Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that establish a communication link between processing units through a wireless network using dynamic routes, with a first and second gateway, and a wireless network processing unit that encapsulates signals for secure transmission without reconfiguring each wireless node, utilizing a processor, memory, and wireless module to manage routes and ensure data security.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a xDSL link is combined with a radio network to provide access to remote clients, then access to remote areas is improved, but routing overhead traffic and processing requirements increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces tunnel endpoints and encryption/decryption devices as intermediaries between the xDSL network and radio network. These intermediaries encapsulate data packets in tunnels, performing routing and security functions centrally rather than requiring each wireless node to perform routing operations, thereby reducing routing overhead and processing requirements in the radio network.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts routing and security processing functions from the wireless network nodes and concentrates them in tunnel endpoints and encryption devices. By taking out these complex functions from the distributed wireless nodes and centralizing them, the routing overhead traffic and processing requirements in the radio network are significantly reduced.
2Adaptability or versatility
If each wireless node is configured in accordance with other wireless nodes and surrounding networks, then network adaptability is improved, but configuration costs and maintenance requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates universal tunnel endpoints and encryption/decryption devices that can operate in multiple network configurations and environments. These universal intermediaries handle adaptability centrally, allowing wireless nodes to maintain simple, standardized configurations while still achieving network adaptability through the versatile tunneling and encryption infrastructure.
Solution Approach 2:
The tunnel endpoints act as intermediaries that absorb the complexity of network configuration and adaptation. Instead of requiring each wireless node to be configured according to other nodes and surrounding networks, the tunnel endpoints handle all configuration adaptability, simplifying node deployment and reducing maintenance requirements.
3Speed
If data is transmitted directly in the radio network, then transmission speed is improved, but security against eavesdropping deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces encryption and decryption devices as intermediaries in the data transmission path. Data is encrypted before transmission through the radio network and decrypted at the destination. This intermediary encryption layer maintains high transmission speeds while providing security against eavesdropping, as the encryption/decryption operations are performed efficiently at the endpoints rather than slowing down the radio transmission itself.
4Speed
If satellite links are used to provide high-speed Internet access in remote areas, then access speed is improved, but implementation cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges xDSL network infrastructure with radio network access, creating a hybrid system that combines the advantages of both technologies. Instead of using expensive satellite links, the solution combines terrestrial xDSL connectivity with wireless radio access, achieving high-speed Internet access in remote areas through a cost-effective combination of existing infrastructure technologies.
