Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In heterogeneous network environments, current methods for data service access are passive and lack service provider control, leading to inefficient network resource utilization and increased costs due to high network load and potential service instability.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for a heterogeneous network-based simultaneous data transmission service that divides data into partial components and transmits them across different networks based on selected transmission rates, allowing for dynamic adjustment of data transmission paths to optimize network usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If data is transmitted through a single network, then the transmission path is simple, but the data transmission speed is limited by that single network's capacity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides data into multiple packets and transmits them through different networks simultaneously. The transmission device segments outgoing data into multiple packets, assigning each packet to a different network path, while the reception device reassembles them in the correct order. This segmentation enables parallel transmission across heterogeneous networks, significantly increasing overall data transmission speed without requiring a single high-capacity network.
2Ease of operation
If the terminal device autonomously selects access networks, then the ease of operation is improved, but the service provider loses control over network resource allocation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a service provider server as an intermediary that manages network selection and data routing. The terminal device sends data to the server, which then distributes data packets across multiple networks based on current network conditions, device capabilities, and service requirements. This intermediary approach maintains service provider control over resource allocation while enabling adaptive, multi-network transmission that optimizes performance.
3Productivity
If data is transmitted through multiple networks simultaneously, then the data transmission speed increases, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service mechanisms where the reception device automatically handles packet reassembly and ordering without requiring complex coordination from the transmission device. The reception device maintains reception buffers and uses sequence information embedded in packets to automatically reassemble data in the correct order, even when packets arrive out of sequence from different networks. This reduces the complexity burden on transmission devices while maintaining high transmission efficiency.
4Quantity of substance
If network load increases due to various wireless devices, then the quantity of service is improved, but the network stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs dynamic network selection and load distribution mechanisms that adapt to changing network conditions. The service provider server continuously monitors network status and dynamically adjusts data routing decisions, selecting optimal networks based on current load, bandwidth availability, and transmission requirements. This dynamic approach allows the system to handle increasing numbers of connected devices while maintaining service stability by automatically balancing load across available networks.
