Power-On Connection Retry Timing for Network Component Onboarding
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
When a new component is powered on in a network, repeated attempts to establish a connection increase processing load and congestion, leading to unreliable network connections and inefficient resource allocation.
Innovation Solution
An orchestrator system that implements periodic connection attempts with defined time periods and reconnect times to manage the connection process, reducing processing load and congestion by automating the connection process for newly powered-on components.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If repeated connection attempts are made every second, then the network continuously tries to establish connection, but processing load and congestion increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic connection attempts with exponentially increasing intervals (1 second, 2 seconds, 4 seconds, 8 seconds, etc.) instead of continuous attempts every second. This periodic action with escalating time periods reduces the frequency of connection attempts over time, thereby lowering processing load and network congestion while still maintaining persistent connection establishment efforts.
2Reliability
If connection attempts are made every second, then connection establishment is continuously pursued, but network congestion increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs periodic connection attempts with doubling time intervals (1, 2, 4, 8, 16 seconds...) instead of uniform one-second attempts. This periodic approach with increasing periods reduces the frequency of connection requests over time, thereby decreasing network congestion and harmful traffic patterns while maintaining the goal of establishing connections.
3Reliability
If continuous connection attempts are made, then connection establishment is prioritized, but resource allocation becomes inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic connection attempts with exponentially increasing intervals instead of continuous uniform attempts. This approach optimizes resource allocation by reducing the frequency of connection requests over time, allowing network resources to be allocated more efficiently while still pursuing connection establishment systematically.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically changes the time interval parameter between connection attempts, increasing it exponentially (1, 2, 4, 8, 16 seconds...). This parameter change optimizes resource allocation by adapting the connection attempt frequency to system conditions, reducing unnecessary processing load while maintaining connection establishment efforts.

AI summary
An automated power on notification system includes a non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store instructions thereon. The system further includes a processor connected to the non-transitory computer readable medium. The processor is configured to execute the instructions for detecting a failure to establish a connection with a newly powered on component. The processor is further configured to instruct a transmitter to transmit a periodic timer signal to the newly powered on component, wherein the periodic timer signal indicates a time period for the newly powered on component to wait prior to repeating an attempt to connect to a network. The processor is further configured to receive a connection request from the newly powered on component after the time period has elapsed. The processor is further configured to establish a connection between the newly powered on component and the network.
