Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data transmission methods in communication networks, particularly for devices like electricity meters, face inefficiencies due to unpredictable data generation and varying network conditions, leading to potential network saturation and excessive data consumption, especially in cellular networks with subscription limits.
Innovation Solution
A method for transmitting data in push mode that evaluates transmission conditions using quality indicators, adjusts transmission robustness based on these conditions, and incorporates time thresholds to optimize data transmission within specified intervals, reducing transmission failures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If data is transmitted immediately without checking transmission conditions, then transmission speed is improved, but transmission reliability deteriorates due to potential failures under poor network conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by evaluating transmission conditions (signal quality, network status) before initiating data transmission. The sending device checks transmission conditions in advance and only transmits when conditions meet predefined thresholds, preventing transmission failures before they occur.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the sending device continuously monitors transmission conditions and adjusts transmission decisions based on real-time network status. Transmission conditions are evaluated using feedback from the network environment, and transmission is dynamically controlled based on this feedback loop.
2Reliability
If transmission conditions are evaluated and delays are implemented when conditions are poor, then transmission reliability is improved, but transmission time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making transmission timing flexible rather than fixed. The sending device dynamically adjusts transmission timing based on real-time evaluation of transmission conditions, implementing delays only when necessary to improve reliability, and transmitting immediately when conditions are favorable.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of transmission timing based on transmission condition evaluation. When signal quality or network status falls below thresholds, the transmission time parameter is adjusted by implementing delays. When conditions improve, the timing parameter is optimized to transmit as soon as possible.
3Reliability
If multiple transmission attempts are made under poor conditions, then data delivery is ensured, but network saturation and data consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent prevents unnecessary transmission attempts by evaluating transmission conditions before each transmission. By checking signal quality and network status in advance, the system avoids initiating transmissions that would likely fail, thereby preventing network saturation and excessive data consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent converts the potential harm of poor transmission conditions into a benefit by using condition evaluation to make intelligent transmission decisions. Instead of blindly retrying transmissions under poor conditions, the system uses the poor conditions as a signal to delay transmission until conditions improve, thereby benefiting from better network efficiency.
4Reliability
If transmission robustness is increased to handle poor conditions, then transmission reliability is improved, but data transmission efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes transmission parameters dynamically based on evaluated conditions. When transmission conditions are poor, robustness parameters are increased to ensure reliable delivery. When conditions are good, robustness parameters are reduced to maximize transmission efficiency, achieving optimal balance between reliability and efficiency.
