Hybrid P2P Data Distribution Architecture for Telecommunications
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current peer-to-peer networks in telecommunications face inefficiencies due to significant traffic generation, redundancy, and inability to efficiently distribute real-time data, especially across inter-domain links, leading to processing delays and increased traffic on telecommunications networks.
Innovation Solution
A hybrid distribution architecture that utilizes a source node to collect data and distribute it via multicast techniques to leaf nodes within the same domain, reducing inter-domain traffic and enabling rapid, real-time data distribution while maintaining transparency for end customers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If peer-to-peer network is used for data distribution, then data can be shared between multiple clients, but significant traffic is generated on the telecommunications network due to redundancy of data chunks exchanged between different clients
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines peer-to-peer data exchange with bundled distribution techniques. Leaf nodes receive data from a source node via bundled distribution (reducing redundant traffic) while still enabling peer-to-peer sharing among clients. This merging allows data distribution to benefit from both approaches: the versatility of P2P sharing and the traffic efficiency of bundled distribution.
2Adaptability or versatility
If peer-to-peer network clients search for missing chunks to reconstruct dataset, then data can be obtained, but processing delay occurs before data is obtained
Solution Approach 1:
Leaf nodes receive complete or partial datasets in advance from the source node via bundled distribution before peer-to-peer exchange begins. This preliminary action ensures that data is already available at strategically positioned nodes, reducing the time clients need to search for and reconstruct missing chunks.
3Adaptability or versatility
If peer-to-peer network operates independently of underlying telecommunications network architecture, then network autonomy is maintained, but significant traffic is generated on inter-domain links
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces domain-awareness into the peer-to-peer network by having leaf nodes positioned within specific telecommunications network domains. Data distribution is optimized locally within domains through bundled distribution from source nodes to leaf nodes, reducing the need for inter-domain traffic while maintaining the peer-to-peer network's operational independence.
4Quantity of substance
If bundled distribution technique is used to distribute data to leaf nodes, then traffic on telecommunications network is reduced, but additional infrastructure components are required
Solution Approach 1:
Leaf nodes are designed with multi-functionality: they act as both peer-to-peer clients (able to share data with other clients) and as recipients of bundled distribution (able to receive data efficiently from source nodes). This universal design allows a single node type to fulfill multiple roles, reducing the need for separate infrastructure components while achieving traffic reduction.

AI summary
Method of communication performed by a communication device, termed a leaf node (6), of a telecommunications network (1), comprising: - a step of receiving data distributed by a source node (4) of the telecommunications network (1) by using a grouped broadcasting technique, characterized in that it comprises: - a step of dispatching, to a management entity (12) of a peer-to-peer network managing the broadcasting of said data on the peer-to-peer network, a message of registration as client of the peer-to-peer network; - and a step of transmission of the data received to at least one client (10) of the peer-to-peer network, by distribution on the peer-to-peer network.
