Automated Radio Data Transmission via Network Intermediary
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current IoT devices require establishing a directed TCP/IP-based connection for data transmission, which is inefficient and costly for networking radio devices in a mobile radio network, especially when using NarrowBand IoT technology.
Innovation Solution
A communication system that enables automated data transmission between radio devices via a mobile radio network without the need for a directed connection, using a predetermined network node to route data between devices, allowing them to communicate independently and efficiently.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a directed TCP/IP-based connection is established between IoT devices, then reliable data transmission is achieved, but device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a mobile network operator's network infrastructure as an intermediary to handle connection establishment and routing. The transmitting device sends data to the mobile network, which then delivers it to the receiving device, eliminating the need for direct device-to-device connection management while maintaining reliable transmission
2Reliability
If a directed connection is established between transmitting and receiving devices, then data can be transmitted reliably, but the ease of operation deteriorates as devices must know each other's addresses
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile network acts as a mediator that abstracts away the complexity of address management. The transmitting device only needs to send data to the mobile network without needing to know the receiving device's address, while the mobile network handles the routing and delivery automatically
3Adaptability or versatility
If TCP/IP protocol stack is implemented in every IoT device, then global internet communication is enabled, but device complexity and manufacturing cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile network operator's infrastructure serves as an intermediary that provides internet connectivity services without requiring full TCP/IP protocol stacks in end devices. The network handles protocol processing, allowing devices to communicate globally through the mobile network while maintaining simpler device architecture
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile network infrastructure provides universal communication services to multiple devices, replacing the need for each device to independently implement complex protocol stacks. The network performs multiple functions including routing, addressing, and protocol handling for all connected devices

AI summary
The invention relates to a method and a communication system (1) for automated data transmission between radio devices (20, 30), wherein the radio devices (20, 30) are networked with each other via a mobile network (2) and can communicate independently and thus perform various tasks for an owner, wherein a transmitting radio device (20) does not have to address the target radio device (30) or establish a directed connection to the target radio device (30). This task is performed by a predetermined network node (50) of the mobile network (2).
