Solution Overview

Problem

The throughput and transmission efficiency of P2P service data are reduced due to increased transmission delay when electronic devices perform both P2P and Wi-Fi services on different channels, leading to a diminished user experience.

Innovation Solution

The method involves transmitting P2P service data on both the operating and sleep slots of the P2P service using different channels, allowing for time-division multiplexing to increase the time length for data transmission, thereby improving throughput and reducing delay.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the electronic device transmits P2P service data only during the operating slot of the P2P service, then the channel resources are properly managed, but the transmission time is insufficient leading to low throughput and high transmission delay

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethroughput of P2P service dataVSAvoidtransmission delay of P2P service data
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extends P2P service data transmission from only the operating slot to include both the operating slot and the sleep slot of the P2P service. This continuous transmission approach ensures that the wireless communication resource is fully utilized throughout the entire service period, thereby increasing the throughput and reducing the transmission delay of P2P service data while maintaining proper channel resource management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

2Productivity

If the electronic device transmits P2P service data during both operating and sleep slots, then the transmission time is increased improving throughput, but the channel resource management becomes complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission efficiency of P2P service dataVSAvoidchannel resource management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes the periodic structure of Wi-Fi service slots (operating slots and sleep slots) to transmit P2P service data. By aligning the transmission schedule with the periodic slot structure, the system achieves efficient resource management while maximizing transmission opportunities. The periodic nature of slot allocation simplifies the management complexity compared to arbitrary transmission scheduling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

AI summary

A first electronic device transmits P2P service data on a first channel within a first time period, and further transmits the P2P service data on a second channel within a second time period. In other words, the first electronic device separately transmits the P2P service data on different channels in an operating time period of a P2P service (for example, an operating slot of the P2P service) and a sleep time period of the P2P service (for example, a sleep slot of the P2P service). In this way, a time length for transmitting the P2P service data is increased, to increase a throughput of the P2P service data and reduce a transmission delay of the P2P service data, thereby improving transmission efficiency of the P2P service data and improving user experience.
