Orchestration Device for Reliable Multicast Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Static network configurations fail to ensure reliable multicast delivery due to varying capabilities and mobility events among network devices and user devices, leading to compromised delivery of multicast datagrams.
Innovation Solution
An orchestration device dynamically configures network elements by monitoring their capabilities, resources, and events to optimize the reliable multicast service, allocating resources efficiently and modifying configurations as needed to maintain reliable delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If static network configuration is used, then device complexity is reduced, but reliability of multicast delivery deteriorates due to varying capabilities and mobility events
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic network configuration where the orchestration device continuously monitors network element capabilities, resource availability, and mobility events, then automatically adjusts multicast routing paths and resource allocations in real-time to maintain reliable delivery despite changing conditions
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs feedback mechanisms where network elements report their status, capabilities, and received multicast traffic to the orchestration device, which uses this information to optimize routing decisions and resource allocation, creating a closed-loop control system that adapts to maintain delivery reliability
2Reliability
If dynamic configuration is implemented to monitor capabilities and events, then reliability of multicast delivery is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The orchestration device serves as an intermediary between network elements and multicast sources, centralizing the complexity of monitoring and configuration management while allowing individual network elements to operate with simpler, standardized protocols for reporting and receiving configuration updates
3Productivity
If network elements are optimized for reliable delivery, then productivity of multicast service is improved, but loss of energy increases due to dynamic monitoring and configuration
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically changes operational parameters such as monitoring intervals, configuration update frequencies, and resource allocation levels based on network conditions, allowing optimization of multicast delivery performance while managing energy consumption by adjusting the intensity of monitoring and control activities
