Multi-Network Data Partitioning Relay for Load Balancing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication systems in multi-network environments face limitations in providing smooth data services, especially when large amounts of data are transmitted or received, and are inadequate for supporting various wireless devices like smartphones and tablets, as they typically rely on a single network for data transmission, leading to increased load rates and inefficient data handling.
Innovation Solution
A relay system and terminal equipment configuration that enables simultaneous data transmission across multiple networks, including 3G and WiFi, by partitioning data and transmitting it through each network, allowing for dynamic adjustment of data transmission rates and network handovers to maintain effective coverage and performance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single network is selected from multiple networks to transmit data, then the network selection and management is simple, but the load rate of the selected network abruptly increases when large amounts of data are transmitted, leading to service degradation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments data transmission across multiple networks (e.g., 3G and WiFi) simultaneously, dividing the data stream into portions that are transmitted through different network interfaces. This segmentation prevents any single network from becoming overloaded while maintaining transmission reliability, directly resolving the contradiction between simple network management and reliable data transmission.
2Device complexity
If a single network is used for data transmission, then the system configuration is simple, but the system is inappropriate for supporting various wireless devices and large-scale data services
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements multi-functionality by enabling the terminal equipment to simultaneously utilize multiple network interfaces (3G, WiFi, etc.) for data transmission. This universal approach allows the system to adapt to various wireless devices and support large-scale data services while maintaining manageable system configuration through unified control mechanisms.
3Productivity
If data is transmitted through multiple networks simultaneously, then the data transmission capacity and service smoothness are improved, but the data transmission system becomes more complex requiring partitioning and coordination across networks
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism (network selection and data partitioning unit) that coordinates data transmission across multiple networks. This intermediary manages the complexity of simultaneous multi-network transmission by intelligently partitioning data streams and controlling transmission parameters, thereby improving data transmission capacity while keeping the system complexity manageable through centralized control.
