Hybrid Resource Sharing in Wireless Independent Networks
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional resource-sharing methods in wireless independent networks are inefficient and unable to effectively support real-time AV streaming services, as they are based on non-real-time services and have an inflexible structure, leading to resource inefficiencies and loading concentration on control stations.
Innovation Solution
A method for sharing hybrid resources that dynamically switches between distributed coordination and centralized control methods based on the type of data being transmitted, using a transmission data checking unit to determine if data is related to real-time services and adjusting the resource-sharing control accordingly, with a data format that includes control authority requests and releases to manage resource allocation efficiently.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a distributed coordination method is used for resource sharing, then stations can freely subscribe and withdraw from the network, but resource efficiency is poor and real-time AV streaming services cannot be supported
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic resource sharing method that automatically switches between distributed coordination mode and centralized control mode based on the service type. For real-time AV streaming services, the system transitions to centralized control to guarantee quality of service, while for non-real-time services, it maintains distributed coordination for flexibility. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction by allowing the system to optimize for resource efficiency when needed while preserving subscription freedom when appropriate.
2Productivity
If a centralized control method is used for resource sharing, then resource efficiency is improved and real-time services are supported, but loading concentrates on the control station
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the control functionality by dividing service types into different control domains. Real-time AV streaming services are handled by the centralized control station which segments and prioritizes these time-critical transmissions, while non-real-time services are delegated to distributed coordination among stations. This segmentation prevents loading concentration by distributing different service types to appropriate control mechanisms, reducing the burden on the centralized control station.
3Ease of manufacture
If conventional resource-sharing methods are used, then the system is simple to implement, but it cannot effectively support real-time AV streaming services
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal resource sharing framework that can handle multiple service types (both real-time and non-real-time AV streaming) through a single integrated system. The system universally supports both distributed coordination and centralized control modes, automatically selecting the appropriate mode based on service requirements. This multi-functionality maintains implementation simplicity while reliably supporting real-time services through centralized control when needed.

AI summary
In a system for sharing hybrid resources in an independent network, each one of a plurality of stations preferably employs a sharing authority transferring protocol that allows the network control function to be moved from station to station depending on the network traffic. Although a distributed coordination method is normally used in the network, when an individual station determines that a real-time data stream is intended for the station, an apparatus having a method and data format for the use thereof allows control to be transferred to the targeted station. This allows the targeted station to control the sharing of the wireless hybrid resources using a centralized control method in a direct mode for the duration of the real-time service transmission, thereby optimizing network efficiency. As a result of using the distributed control authority of the present invention, a station may be freely subscribe/withdraw to/from the network.
