Telecommunication Interface Throughput Management for Stream Continuity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data transmission methods in telecommunications systems fail to optimally manage bandwidth during temporary interface disturbances, leading to potential stream interruptions due to latency and unsuitable throughput rate adjustments.
Innovation Solution
A method that compares the maximum interface throughput rate with a cumulative stream throughput rate value, adjusts the stream throughput rate by assigning the lowest value between the setting value and the current rate, and includes steps for reducing non-priority stream rates and switching streams to other interfaces to manage bandwidth dynamically.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the slow algorithm is used to find a new optimum distribution of streams during interface disturbance, then the stream distribution is optimized, but the latency period increases causing stream interruptions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by having the fast algorithm continuously monitor interface throughput rates and proactively adjust stream distribution before complete interface failure occurs. The system detects degradation trends and preemptively redistributes streams to maintain continuity, avoiding the need to wait for total interface loss before taking corrective action.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies dynamics by implementing a hybrid algorithm that dynamically switches between fast and slow modes based on real-time interface conditions. The system adapts its response speed according to the severity and duration of interface disturbances, using fast algorithm for immediate responses and slow algorithm for optimization, thereby balancing latency and reliability requirements.
2Reliability
If the fast algorithm is used for immediate stream rerouting, then stream continuity is maintained, but the stream distribution is not optimally optimized
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic algorithm that adapts its behavior based on interface conditions. The fast algorithm is activated for immediate rerouting when interface failure is detected, while the slow algorithm is invoked for optimization when conditions permit. This dynamic switching allows the system to prioritize continuity during critical events while achieving optimal distribution during stable periods.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies periodic action by implementing cyclic monitoring and adjustment of stream distribution. The system periodically evaluates interface throughput rates and alternates between fast and slow algorithms in a rhythmic pattern of immediate response followed by optimization cycles, maintaining both continuity and efficiency through regular periodic adjustments.
3Reliability
If the throughput rate is reduced to manage interface congestion, then the interface capacity is preserved, but the data transmission speed decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by implementing differentiated throughput rate management for different stream types and interfaces. The system adjusts bandwidth allocation locally based on stream priority, interface conditions, and traffic patterns, allowing critical streams to maintain higher rates while reducing rates for non-critical streams, thereby preserving overall interface capacity without uniformly degrading transmission speed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by dynamically modifying throughput rate parameters based on real-time interface conditions. The system changes bandwidth allocation parameters in response to detected congestion, interface degradation, or capacity constraints, adjusting the throughput rate parameter adaptively to balance interface capacity preservation with acceptable data transmission speeds.

AI summary
A method is provided for transmission within a telecommunication system, which includes a plurality of terminals that can exchange data flows therebetween. The method includes at least: a step of comparing a maximum throughput value offered by an interface with a cumulative value of the throughputs of flows that are intended to pass through the interface; and a step of adjusting the throughput of a particular flow following transmission of an adjustment value to a flow-emitting entity, which is executed when the maximum value is less than the cumulative value. The method enables a given terminal to adjust the throughput of a flow even when the flow is generated by a remote terminal.
