Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication methods are not capable of achieving high enough data transmission rates to enable timely transmission and analysis of very large data sets, which have a short shelf-life, necessitating improved methods for rapid data transfer.
Innovation Solution
The method involves breaking down large data sets into smaller portions and transmitting them via parallel communication sessions, monitoring data transmission rates, and selectively terminating and re-initiating communication sessions to optimize overall data transfer rates, while controlling the number of communication sessions to prevent bandwidth inefficiencies.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If data is transmitted via single communication session, then device complexity is low, but data transmission rate is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the large data set into multiple portions and transmits them through multiple parallel communication sessions simultaneously. This segmentation approach increases the overall data transmission rate by utilizing multiple communication channels at once, directly resolving the contradiction between transmission speed and session management complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from single-dimensional sequential transmission to multi-dimensional parallel transmission by establishing multiple communication sessions across different dimensions. This allows data to be transmitted along multiple paths simultaneously, dramatically improving transmission rate while the system manages the increased complexity through automated session control.
2Speed
If number of communication sessions is increased, then data transmission rate improves, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic session management where the system continuously monitors data transmission rates and automatically adjusts the number of active communication sessions. When transmission rates satisfy performance requirements, the system reduces the number of sessions to conserve battery power. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction by making energy consumption variable rather than fixed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes operational parameters by adjusting the number of active communication sessions based on real-time performance monitoring. When transmission goals are achieved with fewer sessions, the system reduces session count to lower energy consumption, thereby resolving the trade-off between transmission speed and power usage.
3Speed
If parallel communication sessions are established, then data transmission rate improves, but bandwidth efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms that continuously monitor data transmission rates and system performance. Based on this feedback, the system dynamically adjusts the number of parallel communication sessions to optimize both transmission speed and bandwidth efficiency. This prevents unnecessary parallel sessions from consuming excessive bandwidth while maintaining high transmission rates.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from static to dynamic session management, continuously adapting the number of parallel sessions based on real-time bandwidth conditions and transmission requirements. This dynamic approach ensures optimal bandwidth utilization while maintaining high data transmission rates, resolving the contradiction between speed and efficiency.
