficient method to optimize the delivery of unicast and broadcast/multicast communication modes, as existing standards do not define how to dynamically manage these modes for wireless communication devices.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that dynamically select between wireless information broadcast, multicast, and unicast communication modes based on the number of devices receiving information, using a wireless communication mode selector and notifier to adjust the communication mode for optimal resource utilization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If unicast communication mode is used for each requesting device, then individual device service quality is maintained, but network resource consumption increases with the number of devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple unicast communication streams into a single broadcast/multicast stream when multiple devices request the same information. The system dynamically switches from individual unicast transmissions to a shared broadcast/multicast transmission, merging the communication resources to reduce overall network consumption while maintaining service quality for all requesting devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic switching between unicast and broadcast/multicast communication modes based on real-time network conditions and device request patterns. The system continuously monitors the number of requesting devices and automatically adjusts the communication mode, transitioning from static to dynamic resource allocation to optimize both service quality and network efficiency.
2Loss of energy
If broadcast/multicast communication mode is used for multiple devices, then network resource efficiency improves, but individual device service customization is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables dynamic mode switching that adapts to specific service requirements. When devices request identical content, the system uses broadcast/multicast for resource efficiency. When devices require customized or different content, the system automatically transitions to unicast mode, maintaining service adaptability and versatility while optimizing network resource usage based on real-time conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different communication modes to different data streams or service groups based on local requirements. Instead of using a single communication mode for all devices, the system selectively applies broadcast/multicast to groups with identical content needs and unicast to devices requiring customization, allowing each local service context to have the appropriate communication quality.
3Productivity
If dynamic mode switching is implemented, then overall system efficiency is optimized, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms that monitor network conditions, device request patterns, and communication performance metrics. This feedback drives automatic mode switching decisions, allowing the system to optimize efficiency through dynamic adaptation while using standardized feedback loops and decision algorithms to manage and control the system complexity at acceptable levels.
