Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If data is transmitted using traditional single-channel methods, then the transmission process is simple to implement, but the data transmission speed and efficiency are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides data transmission into multiple parallel channels (first channel, second channel, etc.), where each channel transmits different data packets simultaneously. This segmentation of the transmission path enables parallel processing of data, significantly increasing overall transmission speed and efficiency while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular channel design.
2Productivity
If multiple channels are used for parallel data transmission, then data transmission efficiency increases, but the complexity of channel management and coordination increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the receiver sends confirmation messages back to the sender to indicate successful data packet reception. This feedback enables the sender to track which packets have been received and which need retransmission, simplifying the management of multiple channels by providing automatic acknowledgment and error handling without requiring complex coordination protocols.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent establishes channel connections and negotiates transmission parameters before actual data transfer begins. The sender and receiver pre-coordinate channel assignments and data segmentation strategies, which simplifies real-time channel management during transmission by having all coordination decisions made in advance.
3Speed
If data is segmented into multiple packets for parallel transmission, then transmission speed improves, but the risk of packet loss and the need for retransmission increases
Solution Approach 1:
The receiver monitors incoming data packets and sends feedback messages to the sender indicating which packets were successfully received and which were lost or corrupted. This feedback mechanism enables selective retransmission of only the missing packets rather than retransmitting all data, maintaining high transmission speed while improving reliability through targeted error correction.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates error detection codes and packet sequencing information into each data packet before transmission. This preliminary preparation of packets with built-in verification mechanisms enables the receiver to quickly identify lost or corrupted packets without requiring complex post-transmission analysis, thereby maintaining both speed and reliability.

AI summary
A method for transmitting data between a sender and at least one receiver in an arranged communications group is described, the method comprising the steps of: arranging the communication group; the sender sending a connection request to the at least one receiver, the connection request including information on the data to be transferred; the sender receiving confirmation of the connection request and a plurality of channels to send the data to; generating a plurality of data packets based on the data to be transmitted and the plurality of channels; sending in parallel the data to the plurality of channels; and receiving confirmation on whether or not the data was received. An apparatus for transmitting data between a sender and at least one receiver is also described.
