Communication Control Apparatus for Streaming Network State Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In communication systems using unstable wireless communication paths, determining the network state for stable streaming is challenging due to high delay and packet loss in the first communication line compared to the second wired line.
Innovation Solution
A communication system with a control apparatus that manages network states by monitoring packets between a transmission apparatus and a reception apparatus, using a first unstable wireless communication line and a second stable wired communication line, and adjusts streaming based on packet reception intervals and loss amounts to ensure continuous streaming.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If streaming is performed using a wireless communication path, then communication flexibility and mobility are improved, but connection stability deteriorates due to packet loss and delay
Solution Approach 1:
The network path is segmented into multiple communication lines (first communication line and second communication line) with different stability characteristics. The control apparatus monitors each segment independently and can selectively route traffic or adjust streaming parameters based on the state of individual segments, thereby maintaining overall streaming stability despite wireless instability.
Solution Approach 2:
The control apparatus implements continuous feedback monitoring of packet transmission states between the transmission apparatus and reception apparatus. By measuring packet loss rates and delay times in real-time, the system dynamically adjusts streaming parameters or switches communication paths to maintain stable streaming despite wireless communication fluctuations.
2Reliability
If network state monitoring is implemented to ensure stable streaming, then streaming reliability is improved, but system complexity increases due to additional monitoring and control mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The control apparatus performs multiple functions including packet monitoring, state determination, and streaming control within a single integrated system. This multi-functional approach consolidates what could be separate complex subsystems into one unified controller, managing network state and streaming parameters simultaneously to reduce overall system complexity while maintaining streaming stability.

AI summary
The present technology relates to a communication system and a control apparatus that enable to properly find out a state of a network in which streaming is performed.A transmission apparatus performs streaming to a reception apparatus, and a control apparatus manages the state of a network that connects the reception apparatus and the transmission apparatus and includes a first communication line and a second communication line. The first communication line is unstable in connection state as compared with the second communication line, and the control apparatus manages the state of the network on the basis of a packet transmitted from the transmission apparatus to the reception apparatus. The present technology can be applied to a communication system that performs streaming by UDP.
