Peer-to-Peer Optical Fiber Communication Host Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The high cost of optical fiber communication systems due to the need for a coordinated control unit for scheduling data transmission and reception in peer-to-peer systems.
Innovation Solution
A method for controlling data transmission and reception in peer-to-peer communication systems, where a communication host controls a controlled electrical connection path to manage data transmission modes between communication units, eliminating the need for an additional hardware control unit by initializing each unit in a data receiving state and dynamically switching between output and receiving modes based on communication status.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a coordinated control unit is added to schedule data transmission and reception in peer-to-peer optical fiber communication systems, then data transmission and reception can be well-scheduled, but system cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the control function from a separate coordinated control unit and integrates it into the existing communication units. Each communication unit independently controls its own data transmission and reception timing based on received control signals, eliminating the need for an additional centralized control device and reducing system cost while maintaining reliable scheduling.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication units perform self-scheduling by autonomously controlling their own transmission and reception operations based on control signals exchanged between them. The host unit determines transmission timing and notifies the slave unit, which then autonomously schedules its reception and transmission operations without external coordination, achieving self-service scheduling.
2Reliability
If optical fiber interface is used to connect optical fibers to communication units, then optical fiber communication signals can be transmitted, but system cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The communication units are designed with multi-functional capabilities that include both electrical signal processing and optical signal interface functions. The same communication unit that processes electrical data signals also handles optical fiber interface operations, eliminating the need for separate dedicated optical interface devices and reducing overall system cost while maintaining reliable optical signal transmission.

AI summary
A method for controlling data transmission and reception and an application system thereof are provided. In the method, the peer-to-peer communication system is initialized to set each communication unit in the peer-to-peer communication system to be in a data receiving state. A communication host controls, according to a communication status of the peer-to-peer communication system, a controlled electrical connection path between the communication host and a communication interface to the communication transmission path, to work in a mode allowing data transmission from the communication slave to a communication host side of the controlled electrical connection path, or a mode allowing data transmission from the communication host side of the controlled electrical connection path to the communication slave.
