Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication systems using flying objects face challenges in data packet relaying, particularly in polar regions, due to variable transmission pathways and satellite overload, which hinder efficient data transmission between terminal devices.
Innovation Solution
A method where flying objects or satellites are arranged in a grid structure with coordinated flight paths and orbits, allowing each object to communicate with neighbors and assign coordinate values for quick data packet routing, enabling efficient relaying through sequential single transmissions and cluster registration for reliable communication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If variable transmission pathways are used for data packet relaying, then coverage area is improved, but routing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by using coordinate values (routing parameters) that are directly derivable from data packet addresses. Instead of complex routing tables, the system changes the parameter representation to simple coordinates that can be extracted and used for straightforward path determination in variable transmission pathways.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical system of complex routing table lookups and path calculations with a mathematical substitution approach. Coordinate values are derived through mathematical operations on packet addresses, substituting the need for complex routing logic with simpler mathematical derivation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If longest prefix match method is used for target address determination, then routing flexibility is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the necessary coordinate information from packet addresses without performing complete prefix matching. By taking out just the essential routing coordinates embedded in the address structure, the system achieves routing flexibility without the time-consuming full prefix match process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-structuring addresses to contain derivable coordinate values that encode routing information in advance. This preliminary encoding allows receiving nodes to extract routing coordinates directly without performing complex real-time prefix matching operations.
3Reliability
If satellite constellations with multiple satellites are used, then coverage reliability is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the satellite constellation into modular units where each satellite operates with standardized coordinate-based routing. This segmentation allows multiple satellites to work together reliably while maintaining individual simplicity, reducing overall system complexity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements universality by creating a standardized coordinate derivation mechanism that works across all satellites in the constellation. This universal approach allows each satellite to perform the same routing function using the same coordinate extraction method, simplifying system complexity while maintaining coverage reliability through multiple satellites.

AI summary
A method provides packet transmission of data between two terminal devices via at least one flying object. The flying objects are moving within a given swarm of flying objects and the flying objects are disposed in a grid being characterized by a number of flight paths. One flying object from the swarm of the flying objects is determined to be a reference flying object and each of the flying objects is assigned a position. Coordinate values of a receiving flying object within the swarm of the flying objects is derived from a respective data packet being transmitted. A number of sequential single transmissions for a transmittal of data between a transmitting flying object and the receiving flying object is performed. Each single transmission within the swarm of the flying objects occurs only between two respective flying objects which are topologically neighboring and in direct communication with each other.
