Solution Overview

Problem

Data packet loss during transmission can lead to inefficiencies in network resources and wasted transmission, as unlost data packets may continue to be transmitted, affecting the availability of other packets in the group.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a target data detection rule and processing rule to identify data packets belonging to a target group, determining if they exceed a data packet loss threshold, and stopping the transmission of packets in the to-be-discarded group to optimize network transmission.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If data packet transmission continues without detection of packet loss, then network transmission simplicity is maintained, but network resources are wasted and transmission efficiency is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork transmission efficiencyVSAvoidnetwork resource waste
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary detection of data packet loss conditions and preliminary identification of affected data packet groups before transmission continues. By detecting packet loss and identifying dependent packets in advance, the system prevents wasteful transmission of unusable packets, thereby improving network efficiency and reducing resource waste.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent establishes a feedback mechanism where transmission status information is obtained and used to adjust transmission decisions. The system monitors transmission conditions, detects packet loss, and uses this feedback information to identify and stop transmission of affected data packet groups, creating a closed-loop control system that optimizes resource usage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If data packet loss detection and group identification is implemented, then network transmission efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork transmission efficiencyVSAvoidtransmission system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments data packets into distinct groups based on their dependency relationships and transmission characteristics. By dividing the data stream into identifiable groups with specific identifiers, the system can efficiently detect packet loss and determine which groups are affected, managing complexity through structured organization rather than holistic processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces transmission status information as an intermediary element that carries packet loss detection data and group identification information. This intermediary structure facilitates the complex detection and identification processes by providing a standardized interface for tracking transmission conditions and determining which data packet groups should be stopped.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a data packet transmission method, a communication device, a computer-readable storage medium, and a computer program product, and belong to the field of communication technologies. The method includes: obtaining a target data detection rule and a target processing rule for a target service flow; receiving a to-be-forwarded data packet; and determining, from the to-be-forwarded data packet, a target data packet belonging to a target group of the target service flow based on target data packet distinguishing information and a target group identifier that are included in the target data detection rule; determining data packet loss information in the target group; and determining that the target group is a target to-be-discarded group based on a target-group data packet loss threshold included in the target processing rule and the data packet loss information in the target group.
