Solution Overview

Problem

In passive optical networks (PON), multi-channel binding improves channel capacity and peak rate but results in increased data transmission overhead due to frame headers, particularly affecting efficiency with short data transmissions, as the number of channels increases, leading to a trade-off between data transmission efficiency and rate that fails to satisfy user requirements.

Innovation Solution

A method is introduced to dynamically determine the multi-channel transmission mode based on data transmission efficiency and a preset threshold, balancing efficiency and rate by adjusting the number of data transmission channels, where data is divided into units and allocated across channels to optimize transmission, with a data channel binding indication added to frame headers for correct reception.

1Productivity

If multi-channel binding is used to improve data transmission rate, then channel capacity and peak rate are improved, but data transmission efficiency deteriorates due to increased frame header overhead

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission rateVSAvoiddata transmission efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent dynamically adjusts the number of bound channels based on data transmission characteristics. When data length exceeds a threshold, multi-channel binding is activated to improve throughput; when data is short, single-channel mode is used to avoid overhead penalties. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction by switching between operational modes rather than maintaining a fixed configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of channel binding configuration based on data characteristics. By monitoring data length and adjusting the number of bound channels accordingly, the system optimizes the balance between transmission rate and efficiency. The frame header overhead becomes acceptable only when data volume justifies the additional capacity.

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically configures the number of active channels based on data length thresholds. For short data packets, the system reduces the number of bound channels to minimize frame header overhead. For long data transmissions, more channels are activated to utilize the increased channel capacity effectively.

3Speed

If multi-channel binding is applied to all data transmissions, then peak rate is improved, but data transmission efficiency deteriorates for short data packets

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements dynamic mode switching between single-channel and multi-channel binding based on real-time data characteristics. A threshold mechanism determines whether to activate multi-channel binding, ensuring that the peak rate advantage is only utilized when data volume justifies the overhead, thereby maintaining high transmission efficiency for short packets while achieving high speed for long transmissions.
