SMS Message Compression for Bandwidth-Limited Network Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The increasing volume of information communicated through mobile and communication networks leads to bandwidth insufficiency, causing delays or preventing communication.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for compressing Short Message Service (SMS) messages by using dictionaries sorted by symbol probability, where each symbol is encoded based on a predetermined distance within the text, reducing bandwidth usage between devices and network facilities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If SMS messages are transmitted without compression, then message delivery is simple and fast, but bandwidth consumption increases causing network congestion and communication delays
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary compression action to SMS messages before transmission. The compression engine pre-processes messages by identifying repeated patterns and replacing them with references, so that when messages are transmitted through the network, they occupy less bandwidth. This preliminary action resolves the contradiction by reducing bandwidth consumption upfront while maintaining communication efficiency through the decompression process at the destination.
2Quantity of substance
If message volume increases to meet growing communication needs, then more information can be exchanged, but bandwidth insufficiency causes delays and prevents communication
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter of message size through compression. By applying compression algorithms that identify and eliminate redundancy in SMS messages, the effective size of each message is reduced. This allows a higher quantity of messages to be transmitted through the same bandwidth capacity, thereby increasing message volume without causing communication delays that would result from bandwidth insufficiency.
3Loss of energy
If compression is applied to reduce bandwidth usage, then network resource efficiency improves, but processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a compression engine as an intermediary component between the message source and the network transmission path. This intermediary performs the complex compression processing locally, transforming messages into a compact format before transmission. The complexity is confined to this intermediary device, while the network itself benefits from reduced bandwidth usage. The intermediary handles the processing complexity locally, allowing simple transmission and decompression operations elsewhere in the system.
Data Source
AI summary
The present disclosure is directed towards systems and methods for compressing messages, such as Short Message Service (SMS) or text messages between fixed or mobile devices through communications networks. The data of, for example, SMS messages is compressed and forwarded through a communication network to an appliance having a processing unit. The appliance decompresses the message and controls its delivery through network communication devices, where the decompressed SMS message is forwarded to its destination.
