Wireless Bandwidth Reservation for Seamless Data Transfer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current cellular and wireless switching systems fail to maintain continuous data transmission due to RF reception interruptions, particularly affecting ongoing data communication between cellular devices and applications, as they lack hosted solutions and auto-reconnect technologies for packet session failures.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that reserve bandwidth on a wireless switching network for continuous data transmission, allowing immediate reestablishment of connections upon interruptions by maintaining the reserved bandwidth and controlling the reconnection process at the cellular network level, enabling seamless transfer of digital images and audio information between devices and a centralized database.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If bandwidth is reserved on the wireless switching network for continuous data transmission, then connection reliability is improved, but network resource utilization is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by reserving bandwidth on the wireless switching network before actual data transmission begins. This reservation ensures that when RF reception is interrupted, the bandwidth is already allocated and ready for immediate reconnection, eliminating the need to re-negotiate bandwidth allocation during failure recovery.
Solution Approach 2:
The bandwidth reservation mechanism enables continuity of useful action by maintaining the allocated bandwidth throughout the session, including during RF interruption periods. The reserved bandwidth remains held in the network resources, allowing the connection to be reestablished immediately without interruption to the data stream once RF reception resumes.
2Reliability
If auto-reconnect technology is implemented for packet session failures, then data transmission reliability is improved, but system complexity is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism at the network level (wireless switching network) that handles the auto-reconnect function. Rather than implementing complex reconnection logic within the cellular telephone or application layer, the network infrastructure serves as an intermediary that maintains bandwidth reservations and facilitates seamless reconnection, thereby reducing end-device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service by allowing the network to automatically manage bandwidth reservation and reconnection without requiring manual intervention or complex client-side logic. The wireless switching network autonomously maintains the reserved bandwidth and facilitates reconnection based on RF condition changes, eliminating the need for sophisticated client implementations.
3Stability of the object's composition
If bandwidth is reserved for reestablishment upon interruption, then connection stability is improved, but available network capacity is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by reserving bandwidth on the wireless switching network before actual data transmission begins. This reservation ensures that when RF reception is interrupted, the bandwidth is already allocated and ready for immediate reconnection, eliminating the need to re-negotiate bandwidth allocation during failure recovery.

AI summary
A method and apparatus for transmitting audio information and digital images via a wireless switching network by performing the operations of starting a photo or audio session by a digital camera or audio appliance; connecting the digital camera or audio appliance to a wireless telecommunication terminal; reserving bandwidth on the wireless switching network; transmitting digital images or audio information between the digital camera or audio appliance and a centralized database via a first path on the wireless switching network; and establishing a second path for transmission of digital images or audio information upon the first path being interrupted using the reserved bandwidth for the second path.
