Query Enhancement System Using Nested Containers for Time Delay
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing query systems in information-centric networking (ICN) fail to ensure efficient and precise query processing with low time delay, particularly in scenarios requiring mobility and security, as they are not scalable to meet response time requirements and do not effectively manage nested container structures.
Innovation Solution
A query enhancement system that logically divides network nodes into nested containers with a tree structure management topology, allowing for distributed nearby queries to meet given time delay requirements by adjusting query flows based on a time delay index set, ensuring query results are returned within a specified time limit.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If network nodes are divided into nested containers with tree structure management topology, then query time is reduced and response speed is improved, but system complexity increases due to the need to manage multiple nested container structures and time delay indexes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the network into multiple nested containers (C1, C2, C3, etc.) with tree structure management topology. Each container is managed by a specific management node, and containers are segmented by time delay indexes (Ti). This segmentation allows queries to be processed in a hierarchical manner, reducing overall query time by limiting the search scope to relevant containers first.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a time delay dimension (Ti) as an additional organizing principle alongside the spatial container structure. By mapping containers to time delay indexes and creating a tree structure with management nodes at different levels, the system adds a temporal dimension to the network organization, enabling more efficient query routing and reducing query time.
2Reliability
If the system prioritizes low time delay applications with given time delay requirements, then query precision and reliability are improved, but adaptability decreases as the system becomes specialized for time delay sensitive queries
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates different query flows (normal query flow and nearby query flow) that can be dynamically selected based on time delay requirements. The system can adaptively choose which flow to use depending on whether the application has given time delay requirements, allowing it to maintain high reliability for time-sensitive queries while still handling other query types through the normal flow.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the query processing parameters based on time delay requirements. For queries with given time delay requirements, the system uses the nearby query flow with time delay index-based container selection. For other queries, it uses the normal query flow. This parameter-based approach allows the system to optimize for reliability when needed without completely sacrificing adaptability.
3Productivity
If the system uses time delay index to select containers for query processing, then query efficiency is improved, but measurement precision becomes more difficult as the system must accurately determine and compare time delay indexes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables management nodes to automatically determine their own time delay indexes (Ti) based on their position in the tree structure and their ability to process queries. Each management node can self-assess its query processing capability and assign itself an appropriate time delay index, eliminating the need for complex centralized measurement and assignment mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from actual query processing performance to refine time delay index assignments. Management nodes can monitor their query processing times and adjust their Ti values accordingly, creating a self-optimizing system that improves measurement accuracy over time based on real performance data.

AI summary
A query enhancement system for constructing an elastic field based on a time delay, including: dividing a network node to obtain a set of containers composed of several containers, wherein the containers are nested and each container includes a management node for performing node organization, neighbor maintenance and query services within the container. Further, a query enhancement method for constructing an elastic field based on a time delay includes: carrying out same-layer non-intersection full-coverage division on a network node to obtain a set of containers that are nested, and execute a query flow without a given low time delay requirement which uses an existing query technique and a nearby query flow with a given low time delay requirement which uses a distributed nearby querying method to carry out a nearby query; with an actual query time delay index Ti less than the requirement of an upper time delay limit Ts.
