Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently and securely conveying communications signaling information, particularly in applications requiring high system throughput, such as video teleconferencing and HD video surveillance, due to varying device capabilities and power configurations.
Innovation Solution
A wireless device controller enables or disables a dynamic power save (DPS) mode based on membership in a multiple BSSID or co-hosted BSSID set and specific conditions, including STA types and operating parameters, to optimize data transmission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If dynamic power save mode is enabled to reduce power consumption, then energy efficiency is improved, but data transmission reliability may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic power save mode that can be enabled or disabled based on real-time transmission conditions. The system dynamically adjusts power saving behavior according to whether the wireless device is a member of multiple BSSID set or co-hosted BSSID set, and based on predetermined conditions regarding device capabilities and transmission requirements, thereby resolving the contradiction between power consumption and transmission reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes operational parameters by switching between different power save modes (enabled/disabled states) based on device configuration and transmission conditions. This parameter change allows the system to optimize the balance between energy efficiency and data transmission reliability according to specific scenario requirements
2Reliability
If dynamic power save mode is disabled to ensure reliable data transmission, then transmission reliability is improved, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts power save mode based on real-time assessment of transmission conditions and device configurations. When reliable data transmission is prioritized, the system disables power save mode; when power efficiency is the primary concern and transmission conditions permit, it enables power save mode, thus resolving the contradiction dynamically
3Device complexity
If wireless devices operate with fixed power modes, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability to different transmission requirements deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamic power save mode that automatically adapts to different transmission requirements based on device configurations and network conditions. This dynamic adaptation provides versatility without requiring complex manual configuration, as the system autonomously determines when to enable or disable power saving based on predetermined conditions
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-configuration and self-adjustment of power save modes based on its own operational state and detected transmission requirements. This self-service capability enhances adaptability while keeping the user interface simple and avoiding the need for complex external configuration
