Mobile Accelerator System Optimizing Data Transfer via Dynamic POP Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mobile data networks often have limited capacity, leading to suboptimal data transfer rates that hinder performance in applications like high-speed internet browsing, video streaming, and gaming, necessitating improvements in networked content delivery for mobile devices.
Innovation Solution
A mobile accelerator system with multiple interconnected Point of Presences (POPs) that enables mobile devices to determine an optimal entry POP, create a dedicated transport channel, and dynamically route data transfers through a dynamic path optimized for synthetic latency and connection quality, potentially using a direct connection or traversing the POPs for enhanced performance.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If conventional mobile data networks are used, then network coverage is available, but data transfer rates are limited and suboptimal
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a mobile accelerator system as an intermediary between the mobile device and content servers. This accelerator system includes multiple POPs that act as mediator nodes to optimize data transfer paths, thereby improving data transfer rates without sacrificing network reliability or coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic path selection where the mobile device can determine the optimal entry POP from multiple available POPs based on current network conditions. The system dynamically adjusts the data transfer path by selecting different POPs and routing options, enabling adaptive optimization of data transfer rates while maintaining reliable connectivity.
2Speed
If a dedicated transport channel is created through multiple POPs, then data transfer speed is enhanced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent establishes dedicated transport channels and determines optimal POPs in advance before actual data transfer occurs. The mobile device pre-determines the entry POP and sets up the routing path, which simplifies the actual data transfer process while maintaining high speed performance.
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile device autonomously determines the optimal entry POP from the multiple available POPs based on its own performance measurements and criteria. This self-service approach allows the device to manage its own connectivity optimization without requiring complex centralized control, thereby reducing overall system complexity while achieving high data transfer speeds.

AI summary
Techniques for providing mobile device content delivery acceleration are discussed herein. Some embodiments may provide for a system including a mobile device and a mobile accelerator system. The mobile accelerator system may include point of presences (“POPs”) configured to facilitate accelerated content delivery to the mobile device from a content server. For example, the mobile device may be configured to: determine an entry POP from POPs of a mobile accelerator system; and create a dedicated transport channel with the entry POP. The entry POP of the mobile accelerator system may be configured to: receive a query to a content server from the mobile device via the dedicated transport channel; determine at least a portion a dynamic path between the mobile device and the content server; and route data transfers between the mobile device and the content server through the at least a portion of the dynamic path.
