Solution Overview
Problem
Existing radio signal transmission systems face challenges in maintaining optimal data transmission rates, especially in scenarios with varying environmental conditions and multiple parallel transmissions, which can lead to errors and failures due to inadequate capacity and channel bottlenecks.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that dynamically adapt data transmission rates using a data transmission rate manager, which monitors available capacity and adjusts encoding parameters such as quality, resolution, and frame rate, while implementing dynamic forward error correction and lossy or lossless compression to ensure reliable data transmission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If data transmission rate is increased to meet higher data requirements, then data transmission capacity is improved, but transmission errors and failures increase due to channel bottlenecks
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adapts the data transmission rate based on real-time channel conditions. The encoder adjusts encoding parameters such as quality, resolution, and frame rate according to current transmission capacity availability, transforming the static transmission rate into a dynamic parameter that responds to changing channel conditions, thereby resolving the contradiction between maintaining high transmission rates and ensuring reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes encoding parameters (quality, resolution, frame rate) to adapt the data transmission rate to available channel capacity. By modifying these parameters, the system can reduce the transmission rate when channel conditions deteriorate, preventing transmission errors while maintaining optimal performance when conditions are good
2Productivity
If multiple parallel transmissions are conducted simultaneously, then overall data throughput is improved, but channel capacity becomes insufficient leading to transmission failures
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges multiple data streams into a shared radio channel with unified capacity management. The data transmission rate manager coordinates the allocation of channel capacity among multiple entities, combining their transmissions in a way that respects the total available capacity, thereby maintaining both high overall throughput and individual transmission reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the data transmission rate manager monitors the actual usage of channel capacity by multiple entities and adjusts their respective transmission rates accordingly. This feedback loop ensures that the sum of all transmissions does not exceed available capacity, preventing transmission failures while maximizing overall throughput
3Reliability
If data transmission rate is dynamically adapted based on channel capacity, then transmission reliability is improved, but system complexity increases due to monitoring and adjustment mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The data transmission rate manager performs multiple functions: monitoring channel capacity, calculating available capacity, and adjusting transmission rates for multiple entities. By consolidating these functions into a single multi-functional component, the system achieves dynamic adaptation without proportionally increasing complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The encoder automatically adjusts encoding parameters based on information from the data transmission rate manager without requiring external intervention. The system serves itself by having the encoder respond autonomously to capacity information, reducing the operational complexity despite the sophisticated adaptation mechanism
