Priority-Based Communication Network Connection Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional digital communication networks face issues where connections between participants remain active even after low-priority message transmission, blocking channels and preventing high-priority messages from being sent to connected participants, and high-priority data packets can overwhelm the network.
Innovation Solution
A communication network where participants establish connections with a maximum time based on message priority, allowing low-priority messages to terminate connections and enabling high-priority messages to be transmitted reliably, with a broadcast scheduler sorting messages by priority and destination to manage connection requests effectively.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Duration of action of stationary object
If connections remain active as long as participants exchange messages, then message transmission continuity is improved, but channel availability for other participants deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The connection duration is made dynamic rather than static. The system automatically terminates connections after a maximum duration is reached, allowing the connection state to change from persistent to temporary based on time elapsed, thus resolving the contradiction between maintaining continuous message transmission and freeing channels for other users
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements periodic connection termination by setting maximum connection times. Connections are automatically ended after predetermined time intervals, creating a periodic pattern of connection establishment and termination that ensures channel availability while maintaining message transmission during active periods
2Speed
If high-priority data packets are transmitted with high priority, then transmission speed is improved, but network overload occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies partial priority treatment rather than universal high priority. By giving high priority only to certain data packets while maintaining normal priority for others, the system achieves fast transmission for urgent messages without causing network overload from all traffic being treated with maximum priority
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the priority parameter of data packets based on their importance. By dynamically assigning different priority levels to different packets, the system optimizes transmission speed for critical messages while preventing network overload through differentiated handling of various traffic types
3Productivity
If maximum connection time is set based on message priority, then channel utilization is improved, but connection management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by determining and storing maximum connection times before connections are established. By pre-calculating connection durations based on message priorities and storing them in advance, the system simplifies real-time connection management while maintaining optimized channel utilization
Solution Approach 2:
The connection management system serves itself by automatically terminating connections based on pre-determined maximum times. The system monitors connection duration and autonomously ends connections without requiring manual intervention or complex real-time decision-making, thus improving channel utilization while keeping management simple

AI summary
A communication network according to the invention comprises at least one first participant (1, 2, 3) and one second participant (1, 2, 3). The participants (1, 2, 3) establish pairwise connections to each other. The connected participants (1, 2, 3) transmit messages via the connection. Each message is assigned a priority. At least one connected participant terminates the connection after the expiry of a maximum connection time (24, 25). The maximum connection time (24, 25) depends on the priority of the messages to be transmitted.
