MINT Protocol Rendezvous Node Multicast State Management

The patent introduces a structured group management mechanism with designated roles (such as a coordinator or manager node) that acts as an intermediary between information sources and group members. This mediator maintains group state information, manages member joins and leaves, and ensures reliable delivery by tracking active receivers and coordinating data distribution, thereby resolving the contradiction between reliability and complexity.

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where group members report their status (joining or leaving the group), and this information is fed back to the group management structure. The management system uses this feedback to update group state, adjust routing decisions, and ensure information is delivered only to active members, achieving reliable delivery through continuous monitoring and adaptation.

The patent enables group members to autonomously manage their own joining and leaving processes by sending join/leave notifications to the group management structure. The system automatically updates group state, reconfigures routing paths, and adjusts data distribution without requiring manual intervention, thereby achieving dynamic adaptability while managing complexity through automated self-service mechanisms.

The patent implements a dynamic group management system that continuously adapts to changing member configurations. The delivery mechanism dynamically updates routing tables and data paths in response to member joins and leaves, allowing the system to maintain optimal performance despite dynamic changes, thus resolving the contradiction between adaptability and complexity.

The patent applies local quality by differentiating the treatment of different group members based on their activity status. The system identifies active receivers versus inactive members and directs information only to active members, optimizing data distribution locally at each network node. This selective delivery maintains complete coverage for active members while reducing unnecessary transmissions to inactive members, thereby decreasing network congestion.

The patent implements partial action by delivering information only to the necessary subset of active group members rather than all registered members. The group management mechanism maintains accurate lists of active receivers and directs data only to them, avoiding excessive action toward inactive members. This partial delivery approach ensures reliable coverage for active members while minimizing network congestion caused by unnecessary transmissions.
