Transmission Management System Load Distribution via State Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional transmission management systems face increased load when multiple communication start requests occur simultaneously, leading to inefficiencies in managing the state of transmission terminals across multiple systems.
Innovation Solution
A transmission management system with a state management unit, communication control unit, and change processing units that manage and update terminal states, allowing for state information sharing between systems to distribute load and ensure seamless communication control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a single transmission management system is used to control communication start requests, then communication control can be centralized, but the load on the system increases significantly when multiple communication start requests occur simultaneously
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the transmission management system into multiple transmission management systems (first and second systems), each capable of independently managing communication requests. This segmentation distributes the system load across multiple independent units, preventing any single system from becoming overwhelmed during periods of high communication demand, while maintaining centralized control capabilities through coordinated operation.
2Power
If multiple transmission management systems are provided to disperse loads, then system load is reduced, but another transmission management system cannot manage the state of a transmission terminal controlled by a different system
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where transmission management systems exchange state information about transmission terminals they control. When one system changes the state of a terminal, it notifies other systems, which then update their local state information. This feedback loop ensures all systems maintain consistent knowledge of terminal states across the distributed architecture, enabling coordinated management without centralized control.
3Power
If multiple transmission management systems operate independently, then load is distributed, but state information of transmission terminals cannot be synchronized across systems
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal state information management mechanism that operates across all transmission management systems. Each system maintains and can access state information for transmission terminals regardless of which system originally controlled them. This multi-functional capability allows any transmission management system to manage any transmission terminal's state, ensuring information consistency and preventing data loss across the distributed system boundary.

AI summary
A management system receives, when a state of a terminal is changed based on control by another management system, state information after change that indicates the state after the change from the another management system. Consequently, there is an effect that, even if control associated with communication is executed by the another management system, the management system can control the state of the terminal based on the received state information after change.
