Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current heterogeneous networks face challenges with data transmission delays and increased load on data concentrators as the number of access devices grows, making expansion inconvenient and inefficient.
Innovation Solution
A heterogeneous link data translation and distribution method that uses a routing table to query routing and protocol information for data translation and distribution, allowing for concurrent data transmission and easy expansion by directing data to specific devices based on their protocols, and optimizing data distribution with a weight table to manage bandwidth and waiting times.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a data concentrator is used to convert all data from heterogeneous links, then data transmission between devices can be achieved, but data transmission delay increases and data concentrator load increases greatly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the centralized data concentrator into multiple distributed translation devices. Each translation device handles protocol conversion for specific device pairs directly, dividing the monolithic conversion function into distributed units. This segmentation reduces the processing burden on any single device and enables parallel translation operations, thereby reducing overall data transmission delay while maintaining reliable heterogeneous data transmission.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces routing tables as intermediary structures that enable direct peer-to-peer translation between devices. Instead of all data passing through a central concentrator, the routing table acts as an intermediary that directs data flows and enables selective direct translation paths. This intermediary mechanism maintains the ability to handle heterogeneous protocols while bypassing the centralized bottleneck, reducing transmission delay.
2Reliability
If a data concentrator is used to convert all data from heterogeneous links, then data transmission between devices can be achieved, but data concentrator load increases greatly with increasing number of access devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the centralized conversion function into multiple distributed translation devices, each handling specific protocol conversion tasks. This segmentation distributes the processing load across multiple nodes, preventing any single device from becoming a bottleneck. As the number of access devices increases, the load is automatically distributed to available translation devices, maintaining processing capacity and avoiding overload.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a centralized one-dimensional architecture to a distributed multi-dimensional architecture. By introducing spatial distribution of translation devices and utilizing routing tables for intelligent path selection, the system adds dimensional complexity that enables load balancing and parallel processing. This dimensional change allows the system to scale horizontally, accommodating increasing numbers of access devices without overloading any single component.
3Reliability
If a data concentrator is used to convert all data from heterogeneous links, then data transmission between devices can be achieved, but expansion of devices and data becomes inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal routing table structure that can accommodate multiple device types, protocols, and configurations. The routing table serves multiple functions: path selection, protocol identification, and translation device routing. This universal structure enables easy system expansion, as new devices and protocols can be integrated by adding corresponding routing entries without redesigning the overall architecture. The system becomes more adaptable and versatile, accommodating heterogeneous expansion conveniently.
