Packet Reception Delay Monitoring for Adaptive Network Boosting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices struggle with inefficient packet transmission due to insensitive network speed monitoring, leading to power waste, packet drops, and delayed reception, as they rely on large time intervals for measurement and lack precise reference values for boosting operations.
Innovation Solution
The electronic device measures delay times for each network processing step, calculates average delay times, and adjusts network performance through boosting operations only when necessary, based on actual packet processing speeds, to ensure sufficient reception.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If the electronic device monitors network packet transmission at a large time interval of 1 second, then the monitoring process is simple and power consumption is low, but the device cannot quickly handle network speed variations and experiences packet drops
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic monitoring interval adjustment based on network conditions. The processor switches between first monitoring intervals (shorter) and second monitoring intervals (longer) depending on whether packet reception speed meets a reference threshold. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction by using shorter intervals only when necessary to maintain high packet reception speed, thereby reducing overall power consumption while preventing packet drops during critical periods
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the monitoring parameter (time interval) based on network performance conditions. When packet reception speed is sufficient, the system transitions to longer monitoring intervals to reduce power consumption. When speed becomes insufficient, it switches to shorter intervals to maintain performance. This parameter adjustment strategy resolves the contradiction between speed and energy consumption
2Speed
If the electronic device executes boosting operation for packet transmission in all intervals, then packet reception speed is maintained, but unnecessary power consumption occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial boosting action only when necessary. Instead of continuously executing boosting operations in all intervals, the system monitors packet reception speed and executes boosting only when the speed falls below the reference threshold. This partial action maintains adequate packet reception speed while avoiding unnecessary power consumption during periods when performance is already sufficient
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the processor continuously monitors packet reception speed and compares it against a reference threshold. Based on this feedback, the system dynamically decides whether to execute boosting operations. This feedback-controlled approach ensures boosting is applied only when needed to maintain performance, resolving the contradiction between speed maintenance and power consumption
3Measurement precision
If the electronic device determines packet reception situation based on only one factor called packet reception speed, then the determination process is simple, but the device cannot precisely identify the cause of packet delay or drop
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the packet reception process into multiple monitoring dimensions: packet reception speed, packet delay time, and transmission interval. By dividing the monitoring task into these distinct segments, the system can precisely identify which specific factor is causing performance issues without overwhelming complexity. Each segment can be independently analyzed and addressed
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds another dimension to packet reception monitoring by introducing delay time measurement alongside speed monitoring. This dimensional expansion allows the system to distinguish between slow reception speed and excessive delay, providing more precise diagnosis of network issues while maintaining manageable system complexity through structured multi-dimensional analysis

AI summary
An electronic device according to various embodiments may include a memory storing a table containing a delay time in a process of receiving a network packet and an operation corresponding to the delay time, and a processor operatively connected to the memory. The memory may store instructions, which upon execution, control the processor to measure a delay time for each step based on a time when the network packet reaches each network processing step in the process of receiving the network packet, calculate an average delay time by accumulating a given number of network packets for each step, determine whether network performance of the electronic device is sufficient for receiving the network packet by comparing, with a pre-configured first time, the average delay time calculated by accumulating the network packets, and improve the network performance of the electronic device so that the network performance is sufficient for receiving the network packet based on the network performance of the electronic device being determined to be insufficient.
