Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication standards for Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) packet transmission are difficult to apply across heterogeneous wireless technologies, such as Bluetooth and infrared, due to the lack of a unified standard for transmission algorithms.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If existing IPv6 communication standards are applied, then transmission can be achieved, but they cannot be universally applied across heterogeneous wireless technologies
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal transmission algorithm that can handle IPv6 packets across different wireless technologies (OWC, Bluetooth, infrared, etc.) through a unified approach. The adaptation layer serves as a multi-functional interface that translates various wireless technologies into a common IPv6 transmission format, eliminating the need for separate algorithms for each technology.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a unified transmission algorithm is created for heterogeneous wireless technologies, then adaptability improves, but the algorithm complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the IPv6 transmission process into distinct functional layers: a universal transmission algorithm layer that handles cross-technology compatibility, and technology-specific adaptation layers that handle the particulars of each wireless technology. This segmentation allows the complex unified algorithm to be broken down into manageable, modular components that can be independently implemented and maintained.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an adaptation layer as an intermediary between the universal transmission algorithm and the various wireless technology interfaces. This intermediary translates and adapts data between the unified algorithm and technology-specific protocols, managing the complexity by providing a standardized interface that shields the upper layers from technology-specific variations.
3Use of energy by moving object
If IEEE 802.15.4 standard is used, then low-power sensor network communication is achieved, but it cannot serve as a standard for other wireless technologies
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal transmission algorithm that can serve multiple wireless technologies including but not limited to IEEE 802.15.4. The adaptation layer provides multi-functionality by supporting different wireless standards while maintaining a common IPv6 transmission interface, allowing the same algorithm to be applied across OWC, Bluetooth, infrared, and other technologies.

AI summary
A method of transmitting an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) packet based on an optical wireless technology, and a device for performing the same are provided. A method of transmitting an IPv6 packet based on an optical wireless communication (OWC) technology in an OWC device includes receiving an IPV6 packet through an OWC link layer, and transmitting the IPV6 packet through an adaptation layer for IPV6 over OWC. An interface identifier (IID) included in an IPV6 link local address of the OWC device may be constructed using an algorithm that generates a random identifier (RID).
