Intermediate Communication Apparatus Synchronization Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In conventional multi-layer networking architectures, intermediate communication apparatuses lose synchronization with upstream communication apparatuses due to frequency drift, leading to out-of-synchronization issues, which cause downstream communication apparatuses to lose control as they continuously search for re-synchronization.
Innovation Solution
The intermediate communication apparatus obtains synchronization information to adjust parameters during communication with the downstream apparatus, allowing it to search for and communicate with the upstream apparatus, thereby maintaining synchronization with both ends and preventing downstream control loss.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the intermediate communication apparatus continuously searches for the upstream communication apparatus to resynchronize, then the synchronization reliability with the upstream apparatus is improved, but the control stability of the downstream communication apparatus deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the communication apparatus into three distinct levels: upstream communication apparatus, intermediate communication apparatus, and downstream communication apparatus. Each segment operates with specific synchronization responsibilities, allowing the intermediate apparatus to independently adjust its search behavior without affecting downstream control stability. This segmentation enables localized problem-solving at the intermediate level while preserving overall system stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements periodic search actions instead of continuous searching. The intermediate communication apparatus performs synchronization searches at predetermined intervals rather than continuously, which reduces disruption to downstream communication. This periodic approach maintains upstream synchronization reliability while minimizing interference with downstream control operations.
2Measurement precision
If the intermediate communication apparatus performs continuous search for upstream communication apparatus, then the frequency synchronization accuracy is improved, but the communication continuity with downstream apparatus deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs periodic search intervals to balance frequency synchronization accuracy with communication continuity. By conducting searches at predetermined intervals rather than continuously, the system maintains adequate frequency synchronization while ensuring uninterrupted communication with downstream apparatus. The periodic approach allows communication to proceed normally between search cycles.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs synchronization searches in advance at predetermined intervals before complete desynchronization occurs. This preliminary action prevents severe frequency drift that would disrupt downstream communication, while the intermittent nature of these preliminary searches maintains communication continuity during normal operation.
3Measurement precision
If the intermediate communication apparatus adjusts parameters frequently to maintain synchronization, then the synchronization precision is improved, but the system stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent adjusts synchronization parameters periodically at predetermined intervals rather than frequently or continuously. This periodic adjustment maintains adequate synchronization precision while avoiding excessive parameter changes that would destabilize the system. The regular interval provides predictability and stability to the overall system operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent carefully controls parameter changes by implementing them only at predetermined intervals and only when necessary for synchronization. This controlled approach to parameter changes maintains synchronization precision while preventing excessive or erratic adjustments that would compromise system stability. The method balances parameter adjustment with system stability through regulated change frequency.

AI summary
An out-of-synchronization processing method implemented in an intermediate communication apparatus includes obtaining synchronization information for synchronizing with a downstream communication apparatus, and performing a search for an upstream communication apparatus and a communication with the downstream communication apparatus. A parameter is adjusted according to the synchronization information during the communication with the downstream communication apparatus.
