Signal Transition Modulation for Higher Wired Channel Throughput
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Wired communication channels have limited data throughput, which restricts the transfer of large volumes of data and introduces security vulnerabilities due to their inherent limitations and susceptibility to interference.
Innovation Solution
The method involves encoding additional data items on level transitions of signal waveforms in wired communication channels by delaying waveform levels, allowing for increased data throughput without requiring additional bandwidth, while maintaining protocol compliance and enhancing security through authentication and error correction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If data is transmitted using traditional wired communication protocols, then protocol compatibility and reliability are maintained, but data throughput is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges traditional wired communication protocols with modern high-throughput protocols by implementing a protocol conversion device that translates data packets between the two protocol types, allowing legacy devices to communicate at higher speeds without replacing existing infrastructure
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a protocol conversion device as an intermediary component that sits between traditional wired communication channels and high-throughput requirements, performing real-time protocol translation and enabling enhanced data throughput while maintaining compatibility with existing systems
2Productivity
If wired communication channels are used, then security and robustness are improved, but data throughput remains limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical/physical limitations of traditional wired communication protocols with digital protocol conversion capabilities, allowing the same physical wired infrastructure to transmit data at higher speeds through intelligent protocol translation and optimization
3Productivity
If additional bandwidth is allocated to increase throughput, then data transfer speed improves, but infrastructure cost and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the protocol parameters and transmission characteristics through software-based protocol conversion rather than upgrading physical infrastructure, enabling increased data throughput by optimizing data packet structure, encoding, and transmission timing over existing wired channels
Data Source
AI summary
An encoder for modulating data on level transitions of a signal transmitted on a wired communication channel to increase channel data throughput, comprising a circuitry configured for receiving a signal transmitted by a transmitting communication node, the signal carries a message to one or more receiving communication nodes connected to a wired communication channel, calculating a respective delay period consisting of a number of delay time units encoding one or more data items, delaying one or more transitions of a waveform level of the signal by the respective delay period to modulate the signal to carry the data item(s) and transmitting the modulated signal to one or more of the receiving communication nodes having a decoder configured for demodulating the modulated signal.
