Service Packet Response Control for Resource Optimization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing packet transmission methods consume a large quantity of resources at both the receiving device and in transmission, as they generate and send response packets for each service packet, leading to inefficient resource utilization.
Innovation Solution
The method involves setting a response packet request field in service packets, allowing the sending device to control whether a response packet is needed, and changing its value to trigger the receiving device to send a response packet only when required, thereby reducing the number of response packets generated and sent.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the receiving device generates a response packet for each service packet, then the transmission reliability is improved, but the resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the response packet generation mechanism adjustable rather than fixed. The sending device can dynamically control whether response packets are generated based on current transmission needs, transitioning between resource-saving mode (no response packets) and reliability-mode (response packets generated). This dynamic adjustment allows the system to adapt to varying network conditions and requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of response packet generation from a constant state to a controllable variable. By introducing a control mechanism where the sending device can modify the response packet request field, the system transitions from a fixed resource consumption pattern to an adjustable one, optimizing the balance between reliability and resource usage based on current needs.
2Reliability
If response packets are sent for every service packet, then the transmission reliability is improved, but the transmission resources are occupied
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts response packet transmission based on actual needs. The sending device can activate or deactivate response packet requests, creating a dynamic transmission pattern that only consumes resources when necessary for reliability, rather than continuously occupying transmission resources for every packet.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the response packet generation function from the mandatory transmission process. By making response packets optional rather than required for every service packet, the system separates the reliability function from the basic transmission function, allowing transmission to occur without the overhead of unnecessary response packets.
3Reliability
If the receiving device always sends response packets, then the transmission reliability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The receiving device's response packet generation is made dynamic rather than static. It only generates and sends response packets when triggered by the sending device's request, reducing the continuous operational complexity of always-monitoring and always-transmitting, while maintaining reliability when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service by having the sending device actively manage response packet requests through the response packet request field. This gives the sending device control over when reliability mechanisms are activated, reducing the receiving device's autonomous complexity in determining when to generate responses.

AI summary
This application relates to the field of communications technologies, and discloses a packet transmission method and an electronic device. In the packet transmission method disclosed in this application, a response packet request field is set in a service packet, and a sending device can set a value of a response packet request field in a sent service packet. When the sending device needs a receiving device to send a response packet, the sending device changes a value of a response packet request field in a subsequently sent service packet, to trigger the receiving device to send the response packet to the sending device. In this way, the receiving device can send the response packet to the sending device based on a requirement of the sending device, to reduce a quantity of response packets and save resources while ensuring transmission reliability.
