Dynamic Gateway Data Prioritization for High-Bandwidth Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In fixed wireless systems, devices requiring higher network bandwidth, such as televisions displaying 4K quality video, experience poor performance due to contention for network resources with other devices.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for distributing data to devices using data distribution rules that prioritize higher bandwidth to critical devices by analyzing device capabilities and network conditions, dynamically updating rules to ensure reliable performance without increasing local gateway processing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If network resources are shared equally among all devices, then resource allocation is simple and fair, but devices requiring higher bandwidth (such as 4K televisions) experience poor performance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different data distribution rules to different devices based on their specific needs. High-priority devices like 4K televisions receive differentiated treatment with guaranteed bandwidth allocation, while other devices use standard distribution rules. This resolves the contradiction by providing tailored resource allocation that ensures reliable performance for bandwidth-intensive devices without requiring complete restructuring of the entire network system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics through dynamic data distribution rules that can be updated based on changing network conditions and device requirements. The system monitors device performance and adjusts distribution rules in real-time, allowing high-priority devices to receive additional bandwidth when needed while maintaining system simplicity during stable conditions. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction between reliability and complexity by introducing complexity only when performance degradation is detected.
2Reliability
If data distribution rules are dynamically updated based on device capabilities, then performance of critical devices is enhanced, but processing requirements at the local gateway increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring data distribution rules based on device capabilities and priority levels before performance issues arise. The system analyzes device characteristics during initial connection and establishes appropriate distribution rules in advance, avoiding the need for continuous real-time analysis and rule regeneration. This resolves the contradiction by performing processing work beforehand rather than continuously, reducing ongoing gateway resource consumption while maintaining reliable device performance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms that monitor device performance and trigger rule updates only when necessary. The system continuously receives performance data from devices and compares it against thresholds, updating distribution rules only when performance degradation is detected. This feedback-driven approach resolves the contradiction by minimizing unnecessary processing at the gateway while ensuring that performance issues are addressed promptly through targeted rule adjustments.

AI summary
A computerized method distributes data to devices associated with a local gateway using data distribution rules. Device data that identifies a first device and a second device of a local gateway is obtained and it is determined that the first device is a higher priority device using that device data. A data distribution rule is determined that prioritizes distribution of response data to the first device and that data distribution rule is assigned to a data plan profile associated with the local gateway. A first data request is received from the first device and a second data request is received from the second device. Response data is sent to the local gateway according to the data distribution rule, wherein response data to the first data request sent to the first device via the local gateway is prioritized over response data to the second data request sent to the second device.
