Solution Overview

Problem

Existing packet transmission systems experience transmission delays and complex management due to packet integration, as packets are forced to wait in queues and require proper setting of minimum integration numbers and timeout values based on network conditions.

Innovation Solution

A packet transmission system that includes a packet extraction unit to search and extract packets by destination, and an encapsulation unit to combine packets into a single packet for transmission, reducing delays and simplifying management by automatically setting the number of packets to integrate based on network capacity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If packet integration is performed by accumulating packets in a queue and waiting for timeout or minimum integration number, then network bandwidth utilization is improved, but transmission delay increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork bandwidth utilizationVSAvoidtransmission delay
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent dynamically adjusts the integration behavior based on real-time queue status and network conditions. Instead of fixed timeout values or minimum integration numbers, the system adaptively determines when to integrate packets, balancing bandwidth utilization with delay constraints by monitoring queue depth and adjusting integration timing accordingly

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the integration parameters from static (fixed timeout, fixed minimum number) to dynamic values that adjust based on current network conditions and queue state, allowing the system to optimize the trade-off between bandwidth utilization and transmission delay by modifying integration thresholds adaptively

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If packet integration uses fixed minimum integration number and timeout value, then system management is simplified, but adaptability to different network conditions deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem management simplicityVSAvoidadaptability to network conditions
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service by enabling the packet integration system to automatically adjust its own parameters based on monitored network conditions. The system autonomously determines optimal integration timing and thresholds without requiring manual configuration or external control, adapting to varying network states while maintaining operational simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms that continuously monitor network conditions, queue depth, and transmission patterns, using this information to dynamically adjust integration parameters. This closed-loop approach enables the system to adapt to changing network conditions while maintaining simple operation through automatic parameter tuning

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Disclosed are a packet transmission apparatus and so on that can suppress transmission delays caused by packet integrations and that can perform the transmissions over a broad band. The packet transmission apparatus includes: a packet extraction means that searches for and extracts, from a buffer for sorting and accumulating packets for respective destinations, the packets for the respective destinations and that, if a plurality of packets addressed to an identical destination have been accumulated in the buffer, extracts the plurality of packets from the buffer; and an encapsulation means that encapsulates the packets, which have been extracted by the packet extraction means, into a single packet for each destination.
