Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Content delivery networks face inefficiencies in information transmission between core and edge nodes due to static chunk unit sizes, leading to low compression ratios and increased delay times, especially for small-sized content and TCP-based transmissions.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a dynamic chunk structure where the edge node determines the delivery unit based on the characteristics or cumulative amount of the original information, allowing for adaptive chunk unit sizes to optimize compression and transmission efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a static chunk unit size is used for compression, then the compression process is simple, but the compression ratio is low and transmission efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by transitioning from a static chunk unit size to a dynamic chunk unit size that adapts based on the cumulative amount of data. The core node determines the chunk unit size dynamically according to the accumulated data volume, allowing the system to optimize compression ratios for different data sizes while maintaining manageable complexity through automated determination.
2Device complexity
If a static chunk unit size is used, then the system structure is simple, but the delay time increases especially for small-sized content
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the chunk unit size parameter dynamically based on the cumulative data amount. For small-sized content, the system determines an appropriate chunk unit size that reduces delay time, while for large content, it adjusts to optimize compression. This parameter adaptation resolves the contradiction between simple system structure and reduced delay time.
3Reliability
If the original information is transmitted again from the core node to the edge node, then data consistency is maintained, but transmission redundancy and delay increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies feedback by implementing a mechanism where the edge node sends information about already cached content back to the core node. The core node uses this feedback to determine whether to transmit original information or generate compression information based on the cumulative amount of data. This feedback loop maintains data consistency while reducing transmission redundancy and delay.
4Productivity
If compression information is generated dynamically based on delivery unit, then transmission efficiency is improved, but the complexity of the transmission process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling the core node to automatically determine the chunk unit size based on the cumulative amount of data without requiring complex external control mechanisms. The system serves itself by using the data accumulation information to dynamically adjust compression parameters, improving transmission efficiency while keeping the process complexity manageable through automated decision-making.
