TCP UDP Receive Offloading Modem Processor Interface
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless communication systems face inefficiencies in processing data packets due to the need for individual processing of each packet through network protocol stacks, leading to increased processing times and inefficiencies, particularly in TCP and UDP protocols.
Innovation Solution
Implementing data packet receive offloading techniques where a modem groups payloads of data packets into containers, allowing the processor to handle them more efficiently through a network protocol stack by stripping a single common header, reducing processing burdens and improving throughput.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If data packets are processed individually through the network protocol stack, then each packet receives proper protocol handling, but processing time increases and system efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple individual data packet processing operations into a single batch processing operation. The network protocol stack processes a group of data packets simultaneously by stripping a single common header that encompasses multiple packets, rather than processing each packet separately. This combining approach directly reduces the total processing time and improves productivity by eliminating redundant processing steps.
2Productivity
If the processor handles each data packet individually, then detailed protocol processing is ensured, but the processing burden increases and throughput decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple data packets into a single processing unit with a common header structure. This merging reduces the processing workload on the processor by transforming multiple individual processing tasks into one consolidated task, thereby increasing data throughput without significantly complicating the processing architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the data stream into multiple packets that share a common header, allowing the processor to handle them as a unified group. This segmentation enables efficient batch processing while maintaining the integrity of individual packets, reducing the overall processing burden and improving throughput.
3Reliability
If multiple data packets are processed separately, then each packet's protocol requirements are met, but processing inefficiencies increase and overall communication efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple data packets into a single processing operation with a common header that maintains protocol compliance for all included packets. This approach ensures that each packet's protocol requirements are satisfied while achieving improved communication efficiency through reduced processing overhead and faster overall transmission.
