Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Data traffic congestion between network devices and client devices in electronic communication systems leads to connectivity issues, underprovisioning of resources, and potential network collapse, with existing solutions failing to effectively address RX data traffic congestion at network devices.

Innovation Solution

An algorithm is generated to identify and resolve communication connection issues by monitoring data traffic, determining if data packets are being sent and received, and implementing deauthentication of client devices from network devices when congestion occurs, with the option to reconnect or switch to different network devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If data traffic monitoring and deauthentication algorithm is implemented, then network reliability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenetwork reliabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The network device autonomously monitors its own data traffic conditions and automatically executes deauthentication when congestion is detected, without requiring external intervention or complex manual management systems

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors data traffic between network devices and client devices, uses this feedback to detect congestion conditions, and adjusts connection status accordingly through automated deauthentication and reconnection logic

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If continuous data traffic monitoring is performed, then connectivity issues are detected earlier, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveconnectivity detectionVSAvoidenergy consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs data traffic monitoring at periodic intervals rather than continuously, checking for congestion conditions at defined time intervals while maintaining network reliability through timely detection and response

Inventive Principle:

Principle #19Periodic action

AI summary

In a computer network, communication connections may be established between client devices and network devices. An algorithm may be generated and used as a method to identify and resolve issues with Uplink communications between client devices and network devices. When an issue with an Uplink communication is identified, a total number of issues with the communication may be determined. Determining that the total number of issues with a communication is greater than a threshold, the client device associated with the communication may be deauthenticated from the respective network device. After a client device is deauthenticated from a network device, the total number of deauthentications may be determined with the network device. Determining the total number of deauthentications with a network device is greater than a threshold, the radio of the network device may be disabled to deauthenticate all connected client devices. Solutions may be implemented according to the issues identified.
