Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If only one network is selected for data transmission, then device complexity is reduced, but productivity decreases due to rapid load factor increase on single network

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork selection complexityVSAvoiddata transmission efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides data into multiple partial data segments and transmits them through different access networks simultaneously. The transmitting device segments the original data into first partial data and second partial data, sending them over first and second access networks respectively. This segmentation allows parallel transmission across multiple networks, improving overall data transmission efficiency while distributing network load.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the transmitting device measures transmission state information including data transmission time intervals and data reception time intervals. Based on this feedback, the device dynamically adjusts transmission rates for partial data on different networks. The controller monitors network conditions and modifies transmission parameters in real-time to optimize performance while managing complexity.
