Time-Division Channel Arbitration for Collision-Free Data Transmission
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Collisions occur in transmission channels shared by multiple communication participants due to uncoordinated data transmission, leading to potential disruptions and inefficient use of resources when deterministic authorization is employed.
Innovation Solution
A system where communication participants dynamically assign messages to transmission channels based on current and expected operating conditions, using conflict resolution phases to determine transmission authorization, prioritizing messages based on urgency levels and redundancy, and synchronizing these processes across all participants to avoid collisions and optimize channel utilization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If deterministic transmission authorization is used to avoid collisions, then collision risk is reduced, but transmission resource utilization deteriorates when communication volume fluctuates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by transitioning from static deterministic authorization to dynamic authorization mechanisms. Communication participants continuously adjust their transmission rights based on real-time channel conditions and communication volume fluctuations, allowing the system to adapt to changing conditions while maintaining collision avoidance and optimizing resource utilization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where communication participants monitor channel utilization and collision status, then adjust their transmission authorization accordingly. This feedback loop enables the system to learn from past performance and make informed decisions about future transmission rights, resolving the contradiction between reliability and productivity.
2Productivity
If dynamic message assignment is implemented to optimize channel utilization, then transmission resource efficiency improves, but collision risk increases without coordinated conflict resolution
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by implementing conflict resolution phases before actual data transmission occurs. Communication participants first negotiate and determine transmission authorization in a coordinated manner, then execute the transmission. This preliminary coordination prevents collisions while enabling dynamic and efficient channel utilization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges multiple functions into the conflict resolution phase: collision detection, channel utilization monitoring, and transmission authorization determination are combined into a single coordinated process. This integration allows the system to achieve both high efficiency and reliability simultaneously.
3Device complexity
If fixed transmission authorization is used, then coordination complexity is reduced, but adaptability to fluctuating communication volume deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling communication participants to autonomously manage their own transmission authorization based on their communication volume and channel conditions. Each participant actively participates in conflict resolution and adjusts their transmission rights dynamically, reducing the need for complex centralized coordination while maintaining high adaptability.
Data Source
AI summary
A method and a system for transmitting data over transmission channels shared by several communication participants through time-division multiplexing. Each of the communication participants is configured to dynamically assign messages which are to be sent over the transmission channels to the transmission channels and to assign messages which are to be sent over the transmission channels and which comprise data that is to be transmitted redundantly, to different transmission channels. The communication participants may be further configured to cooperatively determine, in a conflict resolution phase assigned to a time slot, for each of the transmission channels, which of the communication participants is authorized to transmit over the respective transmission channel in the time slot.
