Server-Side Remote Quality Measurement With Synchronized Comparison
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The timing of receiving quality information from remote devices is not synchronized with the timing of starting comparison, leading to deviations and suboptimal control in communication networks.
Innovation Solution
A server system that collects responses from multiple remote devices and performs comparison and determination only when all responses are received, ensuring synchronized timing for optimal control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If quality information is collected from remote devices on a request or subscription basis, then quality information can be gathered from multiple devices, but the timing of receiving quality information is not synchronized with the timing of starting comparison, causing deviation and preventing rapid control
Solution Approach 1:
The server transmits the measurement signal to all remote devices in advance and waits for responses before performing comparison. This preliminary action ensures that all quality information is collected and synchronized before the comparison operation begins, eliminating timing deviations and enabling rapid, optimal control decisions.
2Productivity
If quality information is collected asynchronously from remote devices, then collection can occur continuously, but deviation occurs between reception timing and comparison timing, preventing optimum control
Solution Approach 1:
The server creates a synchronized timing state by waiting to receive responses from all remote devices before initiating comparison. This equipotential approach ensures that all quality measurements are evaluated at the same reference timing point, eliminating timing deviations and achieving optimal control precision.
