Network Subscriber Bus Interface Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data networks face complexity in managing different operating parameters across various portions, such as transmission rates, leading to potential congestion and disturbances when integrating different bus configurations within the same network.
Innovation Solution
A method where a network subscriber acts as an interface between a superordinate and subordinate bus, receiving and extracting data messages to transmit them across buses with different configurations, allowing decoupling of data traffic and enabling operation with varying parameters without interference.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If data networks use different operating parameters in different portions (e.g., different transmission rates), then network adaptability is improved, but network complexity increases due to complex network planning requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The network is segmented into a superordinate network and subordinate networks with different operating parameters. The network subscriber acts as an interface that separates and manages traffic between these segments, allowing each segment to operate independently with optimized parameters without requiring complex end-to-end planning.
Solution Approach 2:
The network subscriber serves as an intermediary between the superordinate and subordinate networks. It receives data messages from the superordinate network, extracts relevant data, and transmits them to the subordinate network, thereby mediating the interaction between networks with different operating parameters and simplifying the overall network planning.
2Reliability
If complex network planning is implemented to manage different operating parameters, then network reliability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The network subscriber autonomously performs the functions of receiving, extracting, and forwarding data messages between networks with different operating parameters. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for complex external network planning and management, thereby improving ease of operation while maintaining reliability through automated traffic management.
3Adaptability or versatility
If data messages are routed through all network subscribers, then network universality is improved, but productivity decreases due to potential congestion and disturbances
Solution Approach 1:
The network subscriber extracts only the necessary data from received data messages and forwards them to the appropriate subordinate network. This extraction mechanism prevents unnecessary data from being routed through all network subscribers, thereby reducing congestion and improving data transmission efficiency while maintaining network universality.
Data Source
AI summary
A method for operating a network that has a network subscriber that is connected to a superordinate bus and to a subordinate bus comprises steps for the reception of a first superordinate data message by the network subscriber via the superordinate bus, the extraction of first data from the first superordinate data message by the network subscriber and for the transmission of a first subordinate data message by the network subscriber via the subordinate bus. In one case, the first subordinate data message comprises the first data.
