Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current packet-oriented data transmission technologies face challenges in reducing transmission delays, packet loss, and interruptions, which negatively impact the quality of service in network communications, particularly in scenarios like VoIP and web surfing, due to high overhead and inefficient data handling.
Innovation Solution
The optimization method involves using optimizers to retain and generate data locally, compress headers, and apply forward error correction, while predicting interruption properties and dynamically adapting optimization mechanisms to improve data transmission efficiency and reliability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If packet-oriented data transmission is used with multiple protocol layers, then data transmission flexibility and compatibility are improved, but header overhead increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the protocol header into multiple fields and identifies which fields can be compressed based on their redundancy characteristics. Critical identification fields are separated from redundant fields, allowing selective compression that maintains protocol functionality while reducing overhead.
Solution Approach 2:
Different compression methods are applied to different header fields based on their specific characteristics. The patent applies stronger compression to highly redundant fields while maintaining less compression for critical identification fields, creating a differentiated compression strategy that optimizes overall efficiency.
2Adaptability or versatility
If standard packet transmission protocols are used, then protocol compatibility is maintained, but transmission delays and packet loss impact quality of service
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs error detection and correction calculations in advance during packet formation, rather than reacting to errors after they occur. Forward error correction codes are pre-computed and attached to packets, enabling the receiver to correct errors without requesting retransmission, thus maintaining reliability while preserving protocol compatibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates error correction capabilities and packet prioritization mechanisms that prepare the transmission system in advance for potential network issues. By pre-adding error correction codes and establishing quality of service parameters before transmission, the system cushions against packet loss and delays without requiring protocol changes.
3Device complexity
If data is transmitted without optimization, then network simplicity is maintained, but transmission efficiency and reliability are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service optimization where the transmission system automatically adjusts parameters such as packet size, error correction level, and flow control based on real-time network conditions. The system monitors its own performance metrics and adapts without external intervention, improving transmission efficiency while maintaining manageable complexity through automated decision-making.

AI summary
The invention relates to a method for optimizing data transmission between communication endpoints in a network, comprising the following steps: establishing a communication relationship or attempting to establish a communication relationship between a communication endpoint and another communication endpoint, wherein packet-oriented data transmission is provided for the communication relationship, in which a data stream comprising exchanged data packets is formed or is intended to be formed; providing an optimizer arrangement associated with the communication relationship, which is formed with at least one optimizer; and optimizing the packet-oriented data transmission between the communication endpoint and the other communication endpoint by means of the optimizer arrangement for the communication endpoint and/or the other communication endpoint, ensuring the continuation or improvement of the communication relationship.The invention simulates the establishment of a communication relationship during a transmission interruption, wherein, during the simulation, the transmission of data packets from the optimizer arrangement to the communication endpoint and/or further communication endpoints is continued or initiated. Furthermore, the invention relates to a computer program product with program code.
