Mesh Network Flow Ranking by Device Priority and Flow Amount
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In mesh network systems, the lack of defined priorities for data flows leads to decreased network transmission efficiency as data flows are not transmitted according to their respective priorities.
Innovation Solution
A mesh network system with a portal network device that manages computing devices, detects and ranks outward and inward data flows based on device priority information and relative flow amount information, generating priority ranking information to guide data flow transmission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If data flows are transmitted without priority definition in mesh network, then the system is simple to operate, but the network transmission efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a portal network device as an intermediary that centrally manages priority ranking for data flows. This mediator collects device priority information and flow amount information, performs the ranking calculations, and distributes the priority rankings to mesh network devices, thereby improving transmission efficiency without requiring complex priority management at each network device
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-establishing device priority information and pre-calculating priority rankings for data flows before actual transmission. The portal network device determines priority rankings in advance based on device priorities and flow amounts, so that when data flows are transmitted, the mesh network devices can simply follow the pre-determined priorities without real-time decision complexity
2Productivity
If priority ranking mechanism is implemented for data flows, then transmission efficiency increases, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the priority management function by separating the complex priority ranking calculation from the data transmission function. The portal network device handles the complex segmentation of priority determination based on device priority information and flow amount information, while mesh network devices handle only the simpler task of transmitting data according to received priority rankings
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables self-service by allowing the portal network device to automatically collect device priority information and flow amount information, perform the priority ranking calculations, and distribute rankings without manual intervention. The system self-manages the complexity of priority ranking while providing simple priority-based transmission to network devices
