Solution Overview

Problem

In IoT environments, using multiple communication schemes can lead to a decrease in communication speed due to time division methods, resulting in slower round-trip times and potential bottlenecks that disrupt data transmission.

Innovation Solution

A method that acquires information on time durations for each communication scheme, compares the number of stored response messages to a threshold value, and adjusts the number of response messages to be transmitted using the first communication scheme based on this comparison to prevent slowdowns, ensuring smooth communication.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by predicting future communication requirements and pre-transmitting data during periods when the second communication scheme is active. The server predicts when the device will need data based on historical communication patterns, and sends data in advance during time slots when the device is using the second communication scheme, so that data is ready when the device switches back to the first communication scheme, thereby maintaining communication speed while using multiple schemes for miniaturization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamics by dynamically adjusting the time division allocation between first and second communication schemes based on real-time communication requirements and channel conditions. The system dynamically determines which communication scheme to use at each time slot, optimizing the balance between using multiple schemes for device miniaturization and maintaining adequate communication speed based on current data transmission needs.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by having the server predict and pre-transmit data before the device actually needs it. The server analyzes historical communication patterns to predict future data requirements, and sends data in advance during time slots when the device is occupied with the second communication scheme. This eliminates waiting time and reduces round-trip time while maintaining the simplified time-division multiplexing approach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the device sends communication status information and data requirements to the server, and the server uses this feedback to optimize the time division schedule. The server continuously monitors communication patterns and adjusts the allocation of time slots for first and second communication schemes based on actual performance and changing requirements, thereby reducing round-trip time while maintaining device simplicity.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by predicting communication bottlenecks before they occur and pre-transmitting data during periods when the device is using the second communication scheme. The server analyzes historical communication patterns to identify potential bottlenecks and proactively sends data in advance, ensuring data transmission reliability while maintaining the versatility of using multiple communication schemes for different应用场景.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where communication status, data transmission success rates, and bottleneck occurrences are continuously monitored and fed back to the server. The server uses this feedback to adjust the time division schedule and resource allocation, improving communication reliability while preserving the versatility benefits of multiple communication schemes. The feedback loop enables adaptive optimization of the multi-scheme communication system.
