Keep-Alive Message Integration for Wireless Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Wireless communication devices face battery drain and bandwidth consumption due to the frequent and uncoordinated transmission of keep-alive messages from multiple applications, which requires continuous connectivity and reduces idle time.
Innovation Solution
The integration of keep-alive messages into a single composite message, delayed for transfer during a designated window, using techniques like pattern matching and deep packet inspection, reduces the need for continuous communication and optimizes bandwidth usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple applications concurrently transfer periodic keep-alive messages with distributed timing, then service maintenance for multiple applications is ensured, but battery life is reduced and bandwidth is consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple individual keep-alive messages from different applications into a single integrated keep-alive message. The wireless communication device combines these messages and transfers them together during a designated keep-alive transfer window, reducing the number of separate transmissions while ensuring all applications maintain their service connections.
2Reliability
If multiple applications concurrently transfer periodic keep-alive messages with distributed timing, then service maintenance for multiple applications is ensured, but bandwidth consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple individual keep-alive messages from different applications into a single integrated keep-alive message. The wireless communication device combines these messages and transfers them together during a designated keep-alive transfer window, reducing the number of separate transmissions while ensuring all applications maintain their service connections.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements periodic keep-alive message transfer by designating specific transfer windows at regular intervals. Instead of continuous or randomly distributed transmissions, the device consolidates multiple keep-alive messages and transfers them periodically during these designated windows, optimizing bandwidth usage while maintaining service connectivity.
3Reliability
If the device continuously transfers keep-alive messages, then service connectivity is maintained, but idle time is reduced and battery drains faster
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic keep-alive message transfer by designating specific transfer windows at regular intervals. Instead of continuous or randomly distributed transmissions, the device consolidates multiple keep-alive messages and transfers them periodically during these designated windows, optimizing bandwidth usage while maintaining service connectivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables the wireless communication device to autonomously manage keep-alive message transfers by identifying designated transfer windows and automatically consolidating and transmitting messages during these periods. The device self-regulates its communication activity to maximize idle time while ensuring service maintenance.
Data Source
AI summary
A wireless communication device that executes applications receives keep-alive messages including keep-alive data from the applications. The device processes the keep-alive data to select keep-alive messages for keep-alive message integration. The wireless communication device transfers integrated keep-alive data for the selected messages during a transfer window. A wireless communication system receives and processes the integrated keep-alive data to transfer individual keep-alive messages having the keep-alive data.
